On approval of the Procedure for attestation for the assignment of military ranks to citizens who are in the reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill that allows reserve officers to receive regular military ranks without restrictions. According to the bill, citizens in the reserve of the RF Armed Forces will be able to receive not two, as now, but six or more regular military ranks. Thus, according to one of the authors of the document, the first deputy chairman of the Duma defense committee Alexei Sigutkin, being in reserve, it will be possible to go from lieutenant to colonel and higher.

Let us recall that according to the current legislation (the law of the Russian Federation "On Military Duty and Military Service"), regular military ranks can be awarded 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, including military commissar; or to a senior warrant officer, senior midshipman, inclusive, as a military commissar of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Officers - up to major, captain of the 3rd rank inclusive - the commander of the military district; or up to colonel, captain of the 1st rank inclusively - by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The document, which the deputies are considering, also proposes another innovation - to allow the provision of regular military ranks in reserve, even if the candidate for an increase in military training did not pass. 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 a military position provided for by the states of wartime.

Where are reserve officers trained?

The main source of accumulation of reserve officers is military departments. Military offices appeared in Russia in 1926, when pre-conscription training was introduced by the decision of the Soviet government by the decision of the Soviet government at civilian universities and technical schools. Experience has shown that military offices, converted into departments, can graduate reserve commanders of the middle level, and in 1930, higher non-military training was introduced. In 1937-1939, the nature of training at military departments changed again - they switched to training single soldiers.

During the Great Patriotic War, all the activities of military departments were subordinated to the requirement for universal compulsory military training, they became training centers for regional military commissariats. In 1944, the military departments again began to train reserve officers.

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

You are a reserve officer if:

- you 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 were awarded an officer rank;
- you are demobilized from the ranks of the armed forces in the officer rank.

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