Abstract

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine in 2016 approved the Defense Policy Action Plan for 2016-2020, which determined the consistent implementation of tasks for department of the Ministry of Defense ofUkraineand the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to implement NATO principles and standards. The aim of the study is to examine the nature and peculiarities of NATO standards and the peculiarities of military command systems according to NATO principles and standards. It should be noted that in modern scientific publications, despite their extreme necessity, there is little published material about the peculiarities of the models of the armed forces of the NATO member states. Glen Grant, a British military expert who has worked for a long time inUkraine, claims that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are at the very beginning of the path towards the implementation of NATO standards. The army is very skillful in what it does now, but it did not work out a transition to another style of warfare, as theUnited Statesis doing now, because it lacks the proper doctrine, equipment and training. The notion of a mobile army is absent at all levels of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article examines the basic structure of the NATO brigade headquarters, consisting of the following elements: personal commander's headquarters; coordination headquarters; special headquarters; Executive Officer - Deputy Commander. Headquarters work out recommendations to the commander for decision making, prepare plans and orders for him, organize and maintain interaction with senior and subordinate staffs, with those who support and with whom the connection is supported. The fundamental difference in the structure of the headquarters of NATO armies from the post-Soviet model is the division of the sections (structural elements) of the headquarters into its functions under the command of the officers of the headquarters, which perform coordination, special tasks and manage subordinate personnel. The implementation of NATO Army standards by the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not only a waiver of the standards in force in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but involves the complete replacement of the model of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the development of the latest forms and methods of construction, application planning, comprehensive provision and management of troops (forces) in peacetime and wartime.
