Views on the Organisation and Conduct of Individual Training of Officers of Military Command and Control Bodies

Abstract

Trends in the development of modern military conflicts, in particular the large-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against our country, improvement of forms and methods of employment of troops (forces), development of firearms, increase in the scope of tasks involving military command and control, implementation of principles, procedures and standards adopted by the armed forces of NATO member states, require a set of measures aimed at improving operational training. One of the components of operational training is the individual training of servicemen of the military command and control, which is conducted with the aim of developing their individual capabilities to perform tasks effectively independently and as part of the military command and control. Directly planning the use, commanding groups of troops (forces) in operations (combat actions), organising interaction and comprehensive support is carried out by the officers of the military command and control. The quality of performance of their tasks depends on the level of their training, which is the result of their individual training. Thus, there is a need to improve the individual training of officers. Based on the scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of individual training of servicemen and the experience of its conduct in the military education institutions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during 2022-2024, the article presents the authors' views on the organisation and conduct of individual training of officers in military administration. The implementation of the proposed views involves: development of standards of functional responsibilities for a typical position, introduction of individual tasks, creation of web resources, introduction of modern forms and methods of training. The results of the study can be used in the development of guidelines regulating the organisation and conduct of individual training of officers in the military command and control, as well as in the course of further research in this area in academic institutions.
