Abstract [en]

The development of capabilities for national defence among land forces in the Baltic region underscoresthe need for mission command as a guiding principle of leadership and command. However, the practice of missioncommand in the contemporary military context is far from straightforward. This article presents the results of a surveyconducted with Swedish Army officers, examining their perspectives on positive as well as negative influences ontheir ability to utilize mission in their contemporary working environment. While mission command is envisioned tobecome increasingly important in the future, several obstacles are identified to its utilization and development.
