History: graduated from the military department and received the military rank of lieutenant of the reserve in 2012, at the beginning of 2013 he received a military ID of a reserve officer at the military registration and enlistment office. I have excellent characteristics military department, all exams during training and graduation passed with excellent marks.

When I was at the military registration and enlistment office, I asked the head of the department for registering reserve officers (I don’t remember exactly what this department is called), then - lieutenant colonel whether I will be awarded the military rank of "senior lieutenant" 3 years after the award military rank"lieutenant". I referred to article 24 of the Regulations on the procedure for performing military service ( Article 24):

3. To stay in the reserve in the following military ranks, the terms are established:
…
h) senior lieutenant - three years;

7. The next military rank may be awarded to a citizen who is in the reserve of the Armed Forces Russian Federation:
a) up to and including the senior lieutenant - with a positive attestation;

And also to the fact that my father, also a reserve officer, was awarded the military rank of “senior lieutenant” in the late 80s 3 years after being awarded the rank of “lieutenant” and without going through the training camp.

The lieutenant colonel replied that without going through military training on this moment assignment of the next ranks to reserve officers is not carried out. Hence the first question - is it true that 1. the assignment of the next rank to reserve officers, including the title of "senior lieutenant", is carried out only after passing the training camp?

Then I asked him about the military training camp, and he answered me that even when passing the training camp, the rank is awarded only if I receive a positive motivated reference from the head of the training camp and an indication that I am worthy of the next military rank. It is not clear how well the leadership of the military training camps of officers who pass them can evaluate in 2-3 weeks and make a positive decision. In this regard, the question arises: 2. How difficult is it to get a positive reference with a referral for the assignment of the next military rank during the training camp? What is the proportion of citizens who receive a positive reference What is the practice on this issue

Now I am a student of the magistracy and therefore I am exempted from fees. But in the summer I will have time, and I am ready to go to the training camp. 3. Is it possible to go to the training camp, being a student (that is, as if forgetting about it and not telling the military registration and enlistment office). In case this is found out in the GUK MO, can it have Negative consequences in the form of a refusal to assign another title?

There are also additional restrictions on passing fees: for example, citizens cannot be called up for them more often than once every 3 years. 4. Is it possible to violate them of your own free will, that is, to come to the draft board and ask for training, even if less than 3 years have passed since the previous ones?

In order to receive the next rank, the fees must be completed in a position for which the desired rank is required according to the staffing table. The lieutenant colonel assured me that the rank of "senior lieutenant" would be easy to obtain in this way, and then it might be more difficult with positions. 5. What are the practical limits to growth in military rank for reserve officers? Is it possible in practice to obtain the ranks of "major", "lieutenant colonel" and "colonel" in this way?

Please be as careful as possible when answering. practices and practical opportunities, because the regulatory legal acts on this issue I have already studied quite well on my own and can almost work as a lawyer in this specialization. :) Thank you all in advance for your answers!

Yes, in addition to question 2. Is it difficult to pass tests and exams at the training camp at a level that would be enough to award the next title?

Finally found one developed by the political department of the Ministry of Defense and recommended for Armed Forces ritual of celebrating one of the main events in the life of any soldier - washing the assignment of the next ( extraordinary) military rank.
(for more than 20 years of service, I have not seen any options, but more and more home-grown ones ... but in any business there must be order!)

I am sure it will be perfect for officers of the Civil Defense Troops and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Internal Troops and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Border Troops and the FSB-MGB, the Railway Troops of the Ministry of Railways, as well as all employees of any "power" structure who wear shoulder straps and regularly change stars for them , diamonds, etc.

Note:
If the officer who was awarded the rank is a non-drinker, he is allowed to replace vodka with low-alcohol drinks.
Vodka can be replaced by other people present with other drinks only after the third toast.

Abridged version

Comrade officers! Lieutenant Colonel Ivanov.
I introduce myself on the occasion of conferring another military rank of "colonel" on me! (sometimes added - "Order of the Minister No. ... dated ...")

A full glass of vodka (250 grams) with 3 stars at the bottom is drunk to the bottom, the stars are not swallowed (!), but remain in the mouth, after which they are carefully and accurately spat out onto a previously prepared shoulder strap or onto a shoulder strap on one of the shoulders.

Comrade officers! Colonel Ivanov.

Military rank is an integral part of any army, and this also applies to the Russian Armed Forces. The introduction of a system of military ranks made it possible to draw a clear line between soldiers, officers and higher command staff, which makes it possible to observe interpersonal subordination and order in the Russian army. This is important not only in peacetime, but especially during hostilities.

The history of the origin of military ranks

For the first time, military ranks and positions appeared in the Russian kingdom in the 16th-17th centuries. The system of army unity of command affected only the archery troops. In the rest of the army, the ranks of the state, that is, civil, service were preserved, until the moment of reorganization into regiments of the new system.

In the archery regiment there was a system of military ranks, which varied depending on the number of subordinates (foreman, Pentecostal, centurion, and so on).

Later, in the regiments of the new order, the ranks underwent major changes and began to be named in the Western European manner (starting from warrant officer and lieutenant, ending with lieutenant general and general).

Such a system is very similar to the current design of Russian military ranks.

In 1722, the nomenclature of military ranks greatly expanded, due to which there was a division between the rank and position of an officer.

This arrangement continued until 1917. It underwent significant changes after the communists came to power, and in the Soviet Union the ranks were replaced by the positions of Soviet officers.

On September 22, 1935, military ranks were introduced by decree of the Central Executive Committee. In order to avoid associations with the White Army, some ranks were changed (for example, the general was changed to divisional commander, brigade commander). Later, in 1940, the general and admiral ranks were returned, and already in 1972 the ranks of "ensign" and "midshipman" would be introduced.

The system of military ranks that operates at the present time is a legacy of the multifaceted history of Russia, and in particular, Soviet Union.

Subordination in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The vital activity of the army largely depends on the existing relationships in the team. A team that is mired in conflicts cannot carry out appropriate combat training activities. Whereas the company, where friendship and mutual support reigns, copes with this perfectly. The commander of the military group must always remember this.

However, this is a double-edged sword: military personnel are obliged to do what the higher authorities order (if this does not contradict military regulations and current legislation). Few want to experience the hardships of service. And military service obliges the soldier to this.

For this, charters have been introduced in the armed units. military service which a soldier, entering the service and taking an oath, undertakes to fulfill. Charter internal service The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation regulate the relationship between soldiers and officers: unity of command and subordination, tact and restraint, mutual respect, collectivism, which are the basic principles of this document.

The disciplinary charter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation determines main point discipline of a serviceman, his rights and obligations, types of incentives and disciplinary sanctions, the rights and obligations of the commander for their use, the rules for filing complaints, applications and proposals.

The statutory rules for the relationship between servicemen entering guard, garrison and commandant service are regulated by the relevant statutes of the Armed Forces that exist to control compliance with this type of military service. The drill rules and the order of the military salute are determined by the drill charter.

Compliance with the statutory relationships lies with each soldier in particular and the team as a whole. In particular, this should be monitored by the commanding part of the garrison. Therefore, the officer is vested with special powers to control the discipline and order of service of his subordinates.

Responsibility for violation of statutory relationships

Depending on the nature and severity of the offense, a serviceman may incur disciplinary, administrative, civil or even criminal liability (Article 28 federal law"On the status of military personnel").

for breach of discipline or public order the military will be punished in accordance with the Disciplinary Regulations. The acting commander can make both a remark and a reminder about it and conduct a disciplinary sanction. It depends on the degree of guilt and the severity of the offense committed. Also, the boss may see signs of a crime in the actions of a subordinate, which he will have to report, which, in turn, will conduct an investigation.

Statutory relationships between soldiers are protected by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and current legislation. The threat of criminal punishment occurs if the soldier:

• exceeded official powers;
• did not comply with the order;
• resisted the commander or forced him to violate his military duties;
• insulted another soldier or inflicted bodily harm on him.

Complex form - psychological impact and educational work, will be able to strengthen the morale of the soldiers and warn them against violating the statutory rules of relations.

The value of military rank in the Armed Forces

Military ranks cannot be considered only from the angle of the fact of encouraging a soldier. They are issued to the most prepared, disciplined and responsible of those serving, since it is they who are responsible for commanding personnel.

Rank is an important component of the Armed Forces. But it is worth remembering that the position occupied by the latter is decisive in the primacy between the subordinate and the boss.

The rank can be understood as a kind of service skill, corresponding to which a soldier or officer is awarded certain powers and privileges. The military rank is issued solely for services to the Fatherland, which allows you to divide decent military personnel and not so much in the army.

At the moment, there are two types of ranks in the army of the Russian Federation:

• combined arms;
• ship.

The first are assigned to persons serving in the infantry and air force ranks of the troops. The latter belong to the military who serve in the Russian Navy. A mandatory attribute of the rank is the type of armed forces in which the person is. For example, a serving colonel in the guards unit is assigned to the rank of the addition of "guards", that is, "guards colonel". For people who are assigned to legal or medical units, the concept of "justice" or "medical service" is added to the rank, respectively.

When a member of the armed forces retires or retires, he retains his rank, but the accompanying definition is "retired" (retired captain or retired colonel).

The procedure for conferring military ranks

To obtain the next rank, it is necessary to voluntarily enter the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, join by conscription or graduate from a special higher educational institution.

Service life also plays an important role in the awarding of military ranks to military personnel. After serving a certain period, a soldier receives the next rank. Within the framework of his authority, an official can also assign a title if he considers it necessary.

Persons liable for military service, for whom sergeant and foreman ranks are provided, they are issued based on the results of successful completion of service training.

The assignment of military ranks by presidential decree is also possible, but for this officer to be presented by his current superior, reporting on this.

Obtaining regular military ranks

For enlisted personnel, in order to receive the next rank, it will be necessary to serve a certain period of time.

• senior soldier or sailor - 5 months;
• junior sergeant - 1 year;
• sergeant - 2 years;
• and ensign - 3 years.

During this period, the service of a soldier should take place without disciplinary sanctions, and the rank will be awarded only after passing the test according to the service program.

The next rank assigned to the officers also depends on the period of service. The terms for conferring military ranks to officers are calculated in years. The higher the position and rank, the more time it will take to get a new one:

• for " junior lieutenant» this period is two years;
• the assignment of the military rank of "lieutenant" and "senior lieutenant" occurs after three years of service;
• four years will be required to obtain a "captain" ("lieutenant commander") and a "major" ("captain of the 3rd rank");
• "lieutenant colonel" or "captain 2nd rank" can only be obtained after five years of service.

Who is not assigned the next military ranks?

Stars on shoulder straps do not shine for military officers if they:

• were involved as an accused in a criminal case or it was initiated against them (before the end of the proceedings);
• are at the disposal of the chief (commander);
• committed a disciplinary offense (before the application of a measure of responsibility);
• submitted for early dismissal under Art. 51 Federal;
• checked for accuracy and completeness of information on income and expenses, on property and property obligations;
• suspended military service;
• stay in places of detention and serve a criminal sentence;
• the conviction has not been expunged.

Assignment of an extraordinary military rank

In addition to the refusal to receive the next military rank, as part of the award, soldiers or officers can be assigned to an extraordinary rank.

You can get the coveted stars for shoulder straps ahead of time only by decision of the leadership in whose department the soldier is serving. This happens very rarely, because the dominant person performs such actions only at his own discretion.

If an officer or soldier participated in special operations, showed himself during emergency, his subordinates showed excellent results in training and combat training, then as an encouragement, the current commander can assign him an extraordinary military rank.

Deprivation of the title

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a system of rewards and punishments for their subordinates. A serviceman can not only be deprived of the next rank, but also lowered in the existing one.

This happens in grave and especially grave misconduct on the part of the military, of which only the court can accuse him. After a guilty verdict is passed, the military may be demoted and deprived of existing social benefits and privileges.

After the repayment of a criminal record in the rank and position, you can be restored by submitting an appropriate application to the military registration and enlistment office. However, there is no guarantee that the Armed Forces will accept a former soldier back to the same position and in the same rank.

If an officer or soldier was convicted unfairly, then after rehabilitation he will be automatically reinstated in position and rank.

Military rank is an integral attribute of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the history of which can be traced back to the beginning of the 16th century. The assignment of a military rank can be either regular (after the expiration of a certain period of service) or extraordinary (for special services to the Fatherland and the quality of service).

In the process of serving, the military must observe strict subordination, the violation of which may result in liability, up to criminal liability, depending on the severity of the offense committed. After a guilty verdict is passed, a serviceman may be demoted in rank and deprived of his position, which is not easy to restore. A responsible attitude to military duties is the key to a healthy army.

Yes, in addition to question 2. Is it difficult to pass tests and exams at the training camp at a level that would be enough to award the next title?

The State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill allowing officers in the reserve to receive regular military ranks without restrictions. According to the bill, citizens in the reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be able to receive not two, as now, but six or more regular military ranks. Thus, one of the authors of the document, the first deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Defense, Alexei Sigutkin, believes, being in the reserve, it will be possible to go from lieutenant to colonel and above.

Recall that under the current legislation (the law of the Russian Federation "On military duty and military service"), the next military ranks can be assigned to citizens who are in the reserve, only no more than two times. At the same time, a soldier, sailor, sergeant, foreman, warrant officer and midshipman could rise to the rank of foreman, chief ship foreman, inclusive of military commissar; or up to senior warrant officer, senior warrant officer, inclusive, military commissar of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Officers - up to major, captain of the 3rd rank inclusive - commander of the military district; or up to the colonel, captain of the 1st rank inclusive - by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The document, which is being considered by the deputies, also proposes another innovation - to allow the provision of regular military ranks in the reserve, even if the candidate for an increase in military training has not passed. True, as the developers note, this is possible if the education, qualifications and work experience of a citizen in the reserve meets the requirements that apply to candidates for filling a military position provided for by wartime states.

Where are reserve officers trained?

The main source of accumulation of reserve officers is military departments. Military offices appeared in Russia in 1926, when for the training of command and engineering personnel by the decision of the Soviet government under civil universities and technical schools introduced pre-conscription training. Experience showed that military offices converted into departments could graduate mid-level reserve commanders, and in 1930 higher non-military training was introduced. In 1937-1939, the nature of training at the military departments changed again - they switched to the training of single fighters.

During the years of the Great Patriotic War all the activities of the military departments were subordinated to the requirement of universal compulsory military training, they became the training centers of the district military commissariats. In 1944, reserve officers were again trained at military departments.

By 1990, there were 441 educational institutions in the Soviet Union that trained reserve officers. With the collapse of the USSR in a number of universities and in all secondary specialized educational institutions military training students were discontinued. By 2008-2009, military departments are planned to remain only in 30-35 civilian universities in Russia.

You are a reserve officer if:

- you have signed a contract for the training program for reserve officers, graduated from the military department at a university, completed military training camps, successfully graduated from the university itself, and you have been awarded an officer rank;
- you are demobilized from the ranks of the armed forces in the rank of officer.

After graduating from a military department and a university, the rank of officer is usually awarded. Reserve officers are called up for military service for a period of 2 years.
