Letter No. а6-1082 of March 18, 2003, No. а6-1082, issued by the Main State Legal Department of the President of the Russian Federation "On the issue of concluding contracts for military service with military personnel who have reached the age limit for military service", provides the following clarifications.

The procedure for concluding a new contract with military personnel, including those with military ranks of senior officers, as well as those appointed to military positions for which the state provides for military ranks of senior officers, who have reached the age limit for military service and who have expressed a desire to continue military service, is determined by Art. 49 of the Federal Law "On military service and military service" and Article 10 of the Regulations on the procedure for military service, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "Issues of military service" dated September 16, 1999 N 1237.

Decisions on the conclusion of contracts with senior officers, as well as officers appointed to military positions for which the state provides for the military ranks of senior officers who have reached the age limit for military service, on the term of a new contract or on the refusal to conclude a contract are made by the President of the Russian Federation.

The specified military personnel who have reached (reaching) the age limit for military service, for the conclusion of a new contract, submit a report on command with an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation on the decision to conclude a contract with them, at least six months before the expiration of the current contract.

If the President of the Russian Federation decides to conclude a contract with these military personnel and its validity period, the specified contract is signed by the commander (chief), who is granted the right to sign new contracts.

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 38 of the said Federal Law, the period of military service for servicemen undergoing military service under a contract is determined by the period specified in the contract for military service. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 3 of the Regulations on the procedure for passing military service, the term of military service expires for military personnel undergoing military service under a contract on the corresponding month and date last year term of the contract or on the corresponding day of the last month of the term of the contract, if the contract was concluded for a period of up to one year.

Based on this requirement, paragraph 7 of Art. 9 of the Regulations on the procedure for passing military service, it is determined that with a serviceman whose term of the previous contract ends, a new contract is concluded on the day following the day the term of the previous contract expires.

Thus, according to general rule the report and materials on the conclusion of a new contract with military personnel must be received by the President of the Russian Federation in such a way that the conclusion of a new contract in accordance with the order of the President of the Russian Federation is carried out by the relevant official on the day following the expiration date of the previous contract.

However, in a number of cases, the order of the President of the Russian Federation on the conclusion of a contract with a serviceman who has reached the age limit for military service is issued later than the expiration of the term of the previous contract for this serviceman. In these cases, when concluding a new contract with a serviceman, it is necessary to be guided by paragraph 4 of Art. 32 of the Federal Law "On military service and military service", in accordance with which the contract for the passage of military service terminates from the day the serviceman concludes another contract for the passage of military service, the exclusion of the serviceman from the lists of the military unit, and also in other cases established by federal laws.

Based on the provisions of paragraph 4 of Art. 32, art. 49 of the Federal Law "On Conscription of Military Service" and Art. 10 of the Regulations on the Procedure for Passing Military Service, a contract with a serviceman in these cases should be concluded not from the date of expiration of the previous contract, but from the date of entry into force of the relevant order of the President of the Russian Federation.

The legal framework that determines the age limit for military service

Features of service in the country's troops are regulated by the law "On military duty and military service" dated March 28, 1998 No. 53-FZ. Art. 49 of this normative act is called the "Age Limit for Military Service" and contains the exact figures for the maximum age for military positions.

In addition, legal norms relating to the restriction of stay in the ranks of the armed forces are available in the Regulation on the procedure for performing military service, which was approved by the President of Russia on September 16, 1999 by his decree No. 1237.

The mentioned provision, among other things, coordinates the issues of signing contracts with military personnel and, in particular, the nuances of signing such an agreement with personnel who have reached the age limit for military service.

Age restrictions in the armed forces

Legislators put the age limit for military service in interdependence with the rank to which a citizen managed to rise. In 2014, this age for the entire staff was increased by 5 years, but the officer's right to retire from the military ranks before his onset remained untouched. So Art. 49 of Law No. 53-FZ provides for the following age limit:

65 years for marshal ranks, army generals, fleet admiralty, colonel generals, admirals;
60 years for lieutenant general, vice admiral, major general and rear admiral ranks;
55 years for colonel ranks and captains of the 1st rank;
50 years for other army ranks.

For women serving in the armed forces, a generalized age limit for military service has been introduced, which is not determined by rank and is 45 years.

For military personnel serving in bodies (the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, and the like), special laws may establish other age limits.

The age of the military reserve has also been increased. If necessary, it is now possible to call up privates and ensigns to the army up to 35, 45 and 50 years old, depending on the military specialty. The lower officers of the reserve can be called up to 50, 55 and 60 years. Reserves in the rank of major, lieutenant colonels and captains of the 2nd and 3rd ranks are called up to 55, 60 and 65 years, depending on the rank. Colonels and captains of the 1st rank are called up to 60 and 65 years old, and the highest officer reserve up to 65 and 70 years old. Female reserve servicemen in the officer rank are called up to 50 years old, and the remaining ones - up to 45 years old.

In addition, if a serviceman has approached the age limit for military service, a fresh contract can still be signed with him:

with marshals of the Russian Federation, army generals, fleet admirals, colonel generals, admirals - up to 70 years;
with military personnel in other ranks - up to 65 years.

Download contract form

If a serviceman has reached the age limit for military service, this is not grounds for dismissal. When ready to serve further, a contract can be signed with him again for a year, as well as for 3, 5, 10 years.

In this situation, the resolution on the execution of an updated contract with personnel and the term of this contract is made by the following officials:

With regard to higher officers and equivalent positions - the Supreme Commander of the country.
With regard to colonels, captains of the 1st rank and equivalent positions - commanding staff the federal executive body of the region in which the service is supposed to be carried out.
With regard to military personnel in lieutenant colonel and captain ranks of the 2nd rank and below, the decision is made by those officials who have the right to appoint the listed military personnel to their positions.

A positive resolution on the execution of an updated contract with an age-old serviceman is adopted taking into account not only his practical qualities, but also his state of health. For clarification physical condition the candidate can be sent for certification by the military medical commission. The opinion of doctors on the state of health of a serviceman must be submitted to the person responsible for making a decision on signing the contract no later than 4 months before the end of the term of service of the candidate in question.
