METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF FORCES AND MEANS FOR THE OPERATIONAL SITUATION MONITORING DURING MASS EVENTS

Abstract

• When planning mass events, their organizers must coordinate with the executive authorities or local self-government bodies the place and time of holding these events. these bodies notify the Main Directorate of the Regional National Police of a mass event in order to ensure public safety. For this, it is planned to allocate forces and means from the National Police and the National Guard of Ukraine. Any mass event involves the accumulation of a large number of different layers of the civilian population and, as a result, the likelihood of riots. Therefore, for permanent possession of information in the area of a mass event, it is necessary to monitor the operational situation. For the purpose of conducting this monitoring, personnel are allocated from the intelligence units of the military units of the National Guard of Ukraine, which must be taken into account when calculating forces and means. The number of personnel required to monitor the operational situation depends on the number of participants, location, area of ​​the venue, and more. The allocation of personnel in the wrong quantity can lead to an untimely response of the forces of the National Guard of Ukraine to a certain situation and, as a result, failure to complete the task. To this end, the article presents a methodology for determining the required number of forces and means for monitoring the operational situation during mass events, which takes into account the peculiarities of organizing this monitoring by units of the National Guard of Ukraine and allows predicting: the required number of military outfits; the number of personnel of these outfits; the number of personnel in the groups of air monitoring, collection and processing of information; the total number of personnel. The developed methodology will help the military command and control bodies to reasonably make decisions on organizing and conducting monitoring of the operational situation and improve the use of forces and means of the intelligence units of the National Guard of Ukraine.
