This chapter examines the issue of civilians in a defense establishment. First, it presents the factors that drive the involvement of civilians in defense and points out some common perceptions, or rather misperceptions in Central and Eastern European countries. Next, it offers a classification of civilian personnel in defense and examines the profession of "defense civilian" vis-à-vis the military profession. Finally, it presents a few ideas that, if properly implemented, will contribute to the establishment of a professional corps of civilian defense experts.
