Summary/Abstract: The features of military forces in a defense system are expressed through the goals resulted from visions and missions compatible with space and time, when their defense role is expected to be integrative with other civilian actors and contributors indefense tasks. The dependence of army combat capabilities and its organization on the technology level extends to all the factors of efficiency which determine global, overall, and long term defense effectiveness. The questions of modern defense technologies and their level of integration with high developed foreign military forces, represent the most important directions for evaluation of army capabilities in contemporary conditions. The analysis of optimal army combat capabilities, its efficiency and cost-effectiveness, is done through validation issues and technology modernization accompanied by reforms of military organization framed within accepted international obligatory constrains and foreign defense policy orientations. General indicators of similar efficacy functions, valid for all types of military organizations, were discussed through selected and standardized quality criteria. The capacity of weapon/ammunition firepower integrated with maneuverability of military units is taken as the most distinguishing parameter of quality for the modern military systems and the main quality content of the combat capability. This is pointed out as the especially important for the performances selection of the military technical systems. Technological preconditions for evaluation of multipurpose military formations are considered as the new approach in the flexible and effective design of military units, consisting of available, joint, military and civil defense resources, aimed at inter-service operations. The interoperability criteria, as the new considered issue, provide comparative standard for the firepower and combat capabilities of an observed military unit, but also show compatibility with international and domestic concepts of collective defense. With newly proposed concept of organizing the army in the form of modular units it is possible to fulfill multipurpose future role of the army and at the same time meet the concepts of its flexible technological modernization.
