Through content analysis, hypothetical and deductive method and comparative analysis, this paper points to the need of supplementing the curriculum of the Military Academy, with subjects pertaining to humanistic social sciences, as contents of narrower scientific fields of military science. The complementarity of their content, in the context of the integration of primary fields of knowledge and achievement of objectives, missions and tasks of the military organisational systems for the purpose of defence, is analysed through the prism of the enhancement of education of future officers.
The analysis of the unity and complementarity of different subjects, points to the need to supplement, optimise and continuously review the curriculum for the Military Academy cadets given its significance for the development of future strategic leaders.
Supplementing curriculum for cadets of basic academic studies, of study programme Land Forces, with a range of subjects from humanistic social sciences is necessary to enhance the overall level of the cadets’ education. That implies personal and organisational behaviour, pedagogical component of the educational process founded on national culture, values and interests, which strengthens and increases the vitality of the defence system and society as a whole, with the acknowledgement of radical changes in all spheres of social reality.
Hence, through the analysis of curriculum of foreign countries’ military academies in comparison to ours, it can be concluded that there is space for the enhancement of the educational-pedagogical process by introducing new subjects in the curriculum of the cadets from the study programme Land Forces that are necessary for the improvement of educational competences of offices, the future leaders in the system of defence. In that regard, it is proposed to supplement the curriculum with new educational content of humanistic social sciences such as philosophy, academic writing, basics of international relations, basics of national and international security, and theory of war.
