Abstract

The article presents a method of determining the optimal contributions of services (branches) of troops in the successful solution of combat tasks with the established value of prevented damage provided that the necessary costs are minimized, which is part of the methodological apparatus of substantiation and determination of contributions of services (branches) of troops to the required level of combat capability of Armed Forces (AF) of Ukraine during their use (repulse of armed aggression).The need to develop a method is caused by the lack of methodological apparatus to substantiate and determine the contributions of services (branches) of troops to the required level of combat capability of the Armed Forces (AF) of Ukraine, which is confirmed by the results of the analysis. Research of scientific works devoted to the theory of construction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has shown that they mainly cover issues related to the training and application of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in particular: determining the forms and methods of application, composition of services (branches) of troops and more.At the same time, in some works the issue of determining the contributions of services (branches) of troops in the combat capability of the created group (combat order) of military formations is to some extent disclosed, but rather indirectly (episodically) and reduced to covering the physical meaning of the theory of prevented damage of troops during operations. (combat actions).The proposed method of determining the optimal contributions of services (branches) of troops in the successful solution of combat tasks with a set amount of prevented damage provided that the necessary costs are minimized is based on the optimization problem of distribution of contributions of the j-th type of the Armed Forces or the general contribution to the destruction of all our troops to damage all means of the enemy to achieve the required level of combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during their use (repulse of armed aggression) with the established amount of prevented damage.The advantage of the proposed method is the formulated provisions for determining contributions in various forms - taking into account both the combat capabilities of certain services (branches) of troops, and the cost of their creation and use.The method of determining the optimal contributions of services (branches) of troops in the successful solution of combat tasks with a established value of prevented damage, while minimizing the necessary costs, which is part of the methodological apparatus of substantiation and determination of contributions of services (branches) of troops to the required level of combat capability of Armed Forces of Ukraine during their application (repulse of armed aggression) made for its further use by officials of the governing bodies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Armed Forces, as well as the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to plan the staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, forces and means of the tasks forces, determining of prospects for the development of a particular type (genus) of troops, etc.Prospects for further research are related to the development of recommendations for substantiating the contributions of services (branches) of troops to the required level of combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during their application (repulse of armed aggression).
