OPERATIV VERSUS OPERAŢIONAL. NE DORIM SCHIMBAREA?
OPERATIVE VERSUS OPERATIONAL. DO WE WANT THE CHANGE?

Summary/Abstract: Romania’s adherence to NATO has involved, among other things, the need to import and apply the military terms used within the Alliance. In this vein, the word operaţional has become part of the Romanian military’s culture and language, being frequently associated with the activities, processes, and structures that are specific to the field of operations. The acceptance and usage of this term was performed in a period when the military had already used the word operativ to refer to the same type of operations. Since there was no transition from the word operaţional to operativ and no delineation between their scopes, this resulted in an unwanted state of confusion.
