Absztrakt
Individual, but especially massive discharge from military is never just a military problem and the lack of regulation is extremely unfavourable (eg consumption, purchasing power, unemployment and crime) to the whole society. Individualized civilian adaptation and resettlement problems like existential downturn, losing social status and housing, personal conflicts with relatives, and require institution-alized and organised human reconversion system. Soldiers have volunteered for the dangerous duty of preparing for and waging war from other members of socie-ty can live their lives in a free and safe environment. They have risked their lives for the security of their country. They have acquired the knowledge, skills and typical organizational culture that fundamentally differ from civilians' skills. To pre-vent social conflicts and acquire civilian skills as well every state needs a broad set of tools of institutionalized human reconversion and resettlement. Particularly important is the issue during application of volunteering forces when disarmament befalls at relatively young age and ex-service personnel and veterans are usually not expected to be reemployed by their previous employer. The author outlines the history of massive discharge from military in brief and domestic regulation of reconversion, defines its concept, and finally summarizes the necessary pillars of successful human reconversion.
