Abstract:The paper presents findings from a study conducted to determine the significance of practical military skills applied by the special purpose regiments of the Internal Troops of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver combat objectives. The findings indicate that the following are the key practical military skills: marksmanship skills as prowess with various types of weapons; the ability to move silently and promptly take up an advantageous fighting position; the ability to rapidly defeat the enemy when the encounter is unexpected; the ability to contain the enemy and cover assault teams; hand-to-hand fighting (with or without weapons) in various conditions; the ability to locate, apprehend and terminated terrorists; skills of camouflage and concealment; mastery of different entry techniques. Key words: practical military skills; special purpose regiments of the Internal Troops of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs; professional training; counter-terrorism operations. IntroductionThe present-day professional military activities of the special purpose regiments of the Internal Troops of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs require new approaches to organizing the training of Army personnel.The top priority for special forces personnel is to complete a program that encompasses tactical, firearms and physical training. The corresponding training curricula should be deeply interrelated and complementary.Tactical training should focus on learning how to seize (neutralize) armed criminals in different sites. Counter-terrorism operations may involve firearms discharge or hand-to-hand combat. All necessary techniques are to be perfected during firearms drills and physical training held in a certain tactical set-up.At tactical training sessions, one is required to select the most appropriate ready position; to observe all standard safety precautions governing the handling of weapons; to take a shooting position that is both the most advantageous and the least vulnerable. When practicing hand-to-hand combat, it is important to know safe ways of leaving the line of attack and to be able to decide on the best way of action in a particular situation. Blows and actions should be correct, precise, realistic, but vary in intensity (Bolotin & Erastov, 2013;Bolotin & Sivak, 2012;.At present, there is a strong emphasis on the physical and professional development of the special operations personnel of the MIA Internal Troops. Individual training standards are changing as conducting combat operations against armed bands requires special forces personnel to have a vast array of specialized military skills (Bolotin & Chistyakov, 2013;Bolotin & Petrenko, 2014).Russian experience in the field of special operations shows that special purpose regiments have to routinely undertake hazardous tasks, which explains why they are required to display high levels of specialized skills and military abilities.Under current conditions, the high-level specialized skills and military abilities of special forces personnel...
