How is the service in the Russian army - the pros and cons, what the conscript needs to know. How are the place of military service and the type of troops determined? Army distribution to troops

The first step towards military service should be called the registration of a young man in the military registration and enlistment office. This happens after the age of 17. In accordance with Russian law, the time allotted for this is the period between January 1 and the last day of March.

At the same time, your son is sent to the medical commission, during which the decision is actually made whether he is suitable for service in the Armed Forces.

If the child has any health problems, then parents will need to collect relevant certificates confirming the diagnosis before the medical examination. On this basis, he will be able to receive either a deferment or a complete exemption from military service.

However, those who did not succeed in doing this should not worry too much - the verdict of the first medical commission is not considered final, and is not taken into account when a decision is made to call the young man later.

Thereafter young man they hand over a registration certificate, and he becomes a conscript.

Second phase

When the guy turns 18, another examination awaits him. He is invited to the medical examination by a personal notice - a summons. It is handed over against receipt personally to him. It is worth noting in this regard that should not be considered legal:

telephone invitation;
transmission of the agenda through the parents.

Having received a notice, the young man is in the military registration and enlistment office on the specified date and time to undergo a medical examination. The following physicians are required to be on the committee:

surgeon;
therapist;
psychiatrist;
neuropathologist;
dentist;
ophthalmologist;
otorhinolaryngologist.

If necessary, it is allowed to invite other specialists.

The task of physicians, among other things, includes the obligation to determine the fitness category for each young man. From this, in particular, will depend on his future service. So:

group "A" means that the young person is fully fit to carry military service without any restrictions;
"B" - there are some contraindications;
"B" - suitability for military service is significantly limited;
"G" - temporarily unable;
"D" - completely unsuitable for health reasons.

The first two categories are subject to conscription. The third assumes that the young man is sent to the reserve, with the issuance of a military ID in his hands. He will be drafted into the army only in the event of a full-scale war.

Those who fall into the “G” group receive only a reprieve.

Persons with the following diseases will not join the Armed Forces:

bronchial asthma;
tuberculosis;
epilepsy;
stomach ulcer;
hypertension;
chronic kidney disease;
congenital anatomical defects;
oncological diseases;
blood pathology;
poor eyesight;
mental problems, etc.

A delay is given to those who are seriously ill, but a cure is guaranteed to occur. For example, category “G” includes young men with fractures.

Possible problems

It is quite obvious that doctors are not able to make a diagnosis during the examination. Thus, if your son has a certain disease, he needs to write a statement, which should contain a requirement to send him for an additional examination to a specialized medical institution.

In a situation where military registration and enlistment office workers refuse to do so, stating that they do not see any health problems in a young man, a complaint is written to the chairman of the draft commission. When this does not help, then the claim is sent to his higher authorities.

If the parents do not agree with the conclusion of the military commissariat doctors, they have the right to send the child for an independent examination. However, you should be prepared to fork out - this procedure is usually paid.

Conscription commission

As noted above, upon completion of the medical examination, the young man must appear directly at the draft board. This body, having familiarized itself with the opinion of specialists, makes the final decision. Here a young man can receive, depending on his state of health:

respite;
release.

Also, if he has no significant problems, then he will be recognized as fit.

Among other things, the above-mentioned body determines which troops the conscript will serve on the basis of:

medical restrictions;
level of education;
available skills;
the youth's own desire.

If there are any circumstances that give the right to apply for a deferment, the young man will need to present supporting documents to the commission.

It is worth noting that until the moment the young man passes the medical examination, he cannot apply for a deferral due to:

study;
the occurrence of family circumstances.

This means that if, for example, all the necessary papers of the husband are brought by the spouse, he will not be able to receive the release. Failure to appear at the military commissariat is regarded as evasion, which is punishable by law.

The decision of the above body can be challenged by filing a complaint with a higher authority or by going to court.

If the draft board does not find reasons or does not want to release the young man from the army or grant a deferment, then he is sent directly from the military registration and enlistment office to the so-called collection point. From here, he, along with others fit for military service, will be sent by military units. Time begins to count down after the young man receives the status of an ordinary.

Sending to the army directly after school

Are they eligible to call after graduation? Not! It is worth noting that even those young men who are already 18 years old are given the opportunity to enter a university. According to Russian law, after passing the final exams, he will automatically have a delay until September inclusive. This time is enough to enroll in the Institute.

Among other things, the law indicates that the right to deferment is granted to those who have received satisfactory marks in the final exams. Thus, this category includes everyone who passed the exam more or less successfully.

It is worth noting that a student cannot be taken away from the institute if he is a full-time student, even when he turns 20 years old. Thus, having received a summons for a medical examination, they should not worry - a medical examination and a call are far from the same thing.

A detailed photo report about the path that each conscript goes through - from the military registration and enlistment office to distribution. Oh, mom, I'm going to the army.
Leningrad Regional Military Commissariat, also known as the Leningrad Regional Assembly Point on the embankment of the river. Fontanka-90. Conscripts come here from all districts of the region, from the district departments of the military registration and enlistment office before being sent to the army.

Almost all employees of the military commissariat are now civilians. They are engaged in professional psychological selection and documentary training of conscripts before sending them to a military unit. Here, for each conscript, an order is given for a certain type of troops.

In total, during the spring call, Leningrad region should provide the armed forces with 3,500 recruits. Of these, at least 15% must be with higher education.

All conscripts sent to the unit undergo mandatory medical examinations. inspection. There is an opinion that the inspection is a formality. In fact, on it from the A-1 fitness category they can be transferred to A-2 and the conscript will no longer be sent to the landing force, but they will easily be taken to the infantry. It happens that the commission doubts the suitability of the conscript and sends him for additional examination. The probability of this is 0.2%.

All doctors in the medical commission are civilians. Half of them are permanently in the state, half are attracted from local medical institutions for the duration of the call.

As a rule, the conscript arrives at the assembly point and departs to the unit during the day. But some stay on it up to 3 days. For example, when sending to distant regions is formed. Therefore, all conditions for life are created at the assembly point.

Military registration and enlistment offices try to send to serve at the place of residence. But, since the Western Military District is the most densely populated, and military units are scattered throughout the country, those who have the good reasons(single mother, pregnant wife, etc.).

A buyer comes from each military unit for conscripts.

The buyer looks at the contingent provided to him by the military registration and enlistment office, conducts a psychological conversation with him and, in case of an unsatisfactory result, may ask to replace the conscript.

By tradition, over the past few years, all conscripts receive military uniform in the military office.

There is a lot of controversy about the merits and demerits of the new form. As I was told that those who are dissatisfied new form They just don't know how to wear it.

The conscript's civilian clothes are not thrown away. It can be sent home at the expense of the Department of Defense.

From the military enlistment office we go to the military unit in Sertolovo (Leningrad region).

There is a training unit in Sertolovo, where young soldiers will receive military specialties for 3 months, so that later they can continue serving in other units.

In terms of recruits, the commander immediately meets and checks personal belongings.

For hygiene purposes, socks are replaced with footcloths. Winter items of ammunition are deposited.

Under the guidance of sergeants, recruits fill out medical books and write their first letters home. In general, writing letters home is a regular obligatory business, because. some soldiers forget about it, and at home they worry.

According to the old army tradition, the conditionally old-timer passes on army experience to the young replenishment.

While the conscripts are getting acquainted with army life, the commanders decide who to teach for what specialty. Someone on the tank driver, someone on the sniper. It depends on many factors - civilian specialty, education, psychological predisposition, etc.

Many conscripts, having fallen behind the wide gates of the military registration and enlistment offices, begin to quietly panic and mask their unrest with feigned bravado, underlined by a drunken look, which creates a very negative impression about the future fighter. Few know that buyers in the army(this is the name of the officers who will accompany the young people selected in the military registration and enlistment office to their unit) conduct an initial psychological examination behind the scenes - military specialists have a trained eye, and some conclusions can be drawn from ordinary observations of the behavior of young men. If you want to get into serious units, then in no case repeat the mistakes listed above - be yourself. Let the unusual situation press, but the officers must see your true face. A small reprieve from the army can also cause some chuckles, envy, inappropriate jokes from drunken conscripts - it is important to know about this only to the military registration and enlistment office. Remember, from the moment you are enrolled in the dispatch team, the Ministry of Defense is responsible for you, and from that start military service no one has the right to humiliate your dignity - neither officers, nor sergeants, nor conscripts.

The beginning of service is the most difficult and defining period of service in the army. How you show yourself in the first weeks of service is how it will pass for you. Remember this.

When determining the place of service before the summons to the draft board, for sending (this often happens - these are sports companies, elite troops, guards, special forces), it is also undesirable to stand out among peers, this can give impetus to unforeseen conflicts. It must be realized that the start of military service is a step to adult life where you have to be responsible for your actions. In addition, excessive talkativeness can forever put an end to your "elite" service. Do not be surprised if instead of the promised black uniform of a marine you get a construction battalion robe - your overly chatty tongue will lead to this. and because of him young fighter course you won't be in the right place.

Buyers choose fighters immediately

Usually, army buyers, even before the meeting in the hall, they select applicants for the service, looking closely at the youngsters on the street. If you want to be selected for combat units, talk less and be silent more, even if you have drunk too much. The environment of imaginary "comrades-in-arms" from among the conscripts of your city or district should not affect your own point of view, since the army begins with the gate of the unit, not the military registration and enlistment office, and KMB you will pass exactly in parts. Do not get involved in quarrels and do not provoke conflicts in the military registration and enlistment office - the service will put everyone in their places. No matter how loud the statements of the unspoken leaders of one conscription are, they, like all conscripts, will go through their course as a young fighter.

Talk less, work more

In the part, you should mention less often that your deferment from the army was obtained illegally - you risk falling under criminal liability and pull your loved ones with you. Having crossed your Rubicon, the gate of the part, get ready for the fact that your life will now be completely different. Leave behind the gate the habit of speaking if you didn’t ask, and pretending to be someone you are not - you will fall into the category of hypocrites, from among whom “victims of hazing” are later obtained. Remember KMB- this is an opportunity to finally form your masculine essence, cleanse your character from bad habits and understand that life is not always easy.

How conscripts serve in the modern Russian army, an interview with a soldier

Definition of the type of troops
The type of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and bodies is determined on the basis of a study of citizens who are not in the reserve. They study all citizens liable for military service for conscription and rational distribution of them by types, branches of the Armed Forces, other troops, military formations and bodies (clause 22 of the Instruction, approved by Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated 02.10.2007 N 400).

The study of citizens who are not in the reserve is carried out in two stages (clause 25 of the Instruction).
The first stage is the study of all citizens who, according to the results of the initial registration for military registration, are fit for military service or fit for military service with minor restrictions. The study is carried out from the moment of initial military registration until the moment when citizens reach the age of 18 years.
The second stage is the study of citizens who, according to the results of the first stage of the study, are subject to conscription for military service and do not have the right to exemption from military duty and conscription, to a deferment from conscription. This stage is carried out during the preparation and conduct of activities related to their conscription for military service (after citizens reach the age of 18 years).

Citizens are studied by accumulating and systematizing information about their state of health and physical development, psychological and moral and business qualities, education, training, marital status.

In the course of the study, documents containing information about a citizen are analyzed, including those received from organizations where he works (studies), from medical institutions, internal affairs bodies, bodies of inquiry, bodies of preliminary investigation and federal courts, civil registry offices, public organizations in which citizens are trained for military service, from organizations that operate residential premises, and educational institutions in which citizens are trained in military specialties.

Individual conversations are also held with a citizen, his parents (other legal representatives), teachers educational institution in which he works or studies (clause 24 of the Instruction).
In addition, when studying citizens, the training they received in military-patriotic youth and children's associations is also taken into account (clause 2, article 14, article 15 of the Law of 03.28.1998 N 53-FZ).
The military commissar, based on the results of the first stage of studying citizens, preliminarily determines the type of troops where a citizen can be sent for military service by conscription (clause 14 of the Instruction).
Based on the results of the second stage, the military commissar draws up a sheet for studying the conscript, in which a conclusion is made on his preliminary appointment to a certain branch of the Armed Forces (clauses 27, 28 of the Instruction).
During conscription for military service, citizens are subjected to professional psychological selection (testing). Based on the assessment of psychological qualities and taking into account the education and professional readiness of recruits, a specialist in professional psychological selection (an employee of the military commissariat department) makes a conclusion on the advisability of distributing them according to the arms of the Armed Forces (paragraph 37 of the Instruction).
When making a decision on conscription, the conscription commission reasonably determines the type of troops of the Armed Forces where the citizen will be sent for military service (paragraph 51 of the Instruction).

Determination of the place of military service

The specific place of military service is determined at the city assembly point by the draft commission of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation when sending a citizen to the Armed Forces.

Conscripts with children, as well as sick and elderly parents (women - over 55 years old, men - over 60 years old), but who do not have the right to deferment from conscription for military service, if possible, are sent for military service to the military units of the Armed Forces , other troops, military formations and bodies stationed near their place of residence, within the established norms for conscripting citizens into military service for the relevant municipalities. At the same time, a citizen must submit documents confirming these circumstances to the draft commission (clause 38 of the Instruction).
Citizens have no other grounds for choosing a place of military service.
