Abstract

Intenzivno korištenje specijalnih snaga doživljava globalnu kulminaciju početkom druge
polovice 20. stoljeća. Temeljne zadaće specijalnih snaga zapadnih zemalja su: izravna akcija,
specijalno izviđanje i vojna pomoć. Specijalne operacije sa sobom nose niz posebnih obilježja
koje ih razlikuju od svih ostalih vojnih snaga, koje se su po toj definiciji konvencionalne. Prema
doktrini država NATO saveza, primarna uloga specijalnih snaga je potpora konvencionalnih
snaga. Unatoč tome, postoje situacije gdje će specijalne snage provoditi neovisne zadaće i crpiti
resurse konvencionalnih snaga, kako bi ostvarile svoj cilj. Ti su slučajevi navedeni u
doktrinarnim publikacijama. Najčešće su to situacije gdje će konvencionalno pješaštvo riješiti
jedan od najvećih nedostataka specijalnih snaga: brojčanu inferiornost. Pješaštvo OS SAD-a
pružalo je učinkovitu podršku specijalnim snagama u Vijetnamu i u Iraku. Najgora situacija u
kojoj se specijalne snage mogu naći je biti okružen, bez potpore pješaštva ili zrakoplovstva.

Abstract (english)

Intensive use of special operations forces reached a culmination point at beginning of the second
half of the 20th century. The basic mission taskset of the western special operations forces are:
direct action, special reconnaissance and military assistance. Special operations are
distinguished with several characteristcs from the rest of the armed forces, which are
conventional by this definition. Acorrding to the doctrine of NATO states, the primary role of
special forces is to support conventional forces. Despite this, there are situations where special
operations forces will carry out independant mission and draw resources from conventional
forces in order to achieve their goal. These cases are listed in the doctrinal publications. Most
often, conventional infantry is called upon to make up for one of the biggest drawbacks of
special operations forces: numerical inferiority. U.S. Army infantry has in the past provided
effective support to special operations forces in Vietnam and Iraq. The worst situation special
operations forces can find themselves in is encirclement without the support of infantry or
aviation.
