Use of Alternative Means of Movement in Tactical Tasks of Czech Army Units

Abstract

At present, the Czech Republic Army is significantly involved in implementing a wide spectrum of operations and tasks, including non-combat operations and assistance activities to support the Czech Republic Governmental institutions. We can mention Police, Fire fighters, Medics and so on. Because the professional part of the Army is widely involved into operations and training system, the non-professional part - Territorial forces is able to fill part of those supportive tasks. Problem is, that Territorial forces do not own such various technic and instruments, as their professional colleagues. The most critical instruments are transport vehicles, combat vehicles, sensors and radios.The article´s authors present the possibility of using a simple technical solution that can streamline army units´ work and the application with an overlap to other state components. The article aims to discuss and verify using e-bikes as a capable alternative means for implementing armed patrolling units using scientific methods´ practical use. The authors present concrete, unusual results using the knowledge of specific tactical tasks, technical possibilities, and experimental tests. Comparing useful tools, they present optimal solutions with a significant impact on units´ future use. By incorporating internal principles and models, the authors also present calculation standards for planning operations using e-bikes. The authors see problem of transport, mobility and flexibility as crucial part of every action, doesn´t matter, in which resort. The article also supports research organizations´ social significance and reflects new challenges and trends arising from real threats that may be very topical shortly. The article is applicable also for other (non) governmental institutions. The new and simple approach has potential to change many spheres of activities.
