As a defender within the framework of his army, the soldier is first and foremost a guarantor of the external sovereignty of his country, through the latent threat to repay a restriction of sovereignty through the annihilation of people and their material livelihoods.
On the other hand, the soldier as an attacker is often only the means to the end of aggressive powers to attack other countries, to conquer them and / or to enrich themselves with the local resources.
In the event of war, the scope of duties of the soldier and his army is very wide. Depending on the situation, the following things are urgent:
Enlightenment of the enemy, assessment of the situation,
Occupying tactical, strategic or economically important points, securing the position as well as securing the hinterland and supply lines,
Incapacitate enemy soldiers.
