Abstract

The report presents a review and analysis of the application of the citizen-army concept by certain small nations to deter and defend against attack. Implementation of the concept by Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, and Israel is analyzed and the content of the Yugoslav concept of general people's defense for defeat of enemy strategy is examined.
