Abstract

"Enhancing the defensive capability of countries depends on improving the knowledge, skills, behavior, and insight of the human capital of their armed forces, and systematic and targeted training and education can be regarded as the fundamental foundation for this purpose. Guiding elements such as mission, vision, principles, objectives, and policies steer the development of these strategies within organizations. The aim of this research is to elucidate the effective educational factors (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) affecting a professional naval force in the field of advanced missions. This applied study was conducted using a descriptive method, and data collection employed both field and library document methods. After content analysis of the conducted studies and adjustments, integration, and refinement of factors through expert meetings and the Delphi technique, a questionnaire was presented in the form of a thesis to 15 experts in strategic issues. Following various discussions, this ultimately led to the identification of 8 internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and 5 external factors (opportunities and threats) in the realm of advanced missions.
