What is military contract service? This is a military activity in the armed forces, carried out on a voluntary basis, when a citizen who wants to serve, signs a contract for a certain period. Service under the contract has certain conditions for military personnel and implies the presence of a stable salary, a social package, all kinds of benefits, monetary compensation, and incentives.
We will dwell in detail on the important details of contract service in 2020 and will tell in this publication about the benefits of contract service in the RF Armed Forces and the requirements for contract servicemen.
Requirements and conditions for military service under contract
The conditions under which a citizen concludes a contract and subsequently enters voluntary military service are fixed at the legislative level. All requirements for contractors are regulated by the following regulatory documents:
- Chapter V of the Law "On military service"(FZ No. 53 of March 28, 1998).
- Special rules of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
In accordance with these legislative acts, a number of mandatory requirements are imposed on citizens who enter voluntary contract service in the army:
- Citizen's age. If the first contract is concluded, then a citizen of the Russian Federation must be at least 18 years old and not older than 40 years old.
- Education. Citizens with an education ranging from secondary and above are accepted.
- Person categories. Citizens who have previously completed military service - contract or conscription are allowed to undergo contract service; citizens who are "in reserve"; women, and other categories of citizens (read complete list persons who may be allowed to serve under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, can be in the Federal Law "On military duty and military service" Art. 34).
- Health status. Persons who have passed the military medical commission and are assigned to one of the groups "A" (a person is "fit" for military service) and groups "B" (a person is fit for military service with minor restrictions) are allowed to serve under the contract.
- Level physical training . It must comply with the standards prescribed in the NFP-2009. The physical training of a contract soldier is evaluated by such qualities as speed, endurance, strength. In order to assess the listed parameters, a citizen entering the contract service must perform one exercise for each of them for verification.
- Fitness Restrictions. During the selection of candidates for contract service, cases of citizens who have received an opinion on the assignment of the following categories will be considered:
- I. This category is assigned to citizens who are "recommended in the first place";
- II. This category means that citizens are "recommended";
- III. Means that the citizen is "conditionally recommended". In the absence of the first two categories.
How to become a contract soldier in the Russian Armed Forces?
If you've made up your mind enlist in the military under contract, then the first thing you need to do is to come to the local selection point for contract soldiers for detailed advice on entering the contract military service and the conditions for its passage. For the applied citizen, vacancies of military positions for which he can apply will be presented, and a corresponding recommendation will be drawn up for submission to the military commissariat.
After that, a citizen applying for a place as a contract soldier must apply with a passport to the local department of the military commissariat and submit an application there, which will be considered by the military commissar. Next, events will be scheduled, the task of which is to determine the health status of the applicant and the level of his physical fitness. After these two stages are completed, the final decision is made on whether it is possible to accept a given citizen for military service under a contract.
If all checks and tests are successfully passed by a citizen, then a military ID will be issued to him, after which a contract for military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be concluded. Then he is sent to the military training unit, where he will undergo an intensive course of combined arms training. During the study period command staff will observe the newly minted contract soldier, study his professional, personal, physical qualities. His propensity for leadership will also be analyzed (required for sergeant positions). After training course is passed, the contract soldier is sent to the main place where he will serve in the armed forces.
Contract service - contractor salary in 2020
For the current year, there are two main legislative documents, which establish the amount and types of monetary allowance due to contract servicemen in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation:
- Federal Law No. 306-FZ of 07.11.2011 "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them."
- Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05.12.2011 N 992 "On the establishment of salaries for the monetary maintenance of military personnel undergoing military service under the contract."
The basic salary of military personnel under the contract, according to the mentioned laws, consists of two parts:

- Salary according to military rank.
To the basic monetary allowance of a contract soldier in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, various allowances are added monthly for:
- Qualification.

- 30,000 rubles is the average salary of an ordinary contract soldier.
- 40,000 rubles - the average salary of sergeants and foremen.

The salary of military personnel in 2020 in Russia will increase only in the fall from October 1, 2020. This was the case last year, and it is planned to do so in the future. It is already planned that the indexation of the monetary allowance of military personnel under the contract will be carried out in the future: in 2021 - from October 1 by 4%; in 2022 - from October 1 by 3.8%. This increase will primarily affect contract servicemen - salaries for military positions and salaries for military ranks military personnel serving on a contract basis. But even conscripts regularly increase salaries.
In addition to monetary allowances, various benefits and material compensations have been established for contractors. These include:
- Compensation for renting housing (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 18, 2015 No. 989 “On Amendments to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 31, 2004 No. 909”). This payment allows the military to partially reimburse the cost of renting housing if the service apartment was not provided. Cash compensation is paid in accordance with the established standards for the region (for example, for the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg - this is 15,000 rubles as of 2020);
- "Lifting allowance" - a monetary allowance to a serviceman when moving to a new place of service, the lifting allowance is paid not only for a contract soldier, but also for all family members;
- A one-time allowance upon dismissal from military service is paid upon dismissal with a total length of service of 20 years or more in the amount of 7 salaries of monetary allowance (with a length of service of less than 20 years, a contractor receives 2 salaries upon dismissal).
Social package for military personnel under contract
It is worth noting that the state has provided a wide package of social benefits for contract servicemen:
- Free medical care in military hospitals.

Substantial insurance payments to the family in case of death (the family will receive insurance in the amount of 3 million rubles).

Pros and cons of contract service in the armed forces
The contract army in Russia is a relatively new phenomenon, and before entering the military service under a contract, you should know what the pros and cons await you.
Let's focus on the positives:
- For many citizens, contract service in the army is a very profitable employment, especially in remote towns and villages where it is difficult to find work.
- Contract servicemen have a serious social package, which includes numerous benefits. In addition to status, contract service in the army provides a good stable salary and the opportunity to get housing.
- Modern service under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be compared with regular work, in contrast to conscripts who have a number of restrictions.
Speaking about the pros of contract service, one cannot help but recall the cons:
- The obvious disadvantage of military service under a contract is the need to risk both one's health and life.
- Limitation of personal space and freedom. Not every person is ready to obey orders and unconditionally comply with the requirements of the command, simply speaking, life according to the charter is not a sanatorium.
- Not everyone can withstand the conditions of service in the army, for example, statistics show that almost 20% of those who first signed a contract break it after a few months of service. Everyone has their own reasons for this, however, most often this decision is due to the fact that the rookie contract soldier did not cope with the probationary period. Sometimes among possible causes breaking contact on the part of the Ministry of Defense may be the abuse of alcohol by newly minted servicemen, drunkenness has no place in the army!
- Not everyone likes forced business trips, the need to constantly wear uniforms, living in the field if necessary.
Summing up, it can be noted that the transition of the Russian army to contract service is a new promising solution that can raise the prestige of the Armed Forces, as well as ensure the fulfillment of the tasks facing the army, both in peacetime and in case of war. The contract service guarantees a stable, decent salary for contract servicemen, and also offers a number of benefits and privileges.
Nevertheless, before making a final decision, carefully consider all the pros and cons of military service under the contract, you must understand the degree of responsibility both for your life, for the life of your comrades, and for the life of those you protect by serving in the Russian Army. Of course, contract service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is a prestigious and noble cause.
