Abstract

With the transformation of the Croatian Defence Academy into high educational and scientific research military institute there is a need for continuous professional development of military teachers. Military vocation has certain implications in spiritual, moral, cultural, social and economic development of the society. Accordingly, a military teacher has a key role in upbringing and education of future NCOs and officers. In order to meet all challenges in front of him, and in addition to having key qualifications, the military teacher should possess intercultural competencies not only as an officer but as a military teacher too. The development of intercultural competencies of an officer is influenced by education and training in military schools, participation in peace keeping missions and the work in multinational NATO commands. One of the main goals and tasks concerning the future of military schools is creating ways of improvements and professional achievements of teachers in military upbringing and education.
