The Problems of Using Artificial Intelligence in Military Management

As a state-of-the-art technology, artificial intelligence (AI) claims a key role in improving the well-being and living conditions of human society, as well as in the sustainable development of the global economy, increasing productivity and effectively solving universal problems. Increasingly, questions are also being discussed about the influence of AI — as a new determinant of the balance of power — on the conditions for achieving and maintaining peace in individual regions and around the world. Therefore, the study of modern trends in the use of AI for military purposes (in particular, in the system of military command), as well as the discussion of issues about the possibilities, features and problems of its prospective use, are of great importance in terms of specifying the main guidelines for the preservation and development of the military potential of the state in modern conditions.The purpose of the article is to discuss the application of AI technologies in military control as in terms of possible advantages, and in the aspect of the significant risks associated with the use of AI in the military sphere, and which are universal existential in nature and can have a direct impact on the long-term future of human society — world war between major powers, the possibility of nuclear conflict, and the likelihood of AI spiralling out of control.The theoretical basis for the study was the scientific works of both Armenian and Russian and Western authors.The main research methods are comparative analysis based on observations of various examples of the use of AI in military control and the method of scientific induction, updated taking into account the pragmatic factor (the method of logical inference confirmed by facts).As the results of the study, the article presents the main risks that are possible when using AI for military purposes. In particular, we are talking about a world war between major powers, the likelihood of a nuclear conflict and the withdrawal of AI from control. All these risks are universal existential in nature and can have a direct impact on the long-term future of human society. Some important circumstances and factors are also presented that force more attention to policies to neutralize the risks of using AI in the field of military administration.The conclusions justify the need to comply with the “safety rule” for the use of AI. The formation of a legal framework and relevant infrastructures for this should take place much earlier than the actual use of AI; otherwise, the consequences can be negative rather than positive.

THE ESSENCE OF MANAGEMENT COMPETENCE OF FUTURE OFFICERS

In today’s conditions of full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, the managerial competence level of the Armed Forces of Ukraine officers becomes especially important. The definition of the “management competence of the future officer” essence remains insufficiently researched. The article based on the conducted theoretical analysis clarifies the essence of the managerial competence concept of the future officer as an integrated component of professional competence, which determines his ability to perform effective military management activities in peacetime and wartime on the basis of acquired knowledge, abilities, skills, personal and professional qualities.

Military managers and earnings management

AbstractIn a developing market, where the ownership is highly concentrated and the central governance issue is the conflict between majority and minority shareholders, how do managers with previous military experience (military managers) affect the quality of financial reporting? We use a sample of Chinese listed firms over period 2006–2016, with a total of 16,010 firm‐year observations. Our results suggest that firms with military managers are associated with higher levels of earnings management, through both accrual‐based and real‐activities manipulations. Those firms are more susceptible to financial restatements, qualified audit opinions, and penalties for violation. To alleviate endogeneity problems, we use both the instrumental variable regression and propensity score matching, and our results are robust. In addition, the effect of military managers is more pronounced in state‐owned firms and firms with weak internal control systems. These findings improve our understanding of the link between managerial traits and financial reporting decisions, in an environment where the major governance issue is the conflict between majority and minority shareholders.

Application of «Big Data» technologies for storage, processing and analysis of data in the process of army management

In today's world, the increase in the volume and variety of data used in the process of military management leads to an increase in the requirements for their storage and processing. To effectively manage military operations, it is necessary to have information about various aspects of military activity, such as the location of military units, the availability of resources, the assessment of potential threats, and much more. Modern military operations require the processing and analysis of a large amount of data generated in real time. Data collected from sensors, satellites, probes, sensors, and other sources can be vast in volume and diverse in structure. The increase in the volume and heterogeneity of data used in the process of military management leads to an increase in the requirements for their storage and processing. This presents military organizations with the task of creating effective and reliable data storage and processing systems. The article considers the possibilities of using «Big Data» technology, which allow collecting, storing, processing and analyzing large volumes of various data in real time. The use of modern data management technologies can help increase the efficiency of military activities and ensure fast and accurate decision-making at various levels of management. This can be achieved through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analysis technologies that can help military structures perform calculations and forecasts, optimize the use of resources and increase the efficiency of solving various tasks. Also, an important component of the effective use of «Big Data» technologies in the military sphere is ensuring the protection of data from unauthorized access, as well as ensuring the reliability and stability of data storage and processing systems in the face of possible cyberattacks. The article analyzes the Hadoop system, which can be used to store, process and analyze «Big Data» in the military sphere.

The Activities of Military Management Bodies to Mobilize Military Builders to Create an Insurmountable Defense on the Kursk Arc

Administrative and legal forms of ensuring public safety and public order by the state military administrations of Ukraine under the conditions of the legal regime of martial law

The article singles out and discloses the content of the seven main administrative and legal forms of activity of the military administrations of Ukraine regarding the provision of public safety and public order in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. Attention is focused on the debatable understanding of the categories "public safety" and "public order".
 It has been proven that military administrations solve a number of tasks in the field of ensuring public safety and public order. The practical difficulty of their implementation lies in the fact that they involve the simultaneous implementation of a complex of executive-administrative power measures. These actions are covered by the concept of "administrative-legal form". Based on the generalization of the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine on the legal regime of martial law, the content of such forms as: general organizational activity, implementation of administrative-regime work, organization of administrative-pass regime, implementation of administrative-social work, implementation of administrative-mobilization measures, implementation of administrative and security activities, organization and implementation of information and generalization work within the framework of the implementation of measures to ensure public safety and public order.
 It was noted that over the past year, Ukraine has accumulated some experience in the implementation of executive powers by military administrations, including in the sector of ensuring public safety and order. Thanks to this, the scientific community received a significant boost for critical understanding of the regulatory support of the mentioned processes. In particular, we believe that the legislative definition of public safety and public order needs to be further improved in terms of their differentiation as two related but substantively different categories. Thanks to this, the national system of military management receives the prerequisites for increasing its own potential in terms of fulfilling the tasks and functions assigned by the law.

The decomposition of the deep learning machine for specialized datasets for time minimizing of spatial information processing

For effective military management, the creation of complexes of automation tools, spatial information processing systems, primarily consolidated, is a priority task in the conditions of constant growth of data and requirements for their collection, transmission, storage, processing and use.
 The problem of consolidated processing of spatial information is related to the diversity of sources, the diversity of data formats, the diversity of acquisition and use, the diversity of processing etc. All that imply an extremely complex organizational and technical structure, a kind of ‘system of systems’.
 Deep Learning Machine (DLM) ensure the high accuracy of prediction. But such DLM should be matched for the military conditions of the usage where time restrictions and space lack are present.
 So, the effort to create a dataset for the maximum accuracy of the Deep Learning Machine rests on computing resources (in common research it is possible to overcome but in military sphere it isn’t). In military applied tasks, the criterion of time and overcoming uncertainties due to confrontation are critical. This allows us to put forward the hypothesis that it is impossible to achieve absolute accuracy in deep learning machine. Therefore, for variable tactical situations, it is advisable to create specialized datasets and achieve maximum efficiency from each iteration step (or their combination) using the decomposition method of the consolidated spatial information processing system. It is analysed the methods of scientific and technical solutions in the deep learning machine and the method of systematizing data types in existing tactical situations. In the end the detection and recognition system with a deep learning machine and a set of specialized datasets is proposed in the paper.
 The volume of each specialized dataset at the level of 103 enables ultra-high speed of information processing processes and allows a person to set up such a system of consolidated processing of spatial information without excessive organizational and time demands. The dataset itself is revealed.
 This principle of forming a dataset, or their sets, allows obtaining high-accurate and high -fast detection and recognition systems.

The article covers the highlighted experience of using the case method as an element of an educational session in order to improve the assimilation of educational material during the teaching of educational disciplines of the Department of Logistics with the aim of future border guard officers’ competencies formation regarding the organization of military (ship) management in the units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The research found that in order to form the competences of future border guard officers regarding the organization and management of the military (ship) economy, it is expedient to consider (to use) cases as events that actually took place in the state border protection bodies and units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and can be the basis for discussion during classes. The created list of circumstances related to violations of legislation in the field of financial and economic activity and their consequences gave teachers the opportunity to use them as real examples that took place in the everyday activities of state border protection bodies and units regarding the organization and management of the military (ship) economy. The analysis of scientific literature, the experience of the scientific and pedagogical staff of the Department of Logistics, consultations with active officers who carry out the organization and management of the military (ship) economy in the bodies and units of the state border protection of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine made it possible to form a list of information materials on the basis of which situational tasks can be updated for filling cases. Also, the research established that the dynamics of the possibilities of the case method during its application in the educational disciplines of the Department of Logistics will be positive if the necessary pedagogical conditions are applied, as well as criteria capable of providing future officers with the necessary competence in the organization and management of military (ship) economy in the units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. Key words: case method, military (ship) management, competencies, future officers, pedagogical conditions.

The Conflict in Ukraine: Medical and Psychological Aspects

This mini-review analyzes medical and psychological aspects of the conflict in Ukraine. If the global power shifts to Russia, it may come along with losses of certain values. The quality of many services, products and foodstuffs will decline. Autocratic or military management style will gain sway also in the healthcare and science. Attributes of this style include the lack of criticism and objective discussion, paternalistic approach to patients, bossy management and occasional disregard of the principle of informed consent. Suboptimal practices have been used as per instructions and leading experts’ publications. To name but a few: the overuse of Halsted and Patey mastectomy with excision of pectoral muscles, coagulation of endocervical ectopies without cyto- or histological check for precancerous changes, parabulbar injections of placebos, extensive gastric resections for peptic ulcers, thoracic and abdominal surgery for bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus, overuse of surgery in tuberculosis. Psychological issues related to the Ukraine conflict are discussed here. Repressed shame may cause aggression. Some topics discussed in this article are associated with shame, summarily reflected by the comparatively low life expectancy and world highest abortion rate in Russia. Instead of machismo and militarism, the propaganda should popularize the image of scrupulous and hardworking people.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЗАСОБІВ ІМІТАЦІЙНОГО МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ БОЙОВИХ ДІЙ У ПРОЦЕСІ ПІДГОТОВКИ ОФІЦЕРІВ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ГВАРДІЇ УКРАЇНИ

The main problematic issues in the training of officers of the tactical and operational levels of the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) are the lack of a sense of the dynamics of the development of events in real time when performing the tasks of the CPX training, which reduces the quality of coordination of the headquarters (military management bodies) of the NGU; lack of functional compatibility between NGU and military formations of NATO member countries for the training of military management personnel. A promising way to improve the process of officer training is the use of means of simulating combat operations, on the basis of which it is necessary to conduct practical classes and CPX training, as well as various activities within the framework of international cooperation. The article deals with the training of officers of the tactical and operational level and the conduct of military training of units of the NGU with the use of means of simulating combat operations. Reasoned purpose, structure and main tasks of the simulation modeling center of NSU as part of the National Academy of the NGU. The simulation modeling center of NGU will consist of two research departments and a department of software and technical support and maintenance. In addition, the structure and tasks of the stationary and mobile components of the simulation modeling center of NSU are given. The center's specialized software is based on the JCATS simulation system. The JCATS simulation system is a multi-functional, interactive, multi-level system used by the military and other government organizations as a tool for training, analysis, research, planning and practice for a variety of tasks. The capabilities of the JCATS simulation modeling system and the concept of conducting CPX training in accordance with the specifics of the service and combat activities of units and parts of the NGU were considered. Conducting exercises using combat simulation tools is aimed at practicing the practical skills of commanding troops in a constantly changing environment. Modeling is possible at the level of an individual soldier to NGU brigades. The proposed proposals for the creation and implementation of means of simulating combat operations will allow solving both educational tasks related to the training of tactical and operational level officers, as well as scientific and research tasks.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of regulatory and legal regulation of the activity of the fuel and lubricant supply service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The official duties of the officials of the fuel and lubricant supply service are determined by the Statutes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the order of the Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine dated June 24, 2008 No. 544 "On the approval of the Guidelines on the provision of fuel to the bodies of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine", as well as the order of the Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine of the Border Service of Ukraine dated December 21, 2020 No. 134 "On the approval of the Advisor on military (ship) management of the State Border Service of Ukraine." The review of the regulatory legal support of the fuel and lubricant supply service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine made it possible to establish that the duties of the officials of the fuel and lubricant supply service include tasks related to: monitoring the quality and proper use of fuel, planning the necessary efficiency measures and feasibility of using and saving fuel; organization of maintenance, improvement and operation of fuel warehouses, filling stations and other subordinate fuel service facilities in accordance with current regulatory documents; ensuring proper use, maintenance and storage of technical means; organization and maintenance of accounting and reporting on fuel service; collection, delivery and proper use of spent oil products, etc. The procedure for performing these tasks must be regulated by relevant departmental acts. At the same time, the governing documents of the State Border Service of Ukraine and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine do not define the procedure for performing the specified tasks. According to the authors, it is the task that regulates the order and conditions of storage of fuel and lubricant materials, special liquids at fuel warehouses and filling stations; tasks of fuel quality control; maintenance of technical means of the fuel and lubricant supply service are fundamentally important for the high-quality organization of the activities of state border protection units and must be regulated for the high-quality performance of official duties by officials of the State Border Service of Ukraine, who are assigned the tasks of organizing and managing the military (ship) economy.

Запобігання корупції в органах військового управління як соціальна та безпекова проблема

B a c k g r o u n d . The functioning of the military management system in the conditions of a high-intensity armed conflict, the failure to pay sufficient attention to the issues of state-wide and departmental anti-corruption control periodically leads to an increase in the level of threats to the life and health of the personnel of military formations. This determines the need to overcome a number of social and security problems and serves as confirmation of the need for their research. The purpose and task of the article is to determine the essence of preventing corruption in military administration bodies as a social and security problem. M e t h o d s . The methods of analysis and synthesis were used to single out the two most problematic spheres of legal relations under the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. The semantic method and the modeling method made it possible to formulate the concept of preventing corruption in the military administration and the effectiveness of the use of funds to solve the tasks of repelling Russian armed aggression. R e s u l t s . It was found that the prevention of corruption in military administration bodies as a social problem represents a reduction in the destructive impact of corruption manifestations on social relations. The concept of the effectiveness of the use of funds and means to solve the tasks of repelling Russian armed aggression is defined as the maximum success of military operations for the deoccupation of Ukrainian lands with the simultaneous maximum preservation of the lives and health of servicemen. C o n c l u s i o n s . The concept of preventing corruption in military administration bodies is defined as a complex multi-component type of activity involving a large number of state institutions, non-governmental organizations, media, international organizations and foreign institutions, aimed at creating institutional and organizational conditions for the effective functioning of the Defense Forces, ensuring effective repulsion of Russian armed aggression and deoccupation of Ukrainian territories. The existence of a self-regulatory mechanism for ensuring security in the researched area, which functions thanks to the potential of Ukrainian civil society and international procedures of democratic civilian control in the defense sector, was established.

The relevance of this work is due to the fact that in recent years the communication forces have been constantly developing and equipped with the latest digital means of communication, which allows them to successfully perform their assigned tasks. Today, information and communication systems that are deployed at the control points of various branches of management ensure the implementation of priority tasks for the management of troops. Functionally, the communication system and information systems are deployed at control points as a single information and communication environment based on the implementation of the latest information and communication technologies, information exchange protocols, complexes, systems and means of communication, which ensures the exchange of all types of information between bodies military management (management bodies) and control points at all levels of management. An active communication system ensures the exchange of information with guaranteed security in a single information space as a set of material functions (including personnel and other resources) that combine to perform a certain task. In turn, information systems, as a set of equipment, methods and procedures, and, if necessary, personnel organized to perform information processing functions operate in accordance with a defined structure, namely: - services, in the context of communication and information systems; - architecture, in the context of communication and information systems; - functions in the context of service-oriented architecture; - interoperability; - information protection and cyber protection. It is clear that the more important the object of management, the more capacious flow of information can be directed to it. This allows the adversary/attacker to identify the most important targets and direct other types of information to them or suppress them in various ways. Thus, in the interests of ensuring cyber protection of electronic information resources, communication and technological systems of the control points of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the technological infrastructure of cyber protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been deployed and is functioning, which is a component of the unified system of information protection and cyber protection in the information and communication systems of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In these conditions, to solve the tasks of preventing unwanted interventions, disruption of the stable functioning of the information and communication environment at control points, counterweights in obtaining confidential information, data theft, and other minimally necessary components of the cyber protection infrastructure are deployed. The main components of the relevant technological infrastructure of cyber protection are the security information event management system (SIEM), the threat information exchange platform (Malware Information Sharing Platform & Threat Sharing, MISP), the centralized management system of inter-network screens and the system for detecting and countering cyber threats. including computer viruses on end equipment. Therefore, solving the tasks of ensuring cyber protection in the course of deployment and operation of electronic communication networks and communication services at the control points of various branches of management turns out to be quite a serious and urgent task.

The basis of troop management is the commander’s decision, developed on the basis of information received from various sources in a single information space, including using interoperable communication systems / networks and information systems. In turn, the concept of “network” in modern wars covers various components that were previously considered only separately, and between which information exchange must be carried out constantly, for example: combat units (combat vehicles, weapons, units, etc.), communication systems, information operations support, disparate sources of intelligence, logistics and medical information systems, etc. That is, in order to conduct modern wars and gain an advantage over the enemy, the armed forces must use a single information space built on interoperable networks / communication systems that provide secure exchange of information between them, to increase general situational awareness and control of troops (forces) [1]. The development of information technologies has a direct impact on the communication system, which is, after all, the main element of the military management system. Increasing bandwidth, implementing specialized software, and using elements of artificial intelligence significantly expands the capabilities of management processes and increases the toolkit of situational awareness, calculations, situation modeling, and effective forecasting of the situation. A unified, integral, stable and reliable information and communication system in the modern conflict directly allows the application of the model of network-centric warfare, focused on achieving an information advantage by means of combining military objects into an information network.

ПРОБЛЕМНІ ПИТАННЯ СТВОРЕННЯ ТА ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ АВТОМАТИЗОВАНОГО НАВЧАЛЬНОГО КОМАНДНОГО ПУНКТУ У НАВЧАЛЬНИЙ ПРОЦЕС ВИЩОГО ВІЙСЬКОВОГО НАВЧАЛЬНОГО ЗАКЛАДУ

The most important reserve for increasing the effectiveness of the military management activities of the commander and headquarters of the unit in the preparation of combined arms combat is to provide the command and control body with more complete, reliable and operational information about the situation and conditions of hostilities and, on this basis, conduct high-quality and quick analysis to form a plan of action, get ahead of the enemy and achieving surprise. A promising way to improve the process of military decision-making by command and control units is the introduction of a decision support system. The decision support system is the central component of the automated command and control system that adequately reflects the real conditions, means of armed struggle and takes into account the laws of their functioning and mutual relations between them. The article deals with the issues of creating and introducing into the educational process an automated training command post for command and control of troops and subunits. On the basis of the simulation class of the academy, a project of an automated TCP control unit (subdivision) was developed, which makes it possible to automatically reproduce the process of making a military decision by G/S-structural units of the headquarters of a military formation according to NATO standards in an automated mode using a PC-based workstation. It is proposed to build a local network using a mixed type topology: "ring" and "passive star". Such a network structure simplifies the procedure for increasing the number of workstations and facilitates the maintenance and operation of the TCP. The composition of the tactical control unit includes a server, workstations of officers of the structural divisions of the headquarters, multi-channel communication consoles and an interactive whiteboard. The minimum requirements for the proposed network architecture are substantiated. It is shown that a geographic information system is a necessary component of the automated workplace, which implements a full set of functions for working with geodata necessary for a military command and control body. This was done on the basis of the Arc View GIS software package version 3.3. The list of capabilities of the proposed hardware-software complex of the TCP allows us to assert that this complex meets the requirements of at least a class C2 automated control system. The benefits of the implementation of the TCP are in the growth of the volume of information that the staff officers analyze, the high quality and reliability of the data, the comprehensive validity of the conclusions and proposals made, the reduction in the time spent on assessing the situation and making informed rational decisions throughout all seven stages of the standardized MDMP process.

The conducted SWOT analysis made it possible to develop problematic issues that are proposed during the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles, proposals were made for the creation of a mobile complex of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on the chassis of a truck. Formulation of the problem. During hostilities, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were widely used. The massive use of the latest robotic (automated) weapons and military equipment on the battlefield is changing the nature of units' actions. Currently, almost every combat unit has a UAV application group. The high efficiency of their use is confirmed by high results on the battlefield. The security and defense forces of Ukraine are armed with dozens of types of UAVs for various purposes and with various capabilities for lifting cargo and carrying explosives. The use of UAV combat units in the field. Launches of lethal vehicles are carried out by hand or with the help of launch devices. With this mobile application group, the BPLA, although it is at a distance from the line of the next combat encounter, does not have sufficient security and protection from enemy fire. Preparation for use, maintenance of UAVs and charging of batteries in stationary conditions the day before, which reduces the efficiency of actions.The deployment of mobile groups of UAV operators is carried out on vehicles that are available to the military unit at the time, and which are not adapted for the high-quality performance of the combat mission by the group. UAV operators and equipment are not protected from exposure to low ambient temperatures and have no protection from small arms and shrapnel damage. Time indicators of deployment on the terrain of the complex for launching UAVs and folding after the completion of a combat mission need improvement. Analysis of recent research and publications. Scientific studies on improving the actions of units equipped with UAVs were carried out in the National Guard even before the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. For example, in [1-2], data are given regarding the need for intelligence information and the development of a rational procedure for the use of intelligence unmanned aerial vehicles. In [3], the methodological apparatus for researching the problems of using information technologies and telecommunication systems in the process of military management is presented. The purpose of the article is to justify the need to create a mobile complex for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on a truck chassis. Provide recommendations on the creation of a mobile complex for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.

In the article, taking into account threats and risks that are faced by the information security of Ukraine as a whole and structures that are subordinated to the Ministry of Defense, in particular, the content of the main forms of administration of information security and the implementation of digital transformation is distinguished. The essence of such forms of administration as: 1) ensuring the formation of a state policy on national security in the military sphere, defense and military construction in peacetime and a special period in terms of digital transformation, information technology, automation, informatization and information security in the peaceful time. 2) formation and organization of execution of defense reform tasks in terms of digital transformation issues, introduction of information technology, automation, informatization and information security; 3) organization, coordination and control of support for forces and means of information security within the framework of the implementation of the defense tasks of Ukraine; 4) implementation of other tasks and functions assigned to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in terms of digital transformation, information technologies, automation, informatization and information security. In a particular order characteristics of legal status and subordination of the Directorate of Digital Transformation and Information Security Directorate in the Defense of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine are characterized. It is substantiated that the normative support of departmental activities to ensure the information security of the Ministry of Defense is only initiated and in need of development. In this regard, one of the main tasks of modern legal science is to develop proposals to improve the normative basis for providing a digital transformation and information security in the system of armed forces of Ukraine and the apparatus of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Key words: Ukraine, Defense, Armed Forces of Ukraine, Information Security, Digital Transformation, Military Management Authorities, Security.

ПІДХОДИ ДО ЗАПРОВАДЖЕННЯ ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ СИСТЕМИ СТІЙКОСТІ У ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ОРГАНІВ ДЕРЖАВНОГО І ВІЙСЬКОВОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ

The article is devoted to the analysis of prospects for the introduction of the national system of stability and its individual elements based on the implementation of a risk-oriented approach in the activities of state and military management bodies. The article established that one of the ways to solve the problems related to the introduction of the national sustainability system is to ensure the unity of conceptual approaches and principles of activity of the subjects of ensuring national sustainability. Currently, the unity of conceptual approaches and principles of activity of subjects of ensuring national stability has not been applied in modern scientific research. Various methods of assessing risks and threats are not implemented in state and military administration bodies. And therefore, the question of systematization and generalization of the process of introducing national stability based on the application of known approaches to this process in state and military administration bodies becomes urgent. It was determined that the risk assessment methodology in different countries is not the same. According to the results of the study of the best global practices, six main stages of the relevant work can be distinguished, namely: identification of the greatest threats to national security (screening); in-depth analysis of possible consequences, development of scenario forecasts, modeling; assessment of opportunities, identification of vulnerabilities; complex mapping, geospatial support; distribution of risk assessment results, visualization; monitoring and re-assessment of risks taking into account the experience gained (lessons learned). The identified main approaches are aimed at ensuring the ability of the state and society to timely identify threats, identify vulnerabilities and assess risks to national security, prevent or minimize their negative effects, respond effectively and quickly and fully recover after the occurrence of threats or emergency and crisis situations of all kinds; allow to systematize and generalize the process of introducing national stability in state and military administration bodies and can be implemented at the strategic, operational, tactical level of management in the National Guard of Ukraine. It is advisable to direct further research to the systematization and generalization of known methods of identifying and assessing threats and vulnerabilities, assessing risks and the state of relevant opportunities.
