Military personnel captured as prisoners of war, as well as those interned in neutral countries, retain the status of military personnel. The military command and other authorized government bodies are obliged to take measures in accordance with international law to protect the rights of these military personnel and return them to their homeland.

The primary responsibilities of military personnel are numerous. After all, these people are representatives of state power. And, accordingly, they have plenty of responsibilities. And military people bear a great responsibility. However, in addition to all this, they also have rights. However, first things first.

General position

To begin with, I would like to list the main responsibilities of military personnel. Firstly, each of them must keep faith in the oath and, accordingly, in the Fatherland. Serve the people, defend the Russian Federation, fulfill military duty and bravely endure difficulties.

Secondly, each of them is obliged to comply with the laws of the Russian Federation, the Charter and the Constitution. Thirdly, constantly acquire new professional knowledge, improve skills and improve existing skills.

Also, the main responsibilities of military personnel include knowledge and maintenance in constant combat readiness of the equipment and weapons that were entrusted to them. They must also take care of everything listed, keep it intact and safe. And make sure that unauthorized persons cannot get close to the weapon.

Moral component

Every soldier must remain honest, brave and disciplined. The exercise of reasonable initiative in the performance of duty is encouraged. But unquestioning obedience to superiors and commanders is mandatory. Also, all military personnel must protect the Battle Banner. And, of course, value your comrades, respect each of them and observe all the rules of military politeness and honor - keep state and other secrets.

Service nuances

The main responsibilities of military personnel were listed above. But this is just a small list of them.

In addition, every military man should know that if any official questions arise, then you only need to contact your superior, directly. If necessary, to resolve the situation, he will be sent to higher-ups.

The same goes for personal issues. If you have any proposals, complaints, or want to make a statement or appeal, then, first of all, you need to be guided by the provisions of the Constitution and the Charter. After all, the basic rights and responsibilities of military personnel are determined by these documents.

Everyone is also obliged to comply with and know the norms of international humanitarian law. A military man must be able to communicate with the wounded, sick, and other victims, as well as with prisoners, clergy and medical personnel.

In battle

Talking about what the main duties of a military man are the most important, one cannot fail to note those that he must perform during combat operations.

Even if he is separated from his unit, he must resist with all his might so as not to be captured. Military duty must be performed with honor. And, even in the case of absolute helplessness and serious injury, he must try to find an opportunity to save his life and his comrades if they were also captured.

During interrogation, a military man can provide his rank, full name, personal number and date of birth. The main task is to preserve dignity, honor, and state secrets. Any attempts by an opponent to use military personnel to cause damage to Russia and the RF Armed Forces must be nipped in the bud. All that remains is to wait for liberation, which commanders and superiors will certainly facilitate.

Responsibility

Absolutely every military man carries it, regardless of position and rank. Everyone is equal before the law.

The military man is obliged to bear disciplinary responsibility. If he committed an offense, violated the Charter, honor or morals, he must be punished.

Military personnel bear administrative responsibility on a general basis. But penalties such as fines and correctional labor cannot be applied to them.

They bear civil liability for failure to fulfill their duty. Or for damage caused to the state. Also, the military may bear financial liability. And criminal. But, usually, they are brought to only one type of responsibility for offenses. As punishment, military personnel are subject to disciplinary action. If material damage has been caused, the perpetrator shall compensate for it. A military man is not exempt from criminal liability, regardless of his position and rank.

About rights

As mentioned at the very beginning, the military does not only have responsibilities and duties. They also have rights.

Each of them is under the protection of their state. The basic rights and responsibilities of military personnel are determined by constitutional and federal laws. And no one has the right to restrict them in the freedoms that are guaranteed to them by the authorities. Also, no one is allowed to interfere with the official activities of the military. Except, of course, for authorized persons.

But otherwise, the state guarantees its defenders not only legal, but also social protection. Their lives and health are protected by the authorities. Chiefs and commanders who neglect the rights of military personnel and do not fulfill their duties towards subordinates are subject to appropriate punishment.

Weapon

Talking about what the main responsibilities of a military personnel are, as well as about his rights, one cannot help but touch upon the topic of weapons. People who defend the state have the right to keep, carry, use and use it. Moreover, both during the performance of duties and outside of duty. Only in this case the owner of the weapon must ensure its safety.

In special cases it can be applied. A military man has the right to resort to weapons to repel an armed or group attack on military and government facilities, military units, subunits, echelons, guards, etc. And also - if someone forcibly tries to take possession of equipment and weapons.

You can also protect civilians and military personnel with weapons. But in the event that another method is not possible. And if someone takes illegal actions, resists and refuses to stop them, then it is also allowed to detain him using a weapon.

Soldiers and sailors

Most of the people in the RF Armed Forces are privates. In our country, every guy must undergo military service. Which is what most of them do. And at first they are all privates (lowest rank). Some manage to earn the rank of corporal or junior sergeant within a year. But according to statistics, ordinary people are still the majority. And it is also necessary to talk about their responsibilities, since this is the largest category in the RF Armed Forces.

All privates (soldiers and sailors) report to the squad commander. They are obliged to preserve the integrity of the property that was issued to them. When a soldier is entrusted with a weapon, he must return it in good condition.

Everything that commanders teach privates, they are obliged to remember. Naturally, the main, general responsibilities of military personnel (private soldiers) include daily hardening and self-training. Every soldier must know the full names of all direct superiors, their positions and ranks, and also show them due respect.

A private must always be dressed in uniform. Its condition must be carefully monitored, just like your shoes. Weapons must always be in good working order, cleaned and ready for battle. Safety requirements, of course, must also be observed. And, if there is a need to leave, the soldier must approach the squad commander to ask permission. Afterwards, report your arrival.

Features of urgent service

The above is not all that a soldier will have to do. In addition to physical, combat, fire, theoretical and service training, he is also expected to be on duty, patrol and watch. In a word – outfits. Every private goes through them.

Being on duty in a company involves performing a lot of duties. Firstly, the person appointed to this position monitors the exact daily routine, the safety of boxes of ammunition, weapons, and the correct performance of duty by the orderlies. When the alarm is announced, the duty officer raises the personnel. He does the same at the set time (6:00). If any incident occurs, it takes measures to eliminate it. This is the most important thing. The list of responsibilities amounts to dozens of items.

Any soldier can be assigned an objective, daily and garrison outfit. Sometimes - out of turn, but this is a misdemeanor.

Commander

You should also know what people who control entire units, companies, platoons, battalions must do. Often, by the way, this topic is even discussed in schools - for general education it would not hurt to know the basic responsibilities of military personnel. Life safety is the name of the subject within which schoolchildren receive this knowledge. Typically, such topics are raised in the last grade, so that future defenders of the Motherland know what they will need to deal with.

So, students are often given the following question: “List the main responsibilities of military personnel and the commander.” It can be answered quite easily.

The main task of the commander is to train his subordinates (soldiers). It strengthens their love for the Motherland, instills respect for service, military equipment and weapons, develops drill bearing and improves physical endurance. Also controls the execution of combat missions by subordinates. And not only in peacetime, but also in wartime. But every commander is also obliged to take care of the soldiers, understand their needs and provide them with everything they need. Seeing a worthy example before them, the rank and file will fulfill their basic duties as military personnel with a sense of duty.

Life safety, 11th grade education on this topic can also arouse interest in the army in future soldiers. So the basics of life safety are a rather useful subject.

About service

And finally, a few words about in what cases a military person is considered to be in service.

He is such if he participates in hostilities or performs tasks in conditions of an emergency or armed conflict. A person also serves while performing official duties, combat duty (attack, guard), an order or instruction given by the commander.

If a military man goes on a business trip, is hospitalized, undergoes training, or is captured, he is still in service. Moreover, even if it goes missing (unknown absence), it is formally considered so. In general, if we draw a conclusion, a military man who has taken the oath is always in service.

The serviceman is obliged:

To be faithful to the Military Oath, selflessly serve your people, courageously, skillfully, not sparing your blood and life itself, defend the Russian Federation, fulfill military duty, steadfastly endure the difficulties of military service;

Strictly comply with the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, fulfill the requirements of military regulations;

Be vigilant and strictly maintain military and state secrets.

7. Official and special duties of military personnel

1. What are the rights of military personnel?
2. What are the restrictions on the rights and freedoms of military personnel and how are these restrictions compensated by the state?
3. What are the main responsibilities of military personnel?
4. What types of legal liability do you know? Describe these species.

Official duties are performed only in the interests of military service, based on regulations and other acts of a military nature. Military personnel are assigned special responsibilities when performing special operations and conducting combat operations. To perform special duties, military personnel may be granted additional rights to use weapons, special means, and physical force, which are determined by federal laws, general military regulations and other regulatory legal acts.

4) Rights and responsibilities of military personnel.

All military personnel are equal before the law and may be involved to disciplinary, administrative, material, civil and criminal liability.

Disciplinary liability - disciplinary offenses that do not entail criminal or administrative liability. Military personnel bear disciplinary liability for administrative offenses. At the same time, administrative punishments in the form of administrative arrest, correctional labor, etc. cannot be applied to military personnel. Military personnel are held liable for material damage caused through their fault to the state while performing military service duties, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Military personnel are held civilly liable for losses and moral damage. Military personnel are brought to criminal liability for committing a crime provided for by the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. When bringing military personnel to justice, infringement of their honor and dignity is unacceptable.

5) Single presence, commanders and subordinates, seniors and juniors.

Unity of command- one of the basic principles of the construction of the RF Armed Forces. This is the vesting of the commander (chief) with power in relation to subordinates and the assignment of responsibility to the state for all aspects of the life and activities of a military unit, unit and each military personnel. Unity of command is the right of the commander (chief) to make decisions alone, give orders in strict accordance with laws and regulations and ensure their implementation. Discussion of the order is unacceptable, disobedience is a crime.
According to their official position and military rank, some military personnel in relation to others can be superiors or subordinates. Boss has the right to give orders to a subordinate and demand their execution. The boss is an example of tact and restraint. The boss is responsible for humiliating actions. Subordinate obliged to unquestioningly carry out the orders of the superior. He can appeal the order legally. The superiors to whom military personnel are subordinate in service are direct superiors. The direct superior closest to the subordinate is called the immediate superior.
Example - sergeants and foremen are superiors for soldiers and sailors of one military unit.

Military personnel who, by their official position and military rank, are not their superiors or subordinates in relation to other military personnel, may be senior or junior. Seniority is determined by military ranks of military personnel. Senior military ranks, if juniors violate military discipline, public order, rules of conduct, wearing military uniforms and performing military salutes, must demand that they eliminate these violations. Juniors in rank are obliged to unquestioningly fulfill these demands of their elders.

In equal positions, the senior in military rank is the chief.

6) The procedure for applying incentives.

Commanders (chiefs) can apply incentives both to an individual serviceman and to the entire personnel of a military unit (unit). For one distinction, a serviceman can be promoted only once.

When determining the type of incentive, the nature of the merits, diligence and distinction of the serviceman, as well as his previous attitude towards military service are taken into account.

A serviceman who has a disciplinary sanction can be rewarded only by removing the previously applied sanction. The right to lift a disciplinary sanction belongs to the commander (chief) by whom the sanction was applied, as well as to his direct superiors, who have no less disciplinary power than him. Only one disciplinary sanction can be removed from a serviceman at a time. The commander (chief) has the right to lift a disciplinary sanction only after it has played its educational role and the serviceman has corrected his behavior by exemplary performance of military duty.

The removal of a disciplinary sanction - disciplinary arrest - is carried out by the commander of a military unit, if the serviceman does not commit a new disciplinary offense: for soldiers and sailors - no earlier than three months after the execution of the decision of the judge of the garrison military court to impose a disciplinary arrest; from sergeants and foremen - no earlier than six months; from warrant officers and midshipmen - no earlier than a year later.

A serviceman who has committed a disciplinary offense may be subject to only those disciplinary sanctions that are determined by this Charter, correspond to the military rank of the serviceman and the disciplinary authority of the commander (chief) who decides to bring the offender to disciplinary liability.
When imposing a disciplinary sanction, the nature of the disciplinary offense, the circumstances and consequences of its commission, the form of guilt, the personality of the serviceman who committed the disciplinary offense, and circumstances mitigating and aggravating disciplinary liability are taken into account.

The severity of the disciplinary sanction increases if the disciplinary offense was committed while on combat duty (combat service) or while performing other official or special duties, while intoxicated, or if its consequence was a significant violation of internal order.

The application of a disciplinary sanction to a serviceman who has committed a disciplinary offense is carried out within 10 days from the day when the commander (superior) became aware of the disciplinary offense committed (not counting the time for conducting proceedings, proceedings in a criminal case or in a case of an administrative offense, time illness of a serviceman, his presence on a business trip or leave, as well as the time he performed a combat mission), but before the expiration of the statute of limitations for bringing the serviceman to disciplinary liability.
