Summary/Abstract: One of the most difficult problems of the first years after World War 1 was the unification of the military structures and the creation of a defensive system that was suitable to the new political and territorial realities resulted from the declarations of unification from Chişinău, Cernăuţi and Alba Iulia. The process was particularly complex and led to harsh debates among the members of the Romanian political class and of the officer corps. The solutions did not come to light easily and they were forged according to the fighting experience of the Romanian army and to Romania’s doctrinal and strategic choices at the international level. The military unification ended in 1923-1924, the most important moments being the adoption of the Constitution (1923) and the Law on the Organization of the Army (1924).
