The first statistical population comprised professors and officials, and the quantitative part consisted of 33rd Command and Staff Course graduates.Findings: In the evaluation of the curriculum, the findings showed that only a few elements of the curriculum are considered, not all elements, however, the results obtained are used to modify and improve the program. In the evaluation of student competencies, a diverse range of methods is used and feedback is given to students. In addition, the evaluation results are considered to some extent in the appointments of officers. There is a difference between the Opinion of faculty members, students, and commanders about the quality of evaluations. Overall, the students evaluated in the Command and Staff course were not considered desirable.Conclusion: The findings suggest that the evaluations should be reviewed and changed to increase their effectiveness and student satisfaction. https://www.qjmst.ir/article_735658.html Military universities play a crucial role in preparing defense forces for modern challenges. The emergence of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced simulations, and blockchain has intensified the need for a coherent framework for their implementation. However, cybersecurity concerns, cultural resistance, and hierarchical structures complicate the adoption of these technologies.This research aims to propose a comprehensive model (MUTIM) for integrating advanced technologies in military universities. The proposed framework, based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Innovation Diffusion Theory, consists of eight stages, including identification, design, infrastructure implementation, integration into education, capacity-building, evaluation, research and development, and policy-making.Findings indicate that the MUTIM model is adaptable to military structures and capable of addressing challenges such as data security and institutional resistance. Thematic analysis highlights the importance of education and policymaking in the model’s success. The framework, emphasizing flexibility and continuous improvement, guides technology implementation in alignment with defense missions. https://www.qjmst.ir/article_730508.html The war in Ukraine is the biggest battle between two modern armies equipped with advanced conventional weapons in recent decades in the geography of Europe, which has involved dozens of countries directly and indirectly. The main concern of the researchers is to calculate the operational lessons of the war between Russia and Ukraine in the form of geostrategic confrontation between the two naval and land superpowers in the Ukrainian region, based on the new world order and power geometry, which is descriptive-analytical through the use of library methods. (documents) and survey/field by holding expert meetings with six people in the form of a focus group and conducting in-depth interviews. Key themes using Mexquida software based on experts' opinions, library studies and expert meetings, statistics and confirmation of extracted factors in an expert information community of 28 people with demographic characteristics (strategic occupations with the rank of major general and above, familiar to the country of Ukraine and Russia, the senior intelligence analyst of the region of Russia and the Caucasus) was analyzed and tested, the result of which is the statistics of 30 key themes in the form of operational lessons of this geostrategic confrontation for future generations. https://www.qjmst.ir/article_735659.html Objective: The objective of this study is to explain how to improve the capabilities of the ground forces of the IslamicRepublic of Iran Army Field Artillery Battalions in future wars.Methodology: The type of the present study is applied and the research method is descriptive-analytical. The data and information collection method is library and field. And the data collection tool is using documents, interviews, and questionnaires. The statistical sample in the qualitative part (interviews with experts) is 20 people and in the quantitative part (questionnaire) is 71 people.Findings: The findings of this study indicate that the most important aspects of improving the capabilities of artillery in future wars are range, accuracy and speed of targeting, and agility and agility.Conclusions: Field artillery has always played an important role in wars and, by using new technologies and improving cooperation with other forces, will continue to be a key component in future wars. Enhancing the capabilities of the ground forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army field artillery is a multidimensional and complex process that can only be achieved by simultaneously paying attention to new technologies, structural and ballistic optimization, using smart ammunition, increasing operational speed and flexibility, and strengthening communications. This process requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach to enable the Nezaja artillery to be present on the battlefield of the future as a multi-purpose, fast-acting, and accurate system capable of dealing with diverse and complex threats https://www.qjmst.ir/article_730507.html The increase in rapid environmental changes has caused command and control systems (as one of the requirements of organizations involved in crisis management) to show unpredictable behavior in the face of unexpected disturbances in the operational environment. The survivability, endurance and stability of the network and its centers in such conditions will enable the implementation of the operation and guarantee its success. Operational command, under the authority of a unified and "sustainable" command and control network, can pursue operational success. The present study tried to systematically evaluate and analyze the results and findings of previous studies and explain “Robustness” in command and control systems with a qualitative approach and using Meta-synthesis method. The researched community was the articles available in the field of “Robustness” in the world's authoritative scientific databases from 1990 to 2022 in the number of 1020 articles, among which 23 suitable articles were identified and selected by judgmental sampling method. The findings of the content analysis were the extraction of 36 codes, which were classified in the form of 5 components including “Robustness”, “resilience”, “flexibility”, “agility” and "resistance". Also, for the purpose of conceptual model and inference from the results, ATLAS.ti software was used. The result of the research showed that “Robustness” is a superior capability of the system, which is based on the four adjacent capabilities of “flexibility”, “agility”, “resilience” and “resistance”. https://www.qjmst.ir/article_732906.html Background and Purpose:Skill-based training in the armed forces underpins operational effectiveness and combat readiness, playing a critical role in empowering personnel. Coaching, as an interaction-oriented approach, has been recognized as an effective method for deepening learning and enhancing the efficiency of skill-based training. This study aimed to develop a coaching-based model for advancing skill-based training in the educational centers of the Iranian Army Ground Forces.Methods:This descriptive–causal study applied a mixed-methods design. In the qualitative phase, data were gathered through literature review and semi-structured interviews with 12 experts, selected purposively until theoretical saturation. The expert pool included senior managers, training specialists, and faculty members of AJA universities and training centers with at least a master’s degree and over 20 years of experience. In the quantitative phase, a researcher-developed 37-item questionnaire was distributed to 150 participants, determined using Cochran’s formula and selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis (qualitative) and confirmatory factor analysis (quantitative).Findings:The proposed model comprised four dimensions: coach communication, learner motivation, coach self-management, and coach technical competencies. Convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs were supported by CFA results.Conclusion:Findings suggest that enhancing skill-based training in military contexts requires coaching to evolve beyond mere knowledge transfer, functioning instead as an interactive, motivating, and trust-building process that strengthens both individual and organizational learning outcomes.
