Publikacijoje atkreiptas dėmesys į karių ir civilių bendradarbiavimo svarbą taikos metu. Jis vyksta stiprinant viešuosius ryšius, taikant įvairias šiems ryšiams būdingas priemones, nes Lietuva neturi savo nacionalinės karių ir civilių bendradarbiavimo koncepcijos, skirtos taikos metui. Straipsnyje apžvelgti teisiniai dokumentai, reglamentuojantys karių ir civilių bendradarbiavimą, pristatyti empirinio tyrimo (interviu), atlikto Lietuvos kariuomenės Mechanizuotosios pėstininkų brigados „Geležinis Vilkas“ Kunigaikščio Vaidoto mechanizuotajame pėstininkų batalione, rezultatai. Jo metu buvo siekiama sužinoti informantų nuomonę apie civilių ir karių bendradarbiavimo svarbą užtikrinat Lietuvos saugumą, taip pat jų požiūrį į taikomas bendradarbiavimo priemones ir jų veiksmingumą. Reikšminiai žodžiai: karių ir civilių bendradarbiavimas, taikos metas, viešieji ryšiai, bendradarbiavimo priemonės. Over the past few centuries, the norms of civil-military interaction that were established and based on the Western civic thought and political order have changed. This was determined at the beginning of the 21st century when civilians became participants of war. Currently, the military faces new challenges, such as providing humanitarian assistance operations in the area while maintaining a militarized space and others. Thus, often during a military conflict, the boundaries between non-military and military actors disappear, and civilians become not only victims but also targets. The problem of the research is defined by the following questions: what means are applied in the cooperation between soldiers and civilians? What is the effectiveness of the civil-military cooperation means? The object of the research is the means of cooperation between soldiers and civilians. The aim of the study is to investigate the means applied in civil-military cooperation and their effectiveness. Objectives of the research: 1) to explain the concept of cooperation between soldiers and civilians; 2) to analyze the importance of cooperation between soldiers and civilians for modern national defence; 3) to determine the means of cooperation between soldiers and civilians used in the Duke Vaidotas Mechanized Infantry Battalion (DVMIB) and their effectiveness. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature and legal documents and interviews. The empirical study (interview) in the DVMIB which was attended by the groups of experts, servicemen and civilians revealed the following: 1) the representatives of all groups unanimously recognized the importance of cooperation between servicemen and civilians in ensuring Lithuania’s security; 2) the opinion of all three groups of informants on some measures of civil-military cooperation applied in the DVMIB was the same, i.e. about events, excursions, lectures/educational activities and social networks, however, servicemen and experts also singled out inter-institutional cooperation, while experts noted charitable activities; 3) in the opinion of all groups of informants, excursions were recognized as most effective/best applied means of establishing military relations with the civilians of the DVMIB.
