Abstract

The article investigates the influence of the weight of combat equipment of a security officer on his/her manoeuvrability. It has been established that an increase in the weight of combat equipment negatively affects the time of performance of tactical actions by a security officer, which are associated with the need for manoeuvring and rapid movement in space. The dependencies of the time of performance of some tactical actions by a security officer on the weight of combat equipment are obtained. The obtained results allow rationally determining the quantitative indicators of tasks related to the need for manoeuvring and rapid movement in space, and can also be used to optimise the distribution of physical activity to individual security forces personnel of one unit in order to increase the efficiency of the unit's performance of its tasks as a whole.
