Summary/Abstract: The integration of technology into military education and education in general represents the reality, need, and necessity of efficient functioning and survival in the information society. Military education is vital to the military profession and the army’s future. This requires future officers to be capable and creative, learn, think, and adapt to new situations. Applying new technologies undoubtedly results in greater efficiency in mastering the planned teaching content. It makes teaching and training safer, more interactive, and more engaging, resulting in officers becoming more qualified and better equipped to face modern challenges, risks, and security threats. New technologies significantly enhance education, facilitate the transfer of theoretical knowledge, and support the development of practical skills, thereby preparing future officers to perform complex professional and combat tasks. The integration of technology into military education represents a transformative shift that enhances efficiency and prepares officers for modern warfare. In addition to building competencies, military education is crucial for fostering the interoperability of personnel (the ability to work together, communicate effectively, and comply with regulations) within the various structures of a country’s military and its allied countries. Integrating technology into military education presents a significant challenge for military education organizations. To address this, military educational institutions have begun developing specialized training modules that focus on emerging warfare technologies, intelligence analysis, and joint operations. This trend continues as military education increasingly emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to prepare officers for the complex challenges of the future. In some underdeveloped segments, it is necessary to implement, invest in, or adapt processes to meet the security environment’s requirements. The role of new technologies will be increasingly prevalent and characterized by new, innovative tools.
