Website | The Royal Military Academy is Belgium's Defense university. The RMA is in charge of the basic education of all career officers, although two types of academic education are outsourced; i.e. all medical studies and industrial engineer. It has two full faculties - the Social and Military Sciences Faculty and the Polytechnic Faculty - and a language training center. The students earn after three years a bachelor degree from their respective faculties and after two years more a master’s degree. The Social and Military Sciences Faculty is also in charge of the continued education of all career officers. The trainees who are successful in the Higher Courses earn a master-after-master degree in Military and Defense Sciences or in Military and Public Affairs.
The RMA has, as each university, a threefold task: education, research and services to the (military) community. Research is done by the academic staff, but also by hired researchers. The RMA is also entitled to deliver PhD degrees.
Mostly through research (and less through education for the moment being), the RMA collaborates with both civilian and military universities throughout Europe mainly.
Given that, nowadays, military operations are conducted in a multinational multicultural environment, the RMA opened its doors for military students from over the world.
The RMA totals on continuous basis some 1000 students. |

| Military psychology is a self-standing branch within the Croatian Armed Forces.
Presently, the tasks of military psychology in the Croatian Armed Forces include: Combat readiness survey; Psychological prevention and support; Psychological selection and classification; Training in military psychology; Other military psychology activities (research, publishing, psychological operations, job analysis, international operations...).
Military psychology activities are conducted in specialized institutions and in military units. Psychologists assigned to Armed forced units act as officers in units commands (self-standing battalions, brigades, corps, services commands) and directly perform combat readiness survey and psychological prevention and support, and partly other tasks too.
The Unit psychologists concept is based on interaction of military organization demands (psychological casualties minimizing and soldier effectiveness maximizing respectively) and advancement in applied (organizational, industrial and crisis) psychology. Psychological selection and classification (to certain extent), training in military psychology are performed by psychologists in specialized institutions.
The Section for Military Psychology in the Ministry of Defence is a central body of psychological branch. |

Meeting these challenges successfully, Directorate of Psychological Research (DPR) grew into a full-fledged Institute, Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) in 1982.

The Swedish Armed Forces are one of the nation's largest authorities. Our task is to be responsible for Sweden's military defence.
As the Armed Forces are an authority, it is the Parliament and the Government that decide how our activities will be run and what our tasks will be. Each year, the Armed Forces are presented with Appropriation Directions from the Government, setting out Government decisions on activities to be carried out by the authority over the forthcoming year. The Swedish Armed Forces receive approximately SEK 40 billion to perform these tasks. Around half of the money goes to the activities conducted by the units. The other half goes to research, development and materiel systems.
THE FOUR PRINCIPAL TASKS OF THE SWEDISH ARMED FORCES
- When Sweden's borders are violated, it is the task of the Armed Forces to repel the violating party from Swedish territory.
- If Sweden falls under attack from a foreign power, it is the task of the Armed Forces to defend the country and repel the aggressor.
- During catastrophes, such as flooding or storms, it is the task of the Armed Forces to assist through different forms of support missions.
- The Swedish Armed Forces also have the task of working for peace and security beyond our borders. We do this by sending troops on peacekeeping and peace enforcing missions around the world.
