Report by Minister of National Defense (Lajos Czinege) to the HSWP Political Committee on the Command System of the Unified Armed Forces

Subject: Command System of the United Armed Forces
20 Apr 1965
Description: In this report, Hungarian Minister of National Defense Lajos Czinege criticizes the command system of the United Armed Forces (UAF). He states that the functions of the Supreme Command are not thoroughly regulated and criticizes the UAF's lack of a collective leading military body, even though the Warsaw Pact is a multilateral alliance. In view of this, Czinege proposes the establishment of a Military Committee of the armies of the member states that would include all the national ministers of defense.
