Abstract: Human resources are a key component for any organization, including military structures, because their functioning guarantees the national security of countries! At the present time, in the conditions of uncertainty and active wars, the choice of a military profession by young people is a difficult process and depends on their personal growth, social environment and beliefs. The purpose of this article is to examine motivation as a process and the motivating factors of young people in Bulgaria when choosing a military profession. The main hypothesis defended through this article is that properly motivated people will defend their country worthily and work for the peaceful resolution of regional and international conflicts. The main instrument for data collection is a survey conducted on 50 cadets who have chosen to study in various military specializations. The main conclusions we reach is that the motivation of human resources in choosing a military profession is complex and includes personal, economic, psychological and social factors, and armed forces that invest in motivated human resources for the future will be more effective and successful in war and in maintaining peace in a regional and global context!
