Contract service in the Russian army begins with the conclusion of an agreement between the Ministry of Defense of Russia or another authorized body and citizen. This also applies to a representative of another country. The document must indicate information about the fact that the candidate voluntarily enters military service, the term for which he is concluded and his conditions are also specified.
The contract service includes the obligation in the terms of the contract military service citizen (foreign representative). Also, he must regularly fulfill the general, special and official duties of servicemen established by law and other regulatory acts. The terms of the contract include the privilege of compliance rights of a soldier and members of his family. Compensation and social guarantees are also included.
The provision on the contract service governs the start of the contract from the moment it is signed by an authorized official. The termination of the contract is also prescribed from the day the employee is excluded from the lists of the military unit or from the moment the other contract is concluded by the military.
Requirements for admission to the service
Recruitment for contractual service takes place through professional psychological screening and a medical examination. If a person meets the established requirements, he will be recognized as fit for military service or fit with minor restrictions. In addition, the candidate is required to speak the state language of Russia.
After passing through psychological selection, one of four conclusions on professional suitability is adopted.
Draft order
If the candidate is recognized by the commission as meeting the established requirements, the selection point (based on the extract) prepares the relevant materials. On their basis, an order for contract service is drawn up. This document is a project. What is it? This draft order is submitted to the personnel department. It contains information about the submission to the conclusion of the first (next) contract with the candidate and his appointment to the training military unit for the post. Or, the document spells out the conclusion of the first (next) contract with the candidate and provides information on his appointment to a military training unit for a specific position
If a citizen has passed the selection for filling a military post, for which it is supposed to work with information constituting a state secret, the point at which the candidate is selected is obliged to submit to the military commissariat draft materials required to obtain admission to the state secret in the adopted form.
After the Minister of Defense issues an order, an extract from this document is sent to the personnel department military district. And after that he is brought to the point of selection. The next step is coming.
After receiving the extract, the head of the selection point calls the candidate, and then sends him to the military unit.
"Survival Course"
After the military commissariat receives an extract from the order, the citizen is deregistered. His contract and personal file are sent to the selection point of the unit to which the candidate is sent for the purpose of completing combined arms training with a “survival course”.
The unit commander, based on the results of studying personal files of recruits, organizes control of their arrival. After all these conventions are fulfilled, a contract is concluded with them.
In the process of passing the "survival course", the command of the unit conducts a study of the military man. Acquaintance takes place in order to detect a predisposition to any military specialty and the presence of leadership qualities in a recruit. Upon completion of the course, the contracted soldier is sent to the unit of his choice. For this, in two weeks the personnel body of the training unit sends to the district administration a draft order on the appointment of a citizen to a military post.
The rookie is issued an order of departure to the specified unit. His personal file is sent there.
If the soldier’s "survival course" did not pass, he is expelled. The former candidate is sent at the place of residence for further military registration.
