Members of the Croatian Air Force, Staff Sergeant Tomislav Brezak and Staff Sergeant Zvonimir Mareković, have completed a prestigious training program at the U.S. Air Force Leadership School, known as the "TSgt. Adam K. Ginett Airman Leadership School – ALS." This program, held at Aviano Air Base in Italy, represents a key step in their professional development, providing them with the skills necessary for effective leadership within military structures.

A five-week training for the development of future leaders
The program, which lasts for five weeks, includes an intensive curriculum consisting of 12 core subjects designed to enhance personal and command skills. Through these subjects, participants gain the knowledge and abilities necessary for effective squad leadership, which is crucial for the operational success of air forces.

Enhancing interoperability within NATO
One of the important aspects of this training is strengthening interoperability among allied armed forces within NATO. By participating in this program, Croatian soldiers not only improve their military skills but also build stronger bonds with members of the U.S. Air Force, contributing to collective security and more effective operations within the alliance.

Preparation for future challenges
This course represents a significant step forward in the professional development of our soldiers, enabling them to be ready for the future challenges they will face during their careers. Successfully completing this training means that Staff Sergeant Brezak and Staff Sergeant Mareković are now equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to take on leading roles within their units, contributing to the strengthening of the operational capabilities of the Croatian Air Force.

Valuable experiences and lessons learned
In addition to expert lessons and exercises, participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues from other militaries, further enriching their perspective and professional development. This international cooperation and knowledge exchange are crucial for building capabilities that transcend national borders, all in the aim of achieving common defense goals.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
