On 8 Nov 1978, President Carter brought Public Law 95-610 into force by signing bill S.274. This law prohibits union organizations of the armed forces, membership in military labor organizations by members of the armed forces, & recognition of military labor organizations by the government, imposing severe sanctions for violations. However, the law does not settle basic issues involving the broader concept of representation, even if it survives possible court challenges to its constitutionality. Remaining issues focus on changes in demography & enlistment rules, Dept of Defense responses to these changes, & evolution of organizations of present & former military personnel into more union-like activities. Approaches are suggested compatible with both military needs & civilian traditions. Modified HA.

Leadership and its styles have been in the spotlight for many years. The changing military environment and demands on army readiness bring new questions and perspectives to leadership. Leaders now face constant changes and specifications of the new modern era. Concerning these changes and transformations in society and the Army, there are new demands on soldiers and leaders at all levels of the Army of the Czech Republic. This paper provides insight and muse about both transactional and transformational leadership styles and investigates an approach to these styles by Czech military students. This paper aims to identify what leadership style Czech military students prefer at the University of Defence. This research focused on evaluating the personal characteristics required for a leadership position. To verify the relevance of the gained results, we employed paired t-test.

The Israeli armed forces have for a long time been portrayed as a primary agent of the new immigrants' absorption in the Israeli society, as part of the armed forces' role-extension to more general 'national' tasks. Examined is to what extent this portrayal remains valid in the 1970s. Two interrelated issues pertaining to new immigrants' military service are raised: (1) the position reached by new immigrants in terms of military ranks & units, & (2) the effect of military service on the new immigrants' social integration & mobility in the Israeli society as a whole. Computerized data, supplied by the Israeli Defense Forces & analyzed using a specially designed index of representation, show that new immigrants who completed their regular military service between 1968 & 1976 were overrepresented in the private's rank & underrepresented in all the other ranks. The key variable explaining the low position reached by new immigrants in the armed forces is their length of military service. Most new immigrants are required to serve relatively short periods which preclude their training for higher ranking positions. Regarding the effect of military service on the new immigrants' absorption in the Israeli society as a whole, it is shown that the service does strengthen their feeling of belonging to the Israeli national collectivity. Military service, no matter in what rank & unit, or for how long, acts as a symbolic rite de passage to the Israeli society. Military service is a social integrator but not an agent of social mobility. 3 Tables. Modified AA.
