随着新的信息和通信技术的发展，军事组织面临着士兵使用的新的非正式渠道的扩散，如军事博客（或“milblogs”）。这些由国防人员围绕军事主题创建的小型网站组成。因为他们有可能接触到大量的受众，milblogs已经变得有影响力，有时，有争议的，推动军事组织更加开放，但也试图控制他们。本文首先介绍了新形式的通信在军事，无论是在机构和个人层面。接下来，它讨论了比利时士兵在战场上使用milblogs以及互联网在行动中发挥的更广泛的作用，既作为一种信息工具，也是打破使命常规的一种方式。最后，它探讨了这些信息流，同时提供更多样化的观点，也与官方官僚渠道和军事文化的元素竞争。
With the development of new information and communication technologies, military organizations are confronted with a proliferation of new informal channels used by soldiers, such as military blogs (or ‘milblogs’). These consist of small websites created by defence personnel around military topics. Because they have the potential to reach a large audience, milblogs have become influential and, sometimes, controversial, pushing military organizations to be more open but also to try to control them. This article first describes the new forms of communication in the military, both at the institutional and at the individual level. Next it discusses the use of milblogs among Belgian soldiers in the field and the wider role played by the internet in operations, both as an information tool and a way to break the routine of the mission. Finally it examines how these information flows, while offering more diverse perspectives, also compete with official bureaucratic channels and elements of military culture.
