In fact, what makes the difference and
plays a key role is neither the
organizational system nor operational
procedures but motivation, involvement
of the staff and the attention given to

that doctrine, procedures, tactics and
techniques should be applied to the way

revealing as fundamental elements in the

The current extremely varied and
dynamic international context,
characterised by a variety of more and
more complex and complicated
variables, requires an appropriate and
consistent human resources management
policy, of paramount importance for
every commander. Human resources
management is a key factor to the
mission, as it gives it consistency as well as support. It is at this level that all commanders play an
important role : to achieve a shared vision and values that give meaning to a mission, to explain
why a mission should be carried out in a specific context, to define roles and responsibilities, to
promote an active participation of personnel is the right way to enable all subjects involved to
identify with the issues in questions, to help build connections and a sense of belonging.
