This paper delves into measuring the resilience of Czech armed forces to hybrid interference. The study operationalizes resilience across psychological, social, institutional, and national dimensions, employing a survey questionnaire distributed within the Czech Armed Forces, using a purposive sample of five different groups. Factors like subjective optimism, patriotism, and satisfaction with the armed forces as an employer were assessed, alongside soldiers’ political attitudes, morale, or cohesion. The data suggest high levels of resilience stemming from personal satisfaction, pro-democratic attitudes, trust in commanders, and, most importantly, resolve to fight and defend the country regardless of the actual capabilities of the armed forces. Belonging to the armed forces seems to predict one’s higher resilience despite individual-level differences such as age or education.
