Abstract

Ovaj završni rad prikazuje razlike i zadaće specijalnih i konvencionalnih snaga, zakonska uporišta njihovog djelovanja te specifičnosti urbanih okruženja i hibridnog ratovanja. Specijalne snage izvode složene operacije poput protuterorističkih akcija, a konvencionalne snage im tijekom provedbe operacija pružaju potporu i osiguravaju područje operacije. Operacije u urbanom okruženju su dosta zahtjevnije zbog prisutnosti civila i guste naseljenosti. S druge strane, asimetrično i hibridno ratovanje uključuju brojne nekonvencionalne taktike i kibernetičke napade. Studija slučaja, poput Drugog Zaljevskog rata te operacija „Iračka Sloboda“ mogu prikazati kako združena djelovanja specijalnih i konvencionalnih snaga mogu dovesti do pozitivnih rezultata.

Abstract (english)

This final paper presents the differences and tasks of special and conventional forces, the legal foundations of their operations, and the specifics of urban environments and hybrid warfare. Special forces carry out complex operations such as counter-terrorist operations, and conventional forces provide them with support and secure the operation area during the implementation of operations. Operations in an urban environment are much more demanding due to the presence of civilians and dense population. On the other hand, asymmetric and hybrid warfare involve numerous unconventional tactics and cyber-attacks. Case studies, such as the Second Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom, can show how the combined actions of special and conventional forces can lead to positive results.
