https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/331958
<p>This article examines the motivational aspects of compulsory military service in Ukraine within the context of its ongoing reform and adaptation to contemporary challenges. Given the transformations in the national security system and the imperative to enhance the country’s defense capability, the issue of engaging young people in military service has become increasingly significant. The study identifies key factors contributing to the low motivation of young men to undergo military service, including the misalignment of its format with modern social and economic realities, the absence of adequate material incentives, and the persistence of outdated personnel management practices.</p> <p>Special attention is devoted to the analysis of legislative reforms aimed at restructuring the staffing system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The study examines the gradual transition to a contractual model of military service alongside the introduction of basic military service and foundational military training, which may serve as an alternative approach to reserve force formation. In this context, a comparative analysis of the experiences of European and Scandinavian countries is conducted, particularly concerning the duration of service, conditions of enlistment, and key motivational drivers for conscripts.</p> <p>The article presents a set of recommendations to enhance the motivation of young people to fulfill compulsory military service. Emphasis is placed on the need to implement high-quality professional training programs, improve service conditions, establish clear career progression opportunities, and ensure comprehensive social benefits for military personnel. Additionally, the study explores the impact of public perception of military service on youth motivation levels.</p> <p>The research identifies key strategies for addressing the primary demotivating factors that discourage young people from military service. The study underscores the importance of fostering a sense of civic responsibility and awareness among young people regarding the critical role of their contribution to national defense. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of developing a comprehensive state strategy aimed at elevating the prestige of military service and reinforcing patriotic values within society.</p>Ihor AvilovNataliia Kryvokon

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/331986
<p><em>The article addresses the issue of developing leadership competencies among junior commanders in the training centers of the National Guard of Ukraine amidst contemporary security challenges caused by the ongoing russian-ukrainian war. The decisive role of effective military leaders in ensuring unit combat readiness, maintaining personnel morale, coordinating actions on the battlefield, and operating in non-standard situations is emphasized.</em></p> <p><em>Based on the analysis of modern scientific literature, guiding documents (particularly the Doctrine of Military Leadership in the National Guard of Ukraine), and international experience, the key aspects of leadership development among servicemen are identified. The main characteristics of a military leader are outlined, including the ability to lead by personal example, make decisions under uncertainty, maintain morale, develop subordinates, demonstrate strong communication skills, and take responsibility for the lives of their subordinates.</em></p> <p><em>The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted at the end of 2024 among commanders of units of the National Guard of Ukraine. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of leadership competency among graduates of the Vasyl Vyshyvanyi Training Center of the National Guard of Ukraine. A total of 270 respondents participated in the survey. Analysis of the results revealed that over 30 % of sergeants demonstrated a medium or low level of leadership competency, indicating a need to improve the educational training program.</em></p> <p><em>The authors propose ways to enhance the professional training system for junior commanders, including increasing the volume of practical exercises, actively applying interactive learning methods, improving the qualifications of instructors, and expanding mentorship programs. The necessity to revise the curriculum structure is also emphasized, with a stronger focus on tactical, firearms, professional psychological, and military medical training.</em></p> <p><em>The conclusions justify that the development of leadership competencies among junior commanders should be systematic and continuous, taking into account dynamic combat experience, changes in the security environment, and the challenges of modern warfare. The proposed improvements can contribute to raising the preparedness level of the sergeant corps and enhancing the effectiveness of the National Guard of Ukraine's operational performance.</em></p> <p><em>The results obtained have practical significance for improving educational programs in military training institutions, developing methodological recommendations for leadership competency development, and shaping an effective system of professional training for the sergeant corps amid the transformation of the security and defense sector. </em></p>Volodymyr VasyshchevOleksandr Kapliuchenko

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/331998
<p><em>The article examines in detail the importance of standards in the professional training of police officers, in particular, in relation to the use of special means, such as a rubber baton. The author analyzes the current regulatory framework of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine regulating the procedure for service training and identifies its shortcomings in forming the full range of necessary knowledge and skills for the effective use of special means. The absence of clear standards can lead to a heterogeneous level of training of law enforcement officers and increase the risk of misuse of force.</em></p> <p><em>The authors propose to introduce specialized standards that clearly regulate the methodology for performing exercises with a rubber baton, which will help unify police officers' skills and increase the effectiveness of their actions in stressful situations. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed standards, an experimental study was planned and conducted.</em></p> <p><em>The pilot study included four exercises performed by cadets with different levels of training. During the exercises, the indicators of time, accuracy and correctness of the strokes were recorded. Based on the results obtained, evaluation criteria were developed that take into account the speed of reaction, the number and correctness of the strikes, as well as the overall technical training of the performers.</em></p> <p><em>The experimental study included the performance of four exercises by cadets with different levels of training.

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/332046
<p><em>The article addresses the issue of determining the probability of a security forces officer sustaining a combat injury under conditions of enemy fire.</em></p> <p><em>An improved method for determining the probability of a security forces officer sustaining a combat injury under enemy fire has been developed. This method involves decomposing the target into elementary areas, calculating the probability of a striking element hitting each of these areas, estimating the probability of damage to each area considering the ballistic resistance diagrams of protective elements and the number of shots from a specific weapon, and determining based on this the probability of sustaining a combat injury from one or several types of weapons used simultaneously by the enemy. Unlike existing methods, this approach takes into account qualitative changes in the protection level of security forces personnel provided by protective elements depending on the characteristics of the enemy's weapons and the distance at which they are used.</em></p> <p><em>Using the improved method, probabilities of security forces personnel sustaining combat injuries during task execution were calculated based on the protective characteristics of individual protection equipment, as well as the characteristics and number of the enemy's small arms in a developed scenario.</em></p> <p><em>The calculations revealed that incorporating individual body armor in combat equipment may be impractical in situations where enemy fire conditions involve simultaneous use of multiple weapons against a single target. In certain operational conditions, individual body armor loses its significance in providing a specified level of survivability for security forces personnel. To assess the survivability of security forces personnel during task execution, it is essential to forecast the enemy's small arms and ammunition to identify critical distances for selecting protective elements of individual body armor with optimal protective characteristics, as well as the ratio of enemy weapons to designated targets.</em></p>Viktor PashchenkoOleksandr Bіlenko

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/332048
<p><em>With the beginning of large-scale hostilities and the involvement of a large number of Ukrainian military personnel in them, the issue of diagnosing and preventing combat stress has become acute. Manifestations of combat stress experienced by military personnel have many common features. Still, there are different forecasts regarding the persistence of negative consequences for the personality of military personnel, and various approaches are required to provide psychological assistance, the starting point of which is the differential diagnosis of such manifestations.</em></p> <p><em>The article describes the procedure for developing and standardizing the psychodiagnostic tool "Posttraumatic Stress Differentiation Questionnaire". The features of the Questionnaire creation and its testing on a sample of Ukrainian military personnel after participation in intensive combat operations are presented. The indicators of the internal consistency of the Questionnaire structure (α-Cronbach and intercorrelation) and its validity (correlation with the scales of psychodiagnostic tools) have been determined. The Questionnaire has been standardized for military personnel after intensive combat operations. The use of the Questionnaire allows you to identify and differentiate acute stress reactions and signs of post-traumatic stress disorder in personality after exposure to a traumatic event, taking into account a certain period. In addition, the developed Questionnaire allows you to form an idea of the presence of symptoms of moral trauma, such, which, unlike PTSD, arises not based on a life-threatening situation experienced, but based on destroyed ideas about one's morality.</em></p>Ihor PrykhodkoYanina MatsehoraNataliia Kucherenko

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/332049
<p><em>The rapid advancement of digital technologies presents new opportunities for economic, social, and cultural development while simultaneously generating numerous threats that negatively impact national security. Information security, as an integral part of national security, is a crucial element in countering modern threats, such as cyberattacks, information warfare, and disruptions in critical infrastructure. In this context, the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity (NCCC) plays a key role in coordinating, integrating, and managing measures aimed at ensuring state information security. The NCCC performs a range of vital functions, including cybersecurity threat monitoring, analysis of emerging trends in the cybersecurity domain, incident response, and the implementation of protective strategies. The center coordinates collaboration between government agencies, the private sector, academic institutions, and international partners. A significant focus is placed on developing security standards for critical information infrastructure, threat forecasting, and establishing effective cybersecurity mechanisms. The expansion of NCCC's responsibilities is accompanied by the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, process automation, and big data analytics for risk assessment. The center is also actively engaged in improving the legislative framework governing cybersecurity to align with international standards. Effective coordination between cybersecurity stakeholders minimizes redundancy and enhances the overall efficiency of the cybersecurity system.</em></p>Dmytro Prokopovych-Tkachenko Volodymyr ZvierievIhor Kozachenko

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/332051
<p><em>Based on the analysis of the modern NATO doctrine on land operations and other guiding publications, the ideas, principles and basic concepts used in military management in the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are systematized. The interpretation into Ukrainian military terminology reveals the main ideas and principles of the concepts of Command and Control, Manoeuvrist approach, Mission command, as well as the requirements for planning land operations.</em></p> <p><em>It is emphasized that the principles of warfare, operations, and combat are the most significant non-physical factor influencing the success of operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.</em></p> <p><em>In the leading publications of NATO member states, Command and Control is revealed as a complex concept that reflects, on the one hand, significant distinctive features of the system of thinking and activity of commanders, and on the other hand, the system of work of the headquarters of all levels of management.</em></p> <p><em>The cyclical planning process has been shown to be more important than adhering to plans in operations. It helps commanders understand problems and develop solutions to them. Planning keeps troops focused on creating the desired end conditions defined by the commander's intent, despite the complexity, variability, and contradictions of the current situation.</em> <em>Effective plans are those that encourage initiative and coordinate actions. </em></p> <p><em>The article presents the maneuverist approach as a key concept of the modern Western doctrine of land operations, which emphasizes understanding the situation and manipulating human nature, exploiting the enemy's vulnerabilities, using indirect and original methods of action, and minimizing losses. This approach offers quick results or results significantly greater than the resources employed, making it attractive to the quantitatively weaker side. It is based on the Mission Command</em> <em>philosophy.</em></p> <p><em>The main ideas and principles of the Mission Command were formulated and interpreted into Ukrainian military vocabulary, namely: special requirements for commanders; their ability to make independent decisions; orderly freedom of action and initiative, based on the commander's intent; trust and coherence; effective plans stimulate initiative; giving orders in the form of Mission-type orders.</em></p> <p><em>The conclusion states that the key intangible condition for victory over a numerically superior enemy is to avoid and eradicate the shortcomings of the totalitarian soviet concept of military command. This concept is overly centralized, where actions are allowed only if they are authorized.</em> <em>Creative operational thinking is replaced by templates, the authoritarian powers of the commander are not balanced by individual responsibility, critical assessments are unacceptable, and career success is based on loyalty and personal </em><em>"devotion" to the superior (commander) and only as an exception – on professional competence. Post-soviet approaches to management reject officers with critical and creative thinking.</em></p>Ihor RolinOleksandr AndroshchukIhor Morozov

<p><em>Based on the analysis of combat experience, the article highlights the tasks of reconnaissance in urban areas, the problems and solutions that arise during reconnaissance activities in urbanized areas. </em></p> <p><em>The authors also considered ways to improve the quality of task execution and to develop a unified approach to the targeted use of reconnaissance units in urban areas.</em></p> <p><em>The article analyzes the main tasks of reconnaissance during the period of preparation of an offensive in urban conditions, reconnaissance tasks in the development of the battle in the depth of the enemy’s defense line, the activation of reconnaissance operations after the end of the siege and in defeating the encircled enemy.</em></p> <p><em>It is noted that the information in the course of the battle must be clear to the attacking units and subunits in order to ensure the encirclement and bypass of enemy separate units and subunits.</em></p> <p><em>Particular attention is given by the authors of the article to the organization of reconnaissance units’ activities in modern conditions. This corresponds to the organizational and personnel structure of the reconnaissance units; the necessity of allocating a separate video surveillance unit equipped with special equipment, including for detecting underground tunnels; forming reconnaissance units that can use the roofs of multi-story buildings to penetrate into the rear of the enemy.</em></p> <p><em>The authors determine that the training of reconnaissance units for conducting combat operations in urban conditions requires the creation of special centers with an area of no less than a quarter of a large city, with full urban infrastructure. Such centers allow the training of reconnaissance units of various levels at the highest scientific and methodological level. </em></p> <p><em>The article analyzes the conditions and factors for the success of reconnaissance in urban conditions: careful planning, understanding of street fighting tactics, and the availability of specific information about the enemy’s use of technical means of warfare. </em></p>Serhii TrutnievVitalii Rudynskyi Ihor Tylichko

https://chiz.nangu.edu.ua/article/view/332058
<p><em>Recently, the use of armored wheeled vehicles by </em><em>the National Guard of Ukraine units when performing assigned tasks has been significantly increasing. But the performance of specific tasks related to the protection of public order requires special automotive equipment, which will be used to clear blockages and barricades during mass riots, to restrain crowds, isolate an area or area in the event of an emergency, etc. The existing armored wheeled vehicles do not fully meet all the needs of the National Guard of Ukraine units.</em></p> <p><em>The article substantiates the tactical requirements for a specialized armored wheeled vehicle </em><em>(AWV) </em><em>for </em><em>the National Guard of Ukraine </em><em>units for the protection of public order.</em> <em>In essence, the </em><em>AWV</em><em> must be protected from the use of weapons and explosive devices. In addition, despite the increase in mass, the </em><em>AWV</em><em> must be resistant to overturning and lateral skidding, and must also have the overall dimensions of the rolling stock, which make it possible to easily fit into road dimensions and maneuver in urban and confined spaces, and must meet the basic overall parameters of cross-country ability.</em> <em>To overcome natural obstacles, the suspension system must have adjustable clearance, and the transmission of the special </em><em>AWV</em><em> must be designed with the requirements of an off-road vehicle.</em></p> <p><em>One of the solutions is to create a special four-axle AWV with two turntables. A variant of the layout of a four-axle armored wheeled vehicle with two turntables is proposed, which meets these requirements. The central part in ensuring the specified high maneuverability indicators is the modular design of the electromechanical transmission. The transmission module includes two separate electric motors connected to two planetary step gearboxes.</em></p> <p><em>3D models and general characteristics of the turntable and four-axle AWV with two turntables are presented. A full-scale model of this wheeled vehicle is presented.</em></p>Hennadii YarovyiStanislav HorielyshevAnton Yeremenko
