Summary/Abstract: in the current circumstances when security environment is becoming increasingly unstable, having all characteristics concentrated in the already established VUCA abbreviation (volatile, Uncertain, complex, ambiguous), and its fluidity is accentuated by the global crisis and the unfavorable evolution of conflicts (Iraq , Afghanistan) in which are engaged forces of the democratic countries, both leading to serious financial constraints, it is understood the special attention paid to efficiency and effectiveness of each military action, especially the multinationals, which in the last decades of the last century and the first in the current century became prevalent. No state, regardless of size, economic and military power, the number of international missions it takes part in, no longer affords to spend huge amounts of money and the solution is to achieve goals with minimal human and material resources and with maximum results in a short time leading to the achievement of the purpose for every action (tactical, strategic), developed within that mission. Efficiency and effectiveness are not some abstract, but two essential parameters to which it is related the very possibility of an outbreak of international military missions; in order to increase their relevance in the sense that they should be quantified using synthetic indicators, which on case by case basis have a different weight and importance but which finally manage to convey the degree to which military action is or not efficient and effective.
