A citizen who is recognized as fit for military service or fit for military service with minor restrictions can be accepted for military service under a contract.

Activities for professional psychological selection are carried out by specialists in professional psychological selection in the manner determined by the Regulations on the procedure for military service. Based on the results of professional psychological selection, one of the following conclusions is made on the professional suitability of a citizen for military service under a contract in specific military positions:

2. The procedure for selecting candidates for military service under a contract from among citizens not in military service and military personnel undergoing military service upon conscription into the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation.

The basis for registering citizens as candidates is their applications submitted to military units, filled out in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 5 of the Regulations on the Procedure for Military Service, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237.

Military units register and accept for consideration applications from citizens who have expressed a desire to enroll in military service under a contract.

The commander of the military unit reviews the accepted application and gives instructions on conducting a medical examination, measures for professional psychological selection, checking the compliance of the level of education, professional and physical training with the requirements established for those entering military service under a contract.

An application from a citizen who has expressed a desire to enter military service under a contract may be returned by the commander of a military unit on the grounds provided for in paragraph 5 of Article 5 of the Regulations on the procedure for military service, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237, for the following reasons :

if he does not have citizenship of the Russian Federation;
if on the day of concluding the contract his age does not meet the requirements of the Federal Law, and also if this person does not have the right to enter into a contract in accordance with the Federal Law;
when convicting him and imposing punishment, conducting an inquiry, preliminary investigation against him or transferring a criminal case to court;
if he has an unexpunged or outstanding conviction for committing a crime;
if this person was serving a sentence of imprisonment;
if this person is subject to administrative punishment for the consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without a doctor’s prescription or new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances (before the end of the period during which this person is considered subject to administrative punishment).

Along with the application, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the Regulations, citizens present a document proving their identity and citizenship and submit:

a completed and signed application form for those entering military service under a contract;
an autobiography written in your own hand in free form;
a duly certified copy of the work book (if available);
duly certified copies of documents confirming professional or other education;

a duly certified copy of the birth certificate;
extract from the house register.

A citizen can submit a reference from his last place of work.

The grounds for refusing a candidate entering military service under a contract to conclude a corresponding contract with him are:

the absence of vacant military positions in the military units of the National Guard of the Russian Federation according to the candidate’s training profile or the military specialty he received;
decision of the certification commission of the military unit, approved by the commander (chief) of the military unit, on concluding a contract for military service with another candidate based on the results of a competitive selection;
decision of the commission of the military commissariat or the certification commission of a military unit on the non-compliance of a candidate entering military service under a contract with the requirements established by this Federal Law.

A contract for military service cannot be concluded with citizens in respect of whom a conviction has been made and who have been sentenced, in respect of whom an inquiry or preliminary investigation or criminal case has been carried out in respect of whom has been transferred to court, citizens who have an unexpunged or outstanding conviction for committing crimes serving a sentence of imprisonment.

If a citizen is denied a contract for military service, he has the right to appeal this decision to a higher authority, the prosecutor's office or court.

For reference:
The procedure for selecting candidates for military service under a contract from among citizens not in military service and military personnel undergoing military service upon conscription into the National Guard of the Russian Federation is carried out in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 22, 2013 No. 924 “On approval of the Instructions for the selection of citizens and military personnel for military service under a contract in the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.”

Currently, this order is being processed for the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation (due date: the first quarter of 2017).

Once it is released, it will be submitted for posting on the website.

It will be possible to join the ranks of the new law enforcement agency after a year of service and serious tests

In 2016, military commissariats had to deny conscription to 40 thousand Russians. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced this on April 1. And this was not a joke: there is now a competition for army special forces - 20 people per place. And this week everyone learned that the National Guard has appeared in Russia. And calls poured in to the editors of Komsomolskaya Pravda: how to get into the National Guard? And how much will they pay there? We asked the head of the press service of the Internal Troops, Vasily Panchenkov, to answer readers’ questions. He represents exactly the unit on the basis of which the National Guard will be created.

1. How many guards will there be?

They also call us with such questions. Most often, they are already existing law enforcement officers from the regions. They are wondering if they will join the National Guard.

What is your answer?

The media are now citing different figures: they say that the National Guard will have 400, 350, 300 thousand employees. I think we need to wait for the adoption of the law on the National Guard, which is now under consideration in the State Duma. It is still difficult to say what troop structure will be approved.

What if they decide that, say, 200 thousand is enough?

Then, clearly, no one will recruit more than the current number and, perhaps, we should even expect reductions. Someone may leave due to age or health reasons. We must wait for a decision.

2. Is preference given to conscripts or contract soldiers?

A few years ago, in a cordon, I noticed thin little soldiers of the Internal Troops - will they really also recruit such people into the National Guard?

So what to do? In the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of contract soldiers for the positions of soldiers and sergeants was established - no less than 80%. The rest are conscripts. This mixed system was maintained until the last days. 20% of the fighters came to our units from the military registration and enlistment office. They were considered by a separate commission and the brigade commander. After military service, the best of them were already selected for contract service. First, contract workers are hired for a probationary period, and then a contract is signed with them.

3. Are the requirements for candidates high?

What are your recruitment requirements?

The candidate must be a citizen of Russia, have a permanent place of residence, have served in the border troops or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, be physically and mentally healthy, preferably under the age of 31. Preference is given to young men from intact families who have not been reported to the police, have not used drugs (tests show this), and have positive characteristics from school and sports clubs. After service, they return home, and some come to the commander and ask to stay on a contract. I think such requirements will remain for recruitment into the National Guard.

Is it really possible to recruit a whole brigade like this?

The Sofrinsky brigade of the Internal Troops is staffed exactly like this, 80% of its personnel are contract soldiers.

It is already clear that the demands on the guards will be high, but what can they count on?

Married people will receive official housing, children will be placed in kindergartens and schools. This is all being done precisely.

How much do employees of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (in the future - the National Guard) receive per month?

Conscript - 1000 rubles.

Contractor - from 19,000 to 90,000 rubles*.

Officer - from 45,000 to 120,000 rubles*.

*Amounts depend on the region and conditions of service, participation in hostilities.

Where to apply for employment?

✔ to the 2nd department of the military registration and enlistment office at your place of residence

✔ to the commanders of units of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (National Guard).

Ready for work, defense and “tapping”

The National Guard will include various OMON and SOBR detachments, the conditions for selection into which are related to established traditions. It was possible to get into the Vympel, Vityaz, Peresvet, Rus, Zubr, Vyatich, and many other units that were also part of the State Drug Control Service only after a serious physical test. The candidate needs:

Do at least 25 pull-ups

Run the assault course for a while

Shoot accurately, and then perform in hand-to-hand combat sparring with the most trained fighters in the squad.

Such tests are called tapping in special forces. It is very difficult, even almost impossible, to emerge victorious from them, but some manage to show their character. It becomes the calling card of the future fighter.

Who will join the Ministry of Internal Affairs and who will join the Guard?

Police

Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (currently) - 975,700 people.

FSKN - 32,000 people. (100 percent will be included in the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

History of the Russian Guard

In order to ensure state and public security, protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, a new federal executive body was created in Russia - the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Service, Rosguard). The legal basis for its creation was the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin dated April 5, 2016 No. 157 “Issues of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation” (http://www.kremlin.ru/acts/bank/40689)

Viktor Vasilievich Zolotov has been appointed Director of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation - Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation since its formation.

The formation of the Russian Guard and its formation is based on the domestic historical experience of the functioning of structures that performed law enforcement tasks, as well as tasks in the field of ensuring state security and defense of the country.

Conscription and military service in the Russian Guard

Russian Cossacks undergo military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military (special) formations and bodies in accordance with federal legislation. To perform military service, Russian Cossacks are sent, as a rule, to formations and military units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which are assigned traditional Cossack names, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation and border authorities.

Federal Law of December 5, 2005 No. 154-FZ "On the State Service of the Russian Cossacks"

List of formations and military units of the Russian Guard to be recruited by members of Cossack societies

Service in the ranks of the Russian Guard is honorable and requires high professional skills. Military personnel of the Russian Guard perform military service on the basis of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service" dated March 28, 1998 N 53-FZ (http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_18260/)

In accordance with this law, citizens perform military service by conscription and contract.

Officers and warrant officers

Officers and warrant officers perform military service under contract. Personnel bodies of the Russian Guard at all levels are responsible for the recruitment and movement of officers and warrant officers.

The following educational institutions prepare specialists for the Russian Guard:

• Novosibirsk Military Institute named after Army General I.K. Yakovlev troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation
• Saratov Military Red Banner Institute of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation
• St. Petersburg Military Institute of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation
• Perm Military Institute of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation
• Moscow Presidential Cadet School named after M.A. Sholokhov of the National Guard of the Russian Federation

The training of warrant officers is carried out in military training units and schools of warrant officers of the Russian Guard.

Sergeants, soldiers

You can check the availability of vacant military positions at the headquarters of the districts of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, whose contacts are posted on the official website of the National Guard of the Russian Federation.

The most promising military personnel who do not have the appropriate education, who are undergoing military service under a contract and have the rank of private and sergeant, can be sent to warrant officer schools, after which they are awarded the military rank of warrant officer.

Military personnel who have a higher or secondary vocational education and who have related military education institutions, when appointed to positions for which the state provides for the military rank of ensign, may also be awarded this military rank.

I know that conscript service in the Russian Guard is considered a very privileged option for many young people. My son is still preparing for military service, but he dreams of getting there. We live in Moscow, and this option will allow us not to leave the territory of our hometown, however, getting there is not very easy, since there are quite strict requirements for the candidate’s health, his physiological parameters, as well as his personality and other characteristics.

Many remember how more than two years ago, by presidential decree, a separate unit was created - the National Guard. Since the media for a long time compared this structure with a similar service in Ukraine, the Russians did not react very positively to this idea. Gradually, the opinion was revised and today the structure is called the Russian Guard. In my article I would like to talk about how to serve in the army in this particular unit, what requirements are imposed on candidates and what documents may be required.

This structure has one peculiarity. The fact is that the employees in this unit are subordinate only to the president personally and its tasks are very simple - to conduct special operations to neutralize terrorists throughout the country, protect the territory of the Russian Federation and, together with other structures, ensure law and order in the state.

It is due to centralized management that this structure is highly efficient. On the other hand, to join the elite unit, you will have to try hard. They just don’t take people there. There are a number of requirements that are very significant and without compliance with them, it is unlikely that you will be able to complete compulsory service in the Russian Guard.

The main requirements for those wishing to serve in the National Guard

According to reviews from young people who want to join this elite unit, it is not easy to do so. The following points can be cited as the main requirements:

• the citizen must be an adult;
• Russian citizenship is required;
• availability of fitness category “A”.

Preference in this matter is given to persons who have previously been in military service in the border troops or were in the army, or worked in law enforcement agencies. Additional advantages will be a complete family and positive characteristics from places of study. The maximum permissible age for admission to the Russian Guard is 31 years. Despite this strict selection, characteristics such as gender, nationality and race are not taken into account when selecting young people. The person's professed religion, position in society or financial situation will not be influenced.

Girls, like men, can become military personnel, but they will have to undergo the necessary testing and examination on the same basis as men. Persons wishing to enroll in the Russian National Guard will be required to pass a standard strength test in the form of pull-ups on a horizontal bar (from 30 times), shooting and completing an obstacle course against the clock.

Can conscripts get into the Russian Guard?

To get into the elite structure during the draft, the young man will have to submit the appropriate application himself and wait until the identity check is completed. Typically, this procedure takes up to several months.

In all other respects, the procedure is standard. First, you will need to undergo a medical examination, receive a certain fitness category and a decision from the authority that the person is suitable for military service in the National Guard. To reduce the waiting period, you should apply to the military commissariat at your place of actual residence. Some details on the topic of the note can be found in the video:

Why are additional checks carried out?

A psychophysical examination is considered an important stage in passing the test for suitability for service in the Russian Guard. As part of this testing and examination, signs of use of psychotropic and narcotic drugs and alcohol are identified. Psychological testing is also mandatory, since it requires determining whether a person has the qualities necessary to serve in a given structure.

Such an examination is necessary in order to determine whether the applicant has the qualities that are required to serve in this serious structure. A young man should not have qualities that pose a danger to others. In addition, during the examination, specialists will try to determine the degree of professional suitability of the young man.

Nuances and features

Only a person without a criminal record and without a dark past can get the desired opportunity and undergo military service in such a structure. In addition, in addition to a passport and military ID, the candidate will be required to submit a number of other documents confirming education and tax registration. The conscript will need to write a biography in his own hand.

Often they are denied entry into the service. This is mainly due to discrepancies in physical and mental characteristics. As a standard procedure, the processing time for an application is about one month, but sometimes it can be longer.

Instead of results

The material should be concluded with the following conclusions:

1. The National Guard or Rosgvardia is an elite structure that reports exclusively to the president and performs certain tasks throughout the country.
2. Conscripts can enter conscript service in the Russian Guard if they have such a desire and they meet the current requirements.
3. To enter the elite unit, it is enough to submit an official application and wait until a decision is made on it.

The Russian National Guard was formed in 2016 based on a presidential decree. Many people want to serve in the Russian Guard; there are cases when girls who were denied employment went to court to defend their civil rights. Let's consider what requirements are imposed on candidates wishing to serve in the Russian National Guard.

The structure of the National Guard includes main directorates, departments, services and divisions, which are divided into districts, military formations and educational institutions.

How are National Guard units staffed?

Military units and formations are staffed by officers, warrant officers, soldiers and sergeants. Military officers and warrant officers serve under contract; among soldiers and sergeants there are conscripts and contract soldiers.

Which units are staffed by members of Cossack communities?

This includes the following military units:

• No. 3641 - Moscow region, Sofrino village;
• No. 3671 - Nizhny Novgorod region, city of Bogorodsk;
• No. 7605 - stationed in Yekaterinburg;
• No. 3287 - located in Novosibirsk;
• No. 2658 and 3695 - are stationed in the cities of Irkutsk and Angarsk;
• No. 6912 - Khabarovsk city;
• No. 5960 - Vladivostok city;
• No. 6910 - Rostov region;
• No. 7405 - city of Rostov-on-Don;
• No. 3642 - city of Kalach-on-Don;
• No. 7427 - city of Pyatigorsk, Stavropol Territory;
• No. 3219 - the city of Labinsk, Krasnodar Territory.

How to become a Russian Guard member

Let's look at how you can join the National Guard.

By contract

Civilians and military personnel can become contractors. In both cases, candidates submit an application to the commander of the military unit. The decision to sign a contract with an applicant remains at the discretion of the unit commander. If there are no contradictions to entering contract service, the citizen/soldier is given a referral to undergo a medical commission, psychological tests, and pass physical training standards.

Important! An application for signing a contract may be rejected if there are no vacant positions in the state, the applicant does not meet the general requirements: lack of citizenship, criminal record, health group, etc.

If the applicant is a woman

Girls enroll in the Russian Guard on a general basis: they provide the established list of documents, write an application, undergo a medical examination and pass physical fitness tests. Here it is necessary to clarify that not all vacant positions can be filled by female military personnel.

By call

There are standard rules that are relevant for all Russian citizens of military age. In particular, young people undergo a medical examination at military registration and enlistment offices, and based on the results of the examination, conscripts are assigned to military units and formations.

In general, little depends on the conscript himself, but in the application form you can indicate a desire to serve in the ranks of the National Guard. If there are no contraindications due to health or other factors, this request may be granted.

It should be noted right away that enlisting in the National Guard troops will not be possible if the following circumstances exist:

• criminal record, including expunged;
• inconsistency with the health group;
• family ties with the immediate superior;
• obtaining citizenship of another country;
• provision of knowingly false information;
• low psychological stability;
• suicidal tendencies.

Please note that preference is given to citizens who served in the ranks of the Internal Troops, border troops and special forces. Sports achievements or a shooting rank are welcome.

What standards do you need to pass?

• passing the control and assault strip within a certain time;
• pull-ups on the horizontal bar at least 30 times;
