“Through military lenses”. New research on officers’ perceptions of military transformation

19 April 2018 by ViA Leave a Comment

What do military officers think about force transformation? While the latter has been the object of a great deal of important research in the past decade (and more), the opinions and perceptions of servicemen have rarely been explored. To dig into what Italian Air Force officers think is the objective of latest fatigue of Fabrizio Coticchia and Francesco Moro, who, with their invaluable co-author Lorenzo Cicchi, just published an article on Defence Studies on the topic. The article, “Through military lenses. Perception of securitythreats and jointness in the Italian Air Force”, used data from an original survey conducted among ITAF captains with two major objectives. First, the article focuses on servicemen’s attitudes towards the transformations of the global security environment and the changes occurring (and needed) within the Italian Air Force. Second, the article provides preliminary statistical evidence on the links between individual experiences, views, and change. The article shows that officers’ views of technology have a significant impact on their views about military transformation. To the extent to which it is possible, enjoy!
