METHODS OF WORK OF THE COMMANDER AND HEADQUARTERS OF THE MILITARY UNIT OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE AND THEIR FORMALIZATION

Abstract

• The governing bodies of the military units of the National Guard of Ukraine objectively or subjectively take into account the system of basic methods of military-scientific knowledge in the performance of combat missions during daily service, emergencies and martial law. According to the authors, there are the following scientific methods-approaches: historical, logical, qualitative, quantitative, natural, model, systemic, conceptual, individual and collective work, complex, program-target, sequential and parallel work; methods-techniques: analysis and synthesis, comparison and analogy, generalization, abstraction, induction and deduction, intuition, prediction of modeling of combat options, forecasting of options, planning, research of combat, briefing, assessment of the situation on the elements of design service and combat operations of the guard and its elements, deception of the enemy, concealment of the plan of service and combat operations of the guard, operational and tactical analysis, qualitative and quantitative justification and military experiment.

When formalizing the methods of work of the commander and staff of the military unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, it is advisable to distinguish the following forms: depiction of methods of work in the state space (work schedule); depiction of methods of work by reducing tasks to subtasks (algorithm or program of logical-analytical activity); comprehensive depiction of methods of work (network schedule or mathematical network model to support decision-making or design of combat operations of the guard); depiction of methods of work of combat operations of the commander and staff in the form of theorems, artificial intelligence.

New methods of work of combat operations of the guard (first of all, operational level) in the operations of the security and defense sector of the state, can be put into practice after their scientific and theoretical justification. Such a substantiation is currently the subject of a separate research work with the participation of the authors of this article. In the future, these methods may form the basis of a system of basic methods of work of the commander and staff of the military unit during the preparation and conduct of combat operations of the National Guard of Ukraine.

In practice, the approach to determining the methods of work of the commander and staff can be implemented during exercises and during their preparation in order to justify the simultaneous or sequential performance of combat (operational) tasks of the guard by appointment, concentration or dispersal of guards, etc.
