Summary/Abstract: The complexity of the contemporary operational environment in which the military forces may be required to respond in order to restore the normality situation has generated credible reactions at all the levels of the security-related factors. The integrated approach to the security statuses where “the pillar systems” are described and analyzed from a political, military, economic, social, informational, infrastructural and environmental point of view, is a pertinent starting point for decoding the reality, or for developing the options response to hypothetical situations of war, crisis or fragile peace. The level of detail of military operations according to the level of approach: strategic, operational or tactical, can be assimilated to the different modes of manifestation of the other security pillars. The assessment of the military engagement environment has complex and systemic character, where the critical infrastructure is one of the key factors in planning and conducting the military actions to engage the enemy. Relationships of mutual conditioning of the ground forces actions and protection of critical infrastructure represent a wide range of evaluation and research, which needs to be thoroughly approached due to the implications and impact of the negative event on the desired final state. In this article, I have put forward the argue support of the need for an integrated approach to security factor, based on the reciprocal influences, in particular the protection of the critical infrastructures with land forces actions, according to the risk and vulnerability scenarios.
