The constant involvement of military personnel in the performance of duties in extreme conditions can contribute to maladaptation, a decrease in the body's adaptability to various environmental conditions, neuropsychological overstrain, and the emergence of persistent negative mental states in them. Therefore, the problem of forming the psychological readiness of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to perform the tasks of military and professional activity in today's conditions is urgent, because not only the effectiveness of the professional activity of servicemen, but also their personal safety depends on such readiness.
The system of military-professional training of personnel is dynamic and constantly improving. A number of scientists claim that the most important direction of development and improvement of the system of military activity of soldiers is the development of certain methods and means that meet the requirements of the modern concept of the development of methods of military struggle, which are based on the formation of the necessary professional skills and abilities for successful adverse conditions of combat activity and military service.
The question of forming the psychological preparedness of military personnel for actions in extreme situations, which are not only combat operations, but also certain tactical exercises, shooting with various types of weapons, changing the deployment and location of units, etc., remains relevant. It is physical training and means of hand-to-hand combat that can, to a certain extent, ensure the high-quality formation of the readiness of servicemen to act effectively in this or that extreme situation arising in the conditions of military service.
