282 Journal of the Spanisch Institute for Strategic Studies N. 3 / 2014 stereotypes. 2. It will be the passage of time and case studies, among other factors, that will determine whether the undefined legal concepts contemplated in the articles outlined will cause a greater problem than the one they are attempting to resolve. In spite of that, and a priori, one senses that the inclusion as minor, serious and very serious the types of infringement that affect the effective equality of men and women and the non-discrimination of the members of the Armed Forces will have a beneficial effect on the personnel of the military Institution. 3. With the package of measures envisaged in the Regulation concerning postings and in the Disciplinary Bill, which fall within the overall framework of the modernisation of the Armed Forces and the improvement of their working conditions, it is hoped to achieve full equivalence with the Organic Law 1/2004, of 28th December, regarding Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence, and by extension for service women victims of gender violence with the rest of public servants. 4. Bearing in mind the difficulty, it would have perhaps been preferable to establish the degree or intensity of damage to discipline that these special cases previously described could incur, and that reflect the constant confrontations on a daily basis between personal, family and professional life and how to make major efforts to reconcile these without prejudicing military discipline. 5. Although the new content in the Additional 4th Provision could be appreciated as a notable achievement in the struggle against and the prevention of gender violence in the realm of the Armed Forces deployed in ships, its content could be qualified as insufficient, as it does not address the decisions facing a contingent commander of army troops deployed in an operations zone or an aircraft commander during a journey in situations of armed conflict. 6. In terms of public opinion, which views the Armed Forces more and more as an integral part of society, the legal modifications outlined mark an important advance in issues of equality, and from a broader perspective, the accomplishment of a further chapter derived from the content of Resolution 1325 of the United Nations Security Council.
