Abstract
There is no doubt about the negative impact of military forces on the environment. There have been several publications about the issue both domestic and international. By the 21st century countries that have more developed armed forces realized that they need to limit their impact on the environment, their ecological footprint and at the same time they need to emphasize sustainability. Luckily today we have those technological measures and with their help these aims are achievable even that they positively influence the activities of the armed forces.
The following article would want to demonstrate these technological measures firstly through the US armed forces than through examples from NATO and Hungary.
