The paper proposes a possible methodological approach to testing of passive military exoskeletons in order to assess the effectiveness of their use under the criterion of reducing the load on the operator, and considers the procedure for optimal adjustment (fitting) of the exoskeleton elements to the anthropometric parameters of a combatant. In the final part of the work, the list of priority efforts aimed at the implementation of a unified technical policy in the field of organization and testing of military exoskeletons has been kept up to date.
