Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, the theory of defense (military science) in the Republic of Serbia was at a crossroads after the sudden turn from the Eastern (the so-called Russian) to the Western (the so-called American) standpoint. In the doctrinal documents of the Serbian Armed Forces, there has been an attempt to overcome this turn. However, these changes have made the impression that the military strategy as the main (basic) science of defense sciences has been left without its object, regardless of its importance and the primary role in creating operations as a basic means in winning strategic victories or facing defeats. It is indisputable that the military strategy has implications for operations, and also for the operational art, as well as the operational art affects strategy as an insurmountable link between tactics and strategy. .
