Summary/Abstract: The authors review the main military doctrinal landmarks throughout the history of the Romanians. Moreover, the emergence and development of the concept of military doctrine in the Romanian Armed Forces are analysed. In conclusion, it is shown that the doctrinal system cannot be static, its evolution being characterised by the influences of the new trends in the military art and practice and by the changes in the international environment, the armed forces having to update their military doctrines to keep up with the unpredictability of conflicts that may degenerate into wars. In essence, military doctrines show the way armed forces think, their experiences, and their training to adapt to changing operational conditions.
