Summary/Abstract: In an environment of increasingly fierce geopolitical competition and an unprecedented technological revolution, public and strategic focus often gravitates towards military hardware: autonomous drones, hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence systems. However, the effectiveness of these advanced technologies is fundamentally dependent on a much less visible, yet essential element: the human factor. Regardless of the sophistication of a weapon system, its value on the battlefield is directly proportional to the ability of personnel to develop, produce, operate, maintain, and adapt it. This paper explores the critical dimension of human resources in the new era of defense, analyzing the talent crisis, the requirement for new competencies, and the collaborative models that will define the future of global security.
