How to become a military man in Russia? How can a girl enlist in the Russian Army? What are the pros and cons of military service? Who absolutely should not go to the military? And which military universities are considered prestigious?
Military education
There are several ways to become a soldier in our country. The shortest and most promising educational trajectory begins with cadet corps, in which children enter from the age of 10. It is worth going to a cadet school when parents and the child are confident in their future military career. After the 4th grade of elementary school, the road to Suvorov, Nakhimov and other prestigious military schools is open to children. Cadet schools differ from general education schools by increased requirements for applicants: children take entrance exams, and competitive selection can be very serious due to the large number of applicants. Unlike a general education school, in the cadet corps much attention is paid to the daily routine, discipline, physical fitness and moral and volitional qualities of students. It is believed that the level of knowledge among the cadets is higher due to military discipline and motivation.
Part military schools(Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and other SVU) accept students after grade 9. Cadets receive secondary vocational military education, which includes not only the general program, physical training, but also military training.
Education in cadet corps and military schools is provided by the state: accommodation, study and even travel of students are paid by the Ministry of Defense. Graduates of cadet schools and colleges have a priority right when entering military universities.
Russian military universities train specialists of military professions in the following areas:
✔ Application and operation of means and systems of special monitoring 11.05.03
✔ Logistic support 56.05.01
✔ Radiation, chemical and biological protection 56.05.02
✔ Service-applied physical training 56.05.03
✔ Personnel management (Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and equivalent bodies of the Russian Federation) 56.05.04
✔ Border activities 57.05.01
✔ And others
When entering a higher military educational institution, not only knowledge in specialized subjects (USE scores) is important, but also psychological stability, a “clean history” (no criminal record), and a high level of physical fitness.
Top 5 military universities
Most of the prestigious military academies are located in Moscow and St. Petersburg. If you decide to devote yourself to serving the Motherland, then it makes sense to enter the best universities:
1. Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces (Moscow)
2. Naval Academy (St. Petersburg)
3. Air Force Academy named after the first cosmonaut Gagarin (Moscow)
4. Mikhailovskaya Artillery Academy (St. Petersburg)
5. Academy of the FSB of the Russian Federation (Moscow)
How can a girl join the military?
Military education and contract service are available to both boys and girls. Officially, there are no restrictions for women in military service. But, frankly, it is difficult for women to get into many military specialties; only enthusiasm and a great desire to serve the Motherland will help.
Most often, girls master medical professions - they become nurses or military doctors of various profiles. Including girls can be found in the supply and among military signalmen - qualified IT specialists are in demand in the Army. And if in foreign armies girls have long served on an equal footing with men, then in our country there are still no "male" specialties (pilots, tankers, paratroopers).
Pros and cons of military service
The profession of a soldier has always been regarded as prestigious and respected in society. In many families, the tradition of devoting oneself to military affairs goes back 3-4 generations. However, there are both positives and negatives to the military profession. Before entering a military educational institution, it is necessary to make a conscious choice and weigh all the "pros" and "cons" for yourself personally.
Disadvantages of being a military man:
✔
Life risk. The military does not belong to himself, he serves the Motherland. It is not every day that military personnel risk their lives, and not all specialties are associated with a real danger, but if the command orders to fly to a hot spot on the planet, then the military must be ready for this both physically and psychologically.
✔
Domestic difficulties. Life in garrisons and military camps cannot be called comfortable. The understandable hardships of camp life can also be superimposed on disorder in peacetime. A military man can be "transferred" to different regions of the country, and if a soldier has a family, then getting an apartment and "settling down" is far from easy.
✔
Harm to health. Constant stress, injury risk and lack of living conditions - that's what awaits the military at the forefront.
✔
Rigid subordination requirements. Orders issued by a superior in rank are not discussed, even if they do not seem reasonable. And if you, by nature, cannot obey a senior in rank, then military service will not suit you - for it you need to have willpower and self-control.
✔
Dependence on the state. The military has many benefits, but since military personnel belong to the category of "state employees", during periods of crisis it is they who have a harder time than representatives of other professions.
- ✔
Profession prestige. The military is one of the oldest, traditionally honorary professions. Awareness of the benefits that a person brings to the country and its citizens helps a lot to cope with the hardships of military life.
✔ Clear career growth. Promotion depends not so much on personal qualities as on length of service - the time of service.
✔ Social package. Tuition and living expenses, government benefits, military mortgages and many other benefits are available to military personnel. The state fully provides the military from the moment of admission to an educational institution. The financial allowance of a university student is much higher than a student's scholarship at a civilian university.
✔ Guaranteed employment. Graduates of military universities, unlike civilian ones, do not have further problems with employment.
✔ Opportunities for professional development and training. In the Armed Forces, additional training is encouraged, so a specialist can receive both a second and a third higher education at the expense of the state.
✔ Early and decent retirement. For certain military specialties, 1 year of service counts as 2 or even 3. Therefore, it is quite possible to become a pensioner at the age of 40. After retirement, the life of a military man is just beginning, you can open your own business or go to work in the civil service and at the same time receive a military pension.
Congratulations to all the defenders of the Motherland and those who plan to become one!

On the third Sunday of June, Russia celebrates Medical Worker Day. On the eve of the professional holiday of doctors, our correspondent visited the Kirov Military Medical Academy, where he learned why the Russian army needs a robot nurse, how future military surgeons learn not to be afraid of blood with the help of crying dummies, and what the future of Russian military medicine is.
Without exaggeration, the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov can be called a unique institution of higher education. Only here doctors are trained for the Russian Armed Forces. Seven faculties, 63 departments and about 30 clinics attached to them - a potential that many civilian medical universities will envy.
Unlike civilian institutions, the academy pays great attention to military extreme medicine classes. Along with the study of generally accepted medical disciplines, students comprehend work in the field, conduct military medical exercises and train in the army. The faculties where military doctors study are divided according to the types of the Armed Forces.
Future specialists of the medical units of the Air Force study in depth the problems associated with the impact on the human body of multiple overloads and lack of oxygen at high altitudes. Also at the faculty they teach the methodology of special control over the health of pilots and the system of their medical examination.
The faculty for training doctors for the Strategic Missile Forces and the Ground Forces trains specialists in a wide range of issues. As a rule, its graduates become doctors of a military unit and they are responsible not only for providing medical care, but also for the sanitary and epidemiological state of the unit, as well as for disease prevention. Combat training is also indispensable without a military doctor - firing, marches, field exits are always under his control.
The Naval Faculty has its own specifics. Here, special attention is paid to the impact of deep-sea diving and high air pressure on the health of submariners: a doctor on a submarine must be able to provide assistance in case of decompression sickness and in case of emergencies associated with sudden pressure drops.
In addition, all graduates of the naval faculty receive the qualification of a surgeon. A ship's doctor, both on a submarine and on a surface ship, on long voyages often works alone and therefore must be able to carry out operations on board. As a rule, this is suturing wounds, removing an inflamed appendix or opening an abscess.
Science to heal
The training of students of the Military Medical Academy is built in accordance with the state standard, but the educational process of military doctors has a number of advantages compared to their civilian counterparts. First of all, this is an opportunity to study "at the bedside of the patient." As mentioned above, the departments of VmedA have their own clinics. They simultaneously work for the medical support of servicemen and their families and for the practical training of students.
These clinics are equipped with the most modern medical equipment, and future military doctors have the opportunity to get acquainted with it already in the process of studying. At the same time, students of civilian universities sometimes encounter complex equipment only after graduation.
Another innovation of the Military Medical Academy is the Simulation Training Center. Robotic mannequins stuffed with sensors depict various injuries and injuries. A special computer program, controlled by a teacher, displays changes in the work of the “organism” on diagnostic monitors. If the listener makes mistakes, then the "patient" begins to scream in pain, die, and even splash red paint from the damaged "limbs".
As Deputy Head of the Academy for Educational and Scientific Work, Major-General of the Medical Service, Professor Bogdan Kotiv, told the Defend Russia correspondent, the use of interactive simulators facilitates the preparation of the student for practical medical work.
In addition to mannequins, the classes also use models of individual parts of the human body, which are covered with specially dressed pigskin, and also imitate the entire structure of the soft tissues underneath. On them, students practice a variety of skills - from intramuscular and intravenous injections to suturing and removing sutures.
“Previously, it took a certain amount of time to adapt, not to be afraid to work with tissues and to understand the limits of human pain sensations,” Professor Kotiv noted, “But it is safe and comfortable to do this on simulators. The listener can repeat this many times. This is a promising teaching method, because repeated repetition without the risk of harming a living person allows you to consolidate skills well.”
Working with simulators is also one of the stages in the psychological preparation of a future doctor. In general, the process of its maturation has a complex multi-stage character. At first, the sight of blood, dead or living tissue causes emotional shock or fear in a person. They defeat it through systematic studies, in which the listener gradually gets acquainted with the structure of the human body, studies the normal and pathological processes in the body.
Then the trainees receive primary skills in resuscitation, surgery, dressings, anesthesia. At a certain moment, all this complex of knowledge and skills forms in the listener a calm perception of a patient who is in serious condition. After the third year of study, Bogdan Kotiv emphasized, the student is already able to provide medical care at a fairly serious level.
Diagnosis "Warrior"
Along with studies at the Military Medical Academy, intensive scientific work is carried out. ZR talked about some of the implemented scientific projects with the head of the department for the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel and the organization of research work, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Colonel of the Medical Service Yevgeny Ivchenko.
For example, the Military Medical Academy continues to develop a mobile dental office designed to be transferred to remote and hard-to-reach military units. The medical units of the Russian army have already received one such office based on a KAMAZ truck with a trailer, but its trial operation revealed a number of shortcomings that were taken into account when building other dental complexes. In the near future, four modernized offices will be transferred to supply the troops.
Another development of the scientific team of the academy is individual first-aid kits of a new type. Unlike the well-known first-aid kits AI-2 and AI-4, which contained anti-chemical and anti-radiation drugs, the new kits contain hemostatic and dressing agents. It also includes a new anti-shock drug ibuprenorphine, which replaced the outdated anesthetic promedol, which caused respiratory depression in the wounded.
As for promising areas, today the academy is developing an automated system for remote assessment of the health status of servicemen. An electronic module integrated into the "" combat equipment set, using several sensors, will measure the body temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate of a fighter, and based on these measurements, issue an answer about his state of health.
It is also planned to equip this module with a geopositioning system and connect it to the Sagittarius digital intelligence, control and communications complex (commander tablet), which is also part of the Ratnik. At the same time, a tablet for the head of the medical service is being developed. On its screen, servicemen will be marked with dots, the color scheme of which will signal their condition on a scale of “healthy-wounded-killed”. Looking at them, a military medic will decide where to send a brigade of orderlies.
In the future, the device for monitoring the state of a serviceman will be improved to the possibility of assessing the psycho-physiological state of a person on the battlefield. This system will allow the commander to decide which of his subordinates is most suitable for a particular task in combat.
As for today's medical research, the scientists of the academy have made several interesting discoveries in the field of treatment of traumatic brain injuries of a contusion nature. Yevgeny Ivchenko noted that the data obtained are the know-how of Russian military doctors, so he declined to comment further on this matter.
Rush job
Together with the personnel of the academy, conscripts in the recently created scientific company in the Navy are also engaged in research. It includes three platoons: biopharmaceutical, medical and preventive and engineering. The first one is staffed by graduates of civilian medical schools, who are now dealing with wound ballistics. Using ballistic soap and gel, they simulate damage to soft and hard tissues. Subsequently, the results of model calculations will be included in the development of the state standard for assessing post-armor contusion injury.
“This is a very important area, which, apart from the Military Medical Academy, no one is engaged in,” Yevgeny Ivchenko emphasized, “In some cases, the severity of damage when a bullet hits a bulletproof vest can be greater than if this bullet had passed through.”
The medical-prophylactic platoon, together with the staff of the Department of General and Military Hygiene, participates in the research of the Ratnik combat equipment set. Among the scientific and practical questions - how long can you keep a walkie-talkie headset in your ear so that a bedsore does not form, how do soft tissues feel in the underbelly space, etc.
The engineering and technical platoon developed and presented at the forum "" the concept of a robot delivering medicines to the patient's bedside. According to the project, the attending physician will make prescriptions to the patient through a computer, the drug terminal will sort the necessary drugs into containers, and the robot will pick them up and deliver them to the wards. Also, the engineers of the scientific company plan to develop a cleaning robot. Of course, this technique will not replace the work of junior medical staff, but it will greatly facilitate their work. In a combat situation, when each pair of hands is needed to receive the wounded, such robots will be in great demand.
The future of military medicine
One of the promising areas will be further work on the psycho-physiological support of military personnel, in particular, remote assessment of their condition. This is due to the fact that today many positions have appeared in the Armed Forces in which military personnel work with complex computerized equipment, however, from the point of view of their medical support, by and large, no recommendations have been developed today. Work will also be launched on the issues of the stay of our military formations in various climatic conditions, including extreme ones. For example, specialists will study the possibilities of safe consumption by Russian military personnel of animals and plants living in different regions of the world.
Specialists of the Military Medical Academy call telemedicine one of the main directions in the development of military medicine, when a doctor on a monitor screen can not only look at a patient, but also see his electrocardiogram, ultrasound results or x-rays. In the distant future, when science invents ultra-reliable communication channels, military doctors will remotely perform surgical operations using a robot. But this is still a long way off.
The popularity of the military profession is growing. This is due to a stable income, preferential pension and social guarantees.
Despite this, military universities are not as widely known as civilian ones.
The choice of a university for future officers depends on which troops the graduate will then serve in.
In total, there are 75 military schools and academies in Russia.
Each branch of the armed forces has its own specialized higher educational institutions.
- missile troops specialists are trained at the Academy of Strategic Forces. The Academy is located in Moscow and is known for its excellent teaching staff;
- future officers of the navy are studying at the academy of the fleet. It is located in St. Petersburg;
- if you decide to link your career and life with the air force, then you need to enter the air force academy. The university is located in Moscow;
- graduates of the artillery academy will receive an excellent military education. Its location is St. Petersburg;
- future border guards and officers of other units of the security service are trained at the departmental academy;
- the only specialized university for officers of the Russian Space Forces is the Space Academy;
- Airborne officers study at the legendary Ryazan School, which has many famous graduates. It is located in Ryazan;
Each of the listed universities has qualified teachers, among whom there are many doctors of sciences, authors of famous scientific works.
The quality of education in any specialized university is at the highest level.
All this guarantees a decent education.
Education in military universities is also good because at the end, the graduate is guaranteed employment.
How much to study for the military
Upon receipt of higher education, the total period of study is 5 years.
In the case of secondary vocational education, training takes 2 years 10 months.
During the period of study at a command university, the student receives a serious scholarship in the amount of 15 to 25 thousand rubles, provided with uniforms.
Enrollment in universities, the passage of the competition is carried out on the basis of the results of the exam. At the same time, attention is drawn to strictly defined disciplines.
For example, for admission to military-humanitarian faculties, results in the Russian language, history, and social science are important.
For medical faculties, knowledge in biology and chemistry is decisive.
At the same time, it must be remembered that the physical condition of the applicant is fundamentally important.
Only persons fit for military service who have completed 11 classes of a general education school can enter military universities.
Submission of documents for admission is carried out through the territorial military commissariats.
Where to study for a military doctor
The profession of a military doctor is considered the most prestigious. Such education can be obtained in several universities of the capital and St. Petersburg.
All medical military academies have several faculties:
- leading medical staff;
- training doctors for certain branches of the ground forces;
- training doctors for the air force;
- training doctors for the fleet;
Some universities also have faculties for training doctors of foreign armies. The presence of such a faculty serves as another confirmation of the highest level of education received at the academy.
In general, military medical education is one of the best, if not the best, medical education.
Where to study to be a military lawyer
The question of where to study as a military lawyer is a little easier.
The fact is that anyone who has a civil higher legal education can become a military lawyer. It is only necessary to meet the physical requirements.
Also, a soldier who has received a law degree in a civilian university can reprofil and become a military lawyer.
However, there are specialized universities that graduate workers for educational and political work. Such universities are multidisciplinary educational institutions.
There are training in various specialties:
- lawyer,
- military journalist,
- sociologist,
- military psychologist.
These are all civilian professions, however, the training focuses on the military specifics of these professions.
The order of admission and training is not fundamentally different from training in other military universities.
Military doctors or, as they were also called, military doctors are military personnel with a higher medical education and having the appropriate rank. At one time, it was Russian military doctors who made a huge contribution to military medicine, so Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov became the founder of military field surgery, the founder of anesthesia. During the Great Patriotic War, as well as during local conflicts of our time: the war in Afghanistan and the Chechen campaigns, Russian military doctors saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
On June 13, 2013, the next, 13th award ceremony for the best doctors in Russia called "Vocation" took place at the Central Academic Theater of the Russian Army. This ceremony was hosted by People's Artist of Russia Alexander Rosenbaum and well-known TV presenter Elena Malysheva. At the ceremony in the nomination “Military doctors. Special Prize for Doctors Providing Assistance to Victims During Wars, Terrorist Acts and Natural Disasters” the award went to a group of military doctors of the RF Ministry of Defense, who during the counter-terrorist operation of 1994-1995 on the territory of Chechnya provided the necessary medical assistance to the injured and wounded.
The award to military doctors was personally presented by the Minister of Defense of Russia, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu. In his welcoming speech, Shoigu noted the importance of the work of military doctors, and also expressed gratitude and gratitude to them for their selfless work not only during the conduct of hostilities, but also in peaceful, everyday life. On the stage, the nominees were thanked by Russian officers Alexei Buzdygar and Sergei Muzyakov, who in 1995 themselves went through the caring hands of decorated military doctors.
A group of military doctors, consisting of the head of the hospital, Oleg Popov, as well as surgeons Alexander Drakin, Mikhail Lysenko, and the therapist Alexander Kudryashov, as part of the 696th Special Purpose Medical Detachment, in December 1994, had to deploy their military field hospital near the city of Mozdok. In those days, military doctors worked 16-18 hours a day, operations went one after another without interruption. Every day, the personnel of the field hospital prepared hundreds of wounded Russian soldiers and officers for evacuation and sending to the “mainland”. For the entire period of military operations in the Caucasus, military doctors have saved thousands of lives of Russian servicemen.
The fate of Dr. Oleg Popov and his colleagues is in many ways indicative and serves as an example of heroism and selflessness, devotion to duty. Oleg Aleksandrovich Popov went through the entire first war in Chechnya, as they say, “from start to finish”, being appointed in 1993 as commander of the 696th special forces medical detachment. It was the doctors of this detachment who promptly set up a hospital in Mozdok, where almost every third soldier wounded in Chechnya was able to receive timely treatment. For his excellent service in the North Caucasus, Oleg Aleksandrovich was awarded the Order of Military Merit. But these are not his only military awards, the military doctor received the previous 4 military orders while providing medical assistance to Soviet soldiers and officers during the Afghan war.
In March 1996, Oleg Popov was dismissed from the ranks of the Armed Forces: a severe shell shock, which he received during the Afghan campaign, worsened in Chechnya, and his state of health no longer allowed him to perform the duties of a military physician in the same rhythm. After his dismissal from the Russian army, Oleg Popov, the only medical officer in the entire Armed Forces who was awarded 5 military orders, was a simple military pensioner for 11 years. However, in 2007 Popov was invited to his current position. Oleg Popov became the general director of the interregional public organization Association of Veterans of the Russian Military Medical Service. Since then, veterans of the Russian medical service have been under his direct, personal care. He tries to do everything possible and impossible in order to provide his colleagues with the necessary social, medical, and sometimes material assistance.
If we talk about the Chechen campaigns, then there are many soldiers and officers who will remember Russian military doctors with a kind word. One of these is Captain Alexander Krasko, who was "killed" 3 times in the Caucasus. Twice it was a sniper in the first Chechen campaign. For the third time, already as a colonel, he was blown up by militants on the road to Urus-Martan. He still can't forget his very first wound. Then a sniper's bullet entered his neck and threw him over the curb. This curb saved his life, the sniper could not finish him off. Later, a medic from their battalion pulled him across the street. During the rescue of the wounded, he himself was seriously injured, but was able to drag Krasko to MTLB. In just 15 minutes, the officer was already operated on in Khankala.
After that, Alexander Krasno was treated in military hospitals for quite a long time. He returned to duty only a year later, and in August 1996 in Grozny he again received a bullet. This time, the officer was evacuated by helicopter under heavy fire from the militants. The medical pinwheel received 37 different holes. But the military pilots and the military doctors accompanying the wounded were able to deliver 5 seriously wounded servicemen to the military hospital in time. Since then, officer Alexander Krasko celebrates his birthday 4 times a year. And he always raises his glass and says a toast to the doctors in uniform. And there are dozens, if not hundreds, of such stories as with Colonel Alexander Krasko in Russian military medicine.
It was all the more offensive for many to look at what happened to Russian military medicine in recent years. Recently, the new Minister of Defense of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, noted that military hospitals are no longer going to close, according to him, the Russian Ministry of Defense has its own “road map” on this issue. “We don’t plan to close anything else,” said the general, who visited the State Flight Test Center. Chkalov, located in Akhtubinsk. At the same time, Shoigu later clarified that part of the military hospitals would be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA). In particular, we are talking about those military towns and garrisons in which there are few military personnel and it makes no sense to keep a large number of medical workers there.
“Still, in many places we have clinics that seem to be good, and the equipment is wonderful, but the specialists are worse. Therefore, we will train new medical personnel at the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg and send them, among other things, to Akhtubinsk,” Sergei Shoigu noted. Recall that the head of the Ministry of Defense decided to transfer military hospitals to the FMBA at the end of 2012. Then it was reported that all transferred medical institutions would receive the status of "civilian", and not only military personnel and members of their families, but also local residents would be able to seek medical help there.
The mass dismantling of military hospitals began at the initiative of the former Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov back in 2008 as part of the reform of the Russian military medicine system. By 2009, 22 hospitals and several dozen polyclinics had been disbanded in the country, and the number of military doctors had decreased from 15,000 to 5,800 people.
The level of medical care and its effectiveness in military hospitals in Russia and the USSR have been high since these institutions only began to appear in our cities. The quality of medical services provided here by military specialists was not questioned either during the existence of the Russian Empire or during the Soviet era. It would seem that if the industry has a glorious and brings obvious benefits to citizens, then it must be supported and developed by all means. But in reality, things are different. Specialists do not get tired of saying that today military medicine is not in its best condition. As a result of the reform that has been carried out in recent years, a clear continuity has been broken from the construction of scientific, clinical, rehabilitation complexes to obtaining a healthy citizen at the exit after passing through this entire medical chain. And this is only a small part of the problems that military doctors face almost every day.
One of the main problems is the poor state of the material base of hospitals and hospitals. Many of them were built in the last century, and their wear is from 80% to 100%. It is clear that significant funds are required to restore them. According to Sergei Shoigu, today 72% of the buildings have been in operation for more than 40 years, most of them need reconstruction and overhaul, in addition to this, there is an urgent need for new premises. Not only dilapidated buildings, but also the quality of services provided today leaves much to be desired, the Minister of Defense stressed. The poor equipment of medical units with specialized equipment is alarming. This is a rather serious issue, since the lack of the necessary equipment means the impossibility of providing high-quality medical care in the field.
There are also problems with the provision of medicines. The need for military medicine in drug supply last year amounted to 10 billion rubles. But only 40% of the required amount was allocated. The lack of sufficient funds in the budget for this item, of course, did nothing to improve the situation. A similar situation is observed in financing the construction of new medical institutions. At present, the percentage of provision in construction and overhaul is no more than 30-40%. Hence the long-term chronic unfinished construction, and the depreciation of the material base. Some medical facilities have not been put into operation for more than 10 years, which does not allow the provision of medical care in full.
As you know, approximately 17 regions of Russia have completely lost the medical facilities of the Ministry of Defense. This has resulted in approximately 400,000 military personnel, as well as military retirees, now being forced to seek medical care in already overcrowded civilian medical facilities. If in a number of regions of Central Russia military pensioners, theoretically, without any special problems, can afford to seek medical care in civilian hospitals and clinics, then there are quite a few corners of Russia where at least several hundred kilometers have to be overcome from their place of residence to a settlement with a suitable hospital .
But the situation will still improve. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered to allocate 1.4 billion rubles for the purchase of new medical equipment, as well as the additional staffing of military hospitals with graduates of medical universities. In addition, the issue of commissioning hospital ships should be resolved and a detailed analysis of the need and feasibility of reducing the number of military medical facilities in a number of Russian regions should be made. All this cannot but rejoice.

A military doctor is one of the oldest professions, the origins of which are known from the papyri of ancient Egypt. This is a specialist in demand by the RF Armed Forces equally in peacetime and in combat operations. Despite the absence of strict criteria for physical fitness, candidates for employment must have high intelligence, psychological and emotional endurance.
The labor contract stipulates that a citizen can be sent to hot spots to fulfill his duties. By signing the contract, the specialist independently agrees with this direction. A doctor cannot refuse a business trip.
Introduction to the topic
- prevention of diseases of soldiers and mass epidemics;
- control over the implementation of sanitary standards;
- provision of medical care;
- organizing lectures with soldiers on first aid;
- conducting medical examinations;
- organizing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield;
- surgical treatment of those injured in combat operations.
In general, we can say that these are both controlling functions, and preventive, and therapeutic.
Military ranks for military medics
As noted above, only the applicant who has the rank of lieutenant can take the position of a military physician. Further, the assignment of military ranks is carried out in accordance with the rules adopted for other categories of the military.
If the applicant for service graduated from a civilian university and completed military service, then the maximum rank that you can count on is sergeant. Regardless of education with such a title, you can take one of the following positions:
- nurse (nurse);
- paramedic;
- orderly
In order to further move up the career ladder, it is necessary to complete education at a special university to obtain the lowest officer rank.
To date, the issue of filling the vacant positions of a military doctor is very relevant. This is due to the fact that 8 years ago there was a wave of reductions in existing staff. Thus, it was planned to reduce funding, instead the problem arose of a lack of specialists for labor.
