At the beginning I want to make a short comment about the term "Military Science". As you probably already realised I use the concept military science in the singular and not in the plural, because this way the importance of the co-operation of individual disciplines to a common entirety is emphasised. I start my lecture with the actual situation in Austria, with which I fall back particularly on my vocational experiences. In the second part I try to gaze at the future of military science."
