In a highly complex, interdependent phenomenon such as war the number of decisions soldiers need to make is huge. With growing uncertainties everywhere it is increasingly difficult to make smart decisions. To understand what good decisions are and how to make them, it is important to understand the broader cognitive and social aspects of human decision-making in war.

As a result, we can see a kind of “evolution”, which began from a former Soviet satellite status and continued through a role seeking period to active membership in the Euro–Atlantic community. One of the most significant security and defence policy changes can be seen with regard to the shaping and restructuring of the Hungarian Defence Forces. This paper seeks to explain this evolution in the period of 1989–1999 with the support of the János Bolyai Scholarship awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Keywords: Hungary, security policy, armed forces, regime change, Warsaw Pact, NATO
