Summary/Abstract: The supreme goal of the Lithuanian domestic and foreign policy is to strengthen national security. It is guaranteed by the state by reinforcing national security and defence institutions and preparing long-term state security enhancement programmes. Today, after the integration into the NATO defence alliance, Lithuania faces a particularly important goal of national security enhancement: education and training of professional officers. Only a young person who has a vocation for an officer’s profession and perceives the mission of an officer can become a good cadet or officer. Therefore, the development of the programme for efficient officer selection methodology and system is an urgent national issue, launched at the General Jonas Þemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania in 2001.
