| Description | This paper depicts the position of the President of the Czech Republic as the head of state and the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, including his special relation to Defence Minister who actually runs defence department. The President is superior to all members of armed forces. The Chief of General Staff is superior to all memebers of the Army. The President formally and officialy controls all the military organizations in a country. But we have no tradition of independent of armed deployment in war conflicts. Our forces operated always as a part of higher multinational coalitions, in joined combined groupings, operationally subordinated to friendly, but alien highest command. |
