20.500.12556/DKUM-80998 Vojaška obveščevalna dejavnost med ameriško vojno za neodvisnost diplomsko delo univerzitetnega študijskega programa Varstvoslovje Military intelligence in the American war for independence Osnovni namen diplomskega dela je orisati uporabo elementov vojaške obveščevalne dejavnosti v kontekstu ameriške vojne za neodvisnost in ugotoviti, ali so ti odločilno prispevali k zmagi Američanov. Razloženi so vzroki in potek vojne, katere posledice so se pokazale po vsem svetu. Opisani so ameriški in britanski pristopi do uporabe vohunov v vojaške namene med konfliktom. Nazadnje so ti pristopi primerjani na podlagi zapisov kitajskega stratega Sun Cuja v delu Umetnost vojne. Na podlagi preučenih zapisov je ugotovljeno, da so tako Američani kot Britanci med vojno redno uporabljali prikrite metode delovanja in pridobivanja informacij. Pokazalo pa se je, da so Američani pri večjih taktičnih premikih pogosteje uporabljali zvijače, ki so jih osnovali na tajno pridobljenih informacijah. Britanci so imeli več težav z uporabo vojaške obveščevalne dejavnosti, saj je med generali prevladovala miselnost, da je uporaba vohunov v vojni nečastna in nepotrebna. Iz tega sledi zaključek, da je uporaba prikritih metod delovanja in pridobivanja informacij med ameriško vojno za neodvisnost odločilno prispevala k zmagi Američanov. Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da med ameriško vojno za neodvisnost nista obe strani uporabljali vseh pet vrst vohunov, omenjenih v Umetnosti vojne generala Sun Cuja. Zagotovo so jih uporabili le Američani. Do danes namreč še ni dokazov, da bi Britanci uporabljali »mrtve vohune«. The primary goal of this final assignment is to present the elements of military intelligence employed during the American war for independence and to find out whether the use of them had played a significant role in the American victory. The causes and course of the war are explained, as its consequences significantly influenced countries around the world. American and British approaches to the wartime use of spies are described. Lastly these differing approaches are compared through the lens of The Art of War, a book authored by a Chinese strategist Sun Tzu. Based on the studied records it has been concluded that the Americans, as well as the British have often used covert methods of operating and gaining information during the war. However it would appear that the Americans were more inclined to employ the use of deception for more significant tactical moves. The use of military intelligence was far more challenging for the British. Among their generals the usage of spies for military purposes was considered dishonorable and unnecessary. A conclusion is drawn that the use of covert methods of operating and gaining information had in fact made a decisive contribution to the victory of the Americans. Finally it was shown that only the Americans used all five types of spies defined in The Art of War by Sun Tzu. So far no evidence has been uncovered that the British employed the so called »dead spy« in the course of war. diplomske naloge vojaška obveščevalna dejavnost vohuni vojna ameriška vojna za neodvisnost military intelligence spies war American war for independence true true false [M.
