Challenges of resilience training for military personnel in the Lithuanian Armed Forces

Resilience is a complex phenomenon that results from the natural human response to adapt to change through the ability to cope with or respond to threats. In today’s security challenges, military personnel are responsible for the defense of their country, and exposure to unfamiliar situations can harm the ability of military personnel to perform successfully. Therefore, this study aims to identify the challenges in resilience training for the Lithuanian Armed Forces military personnel. The study uses a qualitative research method and an in-depth interview. Eight military psychologists participated in the study. The selection criteria for the informants were currently employed/serving in the military with at least five years of experience and participating in resilience training. The results revealed that there has been significant recent attention to and need for resilience training in the Lithuanian Armed Forces, but that resilience development is fragmented. The findings show that the lack of a unified concept of resilience in the Lithuanian Armed Forces complicates the development of a unified resilience training system. Summarizing the organizational aspects of resilience training for military personnel in the Lithuanian Armed Forces, the following key challenges were identified. There is a lack of leadership support for resilience education; the need for the development of trainers or responsible persons involved in resilience education; the lack of a clear perception of the value of resilience education among trainers; the need for unification and systematization of the education system through the updating/creation of the use of a system for feedback and evaluation.

Psychological aspects of ensuring a positive public perception of the army

The study is dedicated to examining the psychological approaches to ensuring a positive image of the army by society, which is crucial in the context of contemporary socio-political changes and conflicts. Given the increasing importance of national security, forming a positive image of the Armed Forces is essential for maintaining the morale of the population and ensuring their support for military operations. In the course of the study, theoretical analysis of literature and content analysis of media materials were used to explore the psychological approaches to ensuring a positive perception of the military by society. The research showed that forming this image is a complex task that requires coordinated efforts from state institutions, military structures, and the media. The application of psychological technologies, such as information-psychological operations and PR campaigns, as well as the integration of the military into cultural and social projects, significantly enhances the effectiveness of these efforts. Developing communication strategies aimed at different social groups, including youth, the elderly, veterans, and the families of military personnel, allows for more accurate consideration of the psychological characteristics and needs of each group, contributing to more effective formation of a positive perception. Systematic research on public opinion and psychological reactions to various aspects of military service and the activities of the Armed Forces is necessary for timely identification of problem areas and adjustment of communication strategies. An important component is also the psychological training of military personnel, aimed at developing their communication skills, stress resilience, and ability to interact effectively with the civilian population. The use of modern information technologies and new media to disseminate information about the activities of the Armed Forces ensures broad audience coverage and increases trust in military structures. Therefore, ensuring a positive perception of the military by society is a multidimensional task that contributes to strengthening national security, boosting the morale of the population, and forming a stable social environment in the face of contemporary challenges.

Modern Power Problems Training of Military Officers of Special Purpose Units

Topicality. The growing requirements for the level of functional capabilities of the body of servicemen of special purpose units require scientists, together with specialists from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to develop effective mechanisms for improving the system of military training. The Goal of the Work. Studying the problem of the feasibility of implementing the results of modern research on adaptive changes in the body in the conditions of different load regimes into the process of military training of military personnel of special purpose units. Research Methods. The work uses a theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature and a sociological survey method. 25 physical training instructors in the Armed Forces and 84 servicemen of special purpose units (SPUs) took part in the study. The key issues were related to military training in the Armed Forces. A comparative analysis of the answers of instructors and servicemen with the results of research by leading scientists studying modern mechanisms for improving power capabilities was carried out. Research Results. It was established that the results of the survey of physical training instructors in the Armed Forces and military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in matters related to the use of control methods for adaptive changes in the body and load correction mechanisms do not fully correspond to the data presented by modern, mostly foreign scientists. Thus, in the modern system of force training of foreign armies, physiological, morphofunctional and biochemical methods of controlling adaptive changes in the body are actively used, and in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as the results of our survey showed, only the heart rate indicator. Also, the Armed Forces do not use methods of quantitative assessment of force load parameters, which does not allow for the development of optimal load regimes for each category of servicemen. Conclusions. On the basis of the conducted research, it can be stated that the instructors and servicemen of the PSP who participated in the survey only minimally realize the potential that can be obtained in the process of military training. The absence of a mechanism for developing optimal load modes, their correction, and integral control of adaptive changes in the body will not allow to selectively increase the maximum strength or strength endurance indicators of the relevant muscle groups necessary for the implementation of combat tasks in a short period of time.

Advantages of team sports during the physical training of future border guards

Professional training of military personnel is one of the most urgent problems today. Physical training of border guards is defined as one of the most important indicators of professionalism and is the basis of their professional activity. The high role given to physical training in the educational process of departmental educational institutions during the period of their training and retraining is due to the fact that the professional activity of border guards is directly related to various situations that make high demands on the physical fitness of border guards, their personal, moral-willed, mental and intellectual qualities. The use of team sports in the training of military personnel can be a key element in maximizing their potential. The use of team sports is an important component of physical fitness, as it not only promotes the development of physical skills, but also builds key communication and social skills. Active participation in team sports involves systematic physical activity, which contributes to the improvement of general health and well-being. Team games help foster the values of team cooperation and interaction. These sports also help build leadership skills, foster commitment to a common goal, and teach effective teamwork. In a team environment, players learn to work toward a common goal, support each other's strengths, and compensate for each other's weaknesses. Team exercises can be used to achieve specific physical goals, such as improving coordination, developing endurance and increasing strength, while aspects of cooperation and understanding also become important exceptions during classes. The article analyzes the possibility of using the full potential of team games during the physical training of cadets.

Content and Structure of Formation of Readiness of Future Physical Training and Sports Instructors for Professional activity

Today's realities require high professional training from servicemen of institutions of the security and defense sector of Ukraine (SDSU). This is achieved by a balanced and step-by-step organization of the training system for representatives of the studied category. The leading link in the training of military personnel of various categories is played by instructors, who are carriers of the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In addition, the instructors for the types of professional training are carriers of combat experience, which significantly increases the quality of training of military personnel of various categories. In the context of theoretical research, it is appropriate to highlight that in the military units of the NGU, practical classes in physical and special physical training are in the vast majority provided by full-time instructors in physical training and sports (PTS). In view of the above, the importance of individual methodical and practical preparation of the representatives of the studied category in the direction of their organization of forms of physical training is monitored. According to the results of the monitoring of the scientific literature, it is appropriate to state that insufficient number of scientific works are devoted to the urgent issue of organizing the system of professional education of future instructors in PTS for the needs of the institutions of the SDSU.
 Research methods: idealization, formalization, axiomatic, historical and logical, descent from concrete. As a result of the research, we determined the essential characteristics of the formation of the readiness of future instructors in PTS for professional activity.

Methodological aspects of justifying the specialists training duration of the armed forces branches of a formation (unit)

In the study, the duration of training of specialists in the branches of the armed forces of a formation (unit) refers to the amount of training time or the number of training hours required to achieve the required level of training of specialists in the relevant categories (profiles), primarily those that determine the combat capability of the formation (unit). The current conditions of armed struggle place increased demands on the level of training of troops (forces). At the same time, during a special period, this training can be carried out under conditions of significant resource, including time, constraints, which requires military command and control bodies (commanders) to take a balanced and comprehensively justified approach to planning training and building the training process of troops (forces). Thus, the experience of combat operations once again confirms the need to address one of the most important and problematic issues - to ensure that the amount of training time allocated for the training of specialists in formations (units) and in training centres (schools) meets real needs. Failure to address this issue has a negative impact on the development of the knowledge, skills, physical and psychological qualities required in a combat situation, and thus on the combat capability of the unit. At present, in units and training centres (schools), the amount of training time required for certain military specialities (positions) is determined mainly based on military experience, by comparing different forms and methods of training, and without the necessary analytical justification. Therefore, the relevance of this study is precisely due to the need to scientifically substantiate the amount of training time that would ensure both the required level of training of specialists in the relevant categories (profiles) and the appropriate level of training and combat capability of units of the branches of the military and the formation (unit) as a whole. The purpose of the article is to outline the methodological aspects of substantiating the duration of training of specialists in the branches of the military forces of a formation (unit). With the help of the above methodological aspects, it is possible to analytically express the process of training specialists of any category (profile) through a function of the type, which characterises the dependence of the achieved level of training of these specialists on the number of training hours during which servicemen learn a certain amount of information - acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities. Graphically, the function can be represented as a -shaped curve thatcharacterises the dynamics of the educational process - the initial and main periods of training. Based on the results of the study of the behaviour of the -shaped curve and the position of its inflection point, the law of change in the level of training (training effectiveness) of specialists of a certain i-th category (profile) is formulated, depending on the number of training hours during which they acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities, and the values of the parameters and, which most appropriately reflect the dynamics of the educational process of specialists of any category (profile). The presented law makes it possible to unambiguously determine the required number of training hours to achieve the desired level of training of specialists in the branches of the military forces of a formation (unit), and the dynamics of its behaviour is like the continuous Weibull-Gnidenko probability distribution. The materials of the article are of theoretical value for further scientific research on the problem, as well as practical value - aimed at maintaining (developing) the typical group of capabilities FDR-3 (Training of Military Command and Control Bodies and Troops (Forces)). The practical use of the above methodological aspects will contribute to improving the quality of planning and building the process of training troops (forces), and thus to increasing their combat capability and ability to effectively counter the enemy on the battlefield.

Historical aspects of the origin and formation of military and political relations between Mongolia (Mongolian people’s republic) and Russia (the USSR) (1860–1939)

Historical milestones of the birth and formation of military and political relations between Mongolia and Russia over a long period of time, from the 1860s up to the beginning of World War II are analysed in the article on the basis of normative legal documents. It was the policies pursued by Russia and the USSR, along with a variety of external and internal factors, that were decisive in Mongolia’s gaining independence and sovereignty. The nature of the influence of Russia (USSR) on the formation and strengthening of the Mongolian army is considered in the article; as well as the participation of military instructors of the Russian Imperial Army and military representatives of the Russian Communist Red Army in the formation and training of Mongolian military troops and military units in the 1910-1920s; the main aspects of military and political co-operation between the USSR and Mongolia in the 1930s and on the eve of World War II are studied, in particular the specifics and issues of supplying weapons to the military units of the Mongolian army, as well as the role of the Soviet Union in the development of the Mongolian army. On the basis of previously published archival sources and materials, a detailed analysis of the organisation and construction of the Mongolian People’s Republic’s armed forces, their combat training and manning is carried out. Conclusion about the determining influence of military-political relations between Russia and Mongolia in the studied period on the formation of the Mongolian state and its armed forces, as well as on strengthening of Mongolia’s position in the international arena is made in the article.

Professional and applied physical training as the main type of military professional activity of cadets

Abstract. The readiness of the Armed Forces to repel the armed aggression of the Russian Federation is determined by many factors, one of which is the training of personnel. The activities of all military specialists, including physical training specialists, are aimed at ensuring a high level of personnel training. This is due to the fact that the development of physical qualities, formation and improvement of military-applied skills and abilities of servicemen is the key to successful combat operations.
 Physical readiness is the physical condition of a serviceman characterized by appropriate bodily development, certain functional resources of the body and the required level of motor fitness, which ensures the successful performance of combat missions for the purpose.
 Automation, computerization of military equipment and changes in the methods of warfare have led to a decrease in the share of physical effort in its control and muscle work in the structure of professional combat activity of servicemen in general, and at the same time increased the level of neuropsychological stress and tension, expanded the range of adverse factors of military combat activity. The connection between physical fitness and combat activity of servicemen of some military specialties has become hidden and indirect.
 Reforming educational institutions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine requires addressing global issues of improvement and finding new ways to solve the problems of vocational training of military personnel. The effective performance of cadets in educational institutions largely depends on their professional and applied training.
 One of the main tasks of teaching cadets the techniques and methods of ensuring professional and personal safety in emergency circumstances and in extreme conditions is to improve their firearms skills, as well as to increase the level of resistance to physical activity in training and service activities.
 The most important components of the professional skills of cadets of educational institutions are physical, professional and applied physical, psychological and firearms training.
 They belong to the cycle of professional disciplines and are designed to promote readiness for armed defense of the law, to maintain the constant readiness of future defenders to resolutely and skillfully stop illegal acts using physical force, special means and firearms.

КЛЮЧОВІ ПОНЯТТЯ МІЖНАРОДНОЇ ДОПОМОГИ У СФЕРІ БЕЗПЕКИ І ОБОРОНИ УКРАЇНИ

The article examines the content of such key concepts of international aid in the paradigm of defense capability of Ukraine as “international aid”, “international technical aid”, “military aid”, “humanitarian aid”, “charitable activity”. It was found that the system of ensuring the defense capability of the state is not limited by internal resources, but actively attracts external resources for the needs of the security and defense sphere. It is pointed out that there is no concept of “international aid” in the legislation of Ukraine, but the definition of the content of international technical aid, humanitarian aid and charitable activities. It was determined that the concept of “military aid” is also absent in national legislation, but in scientific doctrine it is considered as a type of international aid, and in conditions of armed aggression as assistance to Ukraine in ensuring the realization of its national interests. Forms of providing military aid to Ukraine by partner countries were considered. It was noted that the meaning of the concept of “military aid” is not limited to the provision of weapons and military equipment, but also includes the training and training of military personnel, the construction of infrastructure facilities, the provision of assistance in the development of battle plans, etc. It was emphasized that today military aid is provided by donor countries as international technical assistance, humanitarian aid or charity in accordance with the terms of the concluded agreement. A conclusion was drawn on the expediency of the legislative separation of military aid, as well as the development of a regulatory basis for its attraction, accounting, distribution, and use, which, taking into account the volume and importance of such aid to support Ukraine’s defense capabilities, will simplify its receipt from donor countries. Keywords: international aid, international technical aid, military aid, humanitarian aid, charitable activity.

Why combat sports cannot become the basis for military-physical training of hand-to-hand fighters

Scientific problem. An objective contradiction and discrepancy between the complex social nature and narrow specialization of conditional game training and competitive sports activities and real military physical training, focused on a fundamentally different area of narrow specialization, namely the area of military combat and operational service practice. The relevance of the study is to once again get rid of the illusions and misconceptions that have become traditional in the last 70–80 years about the real feasibility of using sports models and projects (in particular, those developed on the basis of combat sports) in the practice of applied military physical training of military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth. The purpose of the study is to prove the inapplicability (or, in extreme cases, incorrect application) of sports models and projects (in particular, those developed on the basis of combat sports) for solving the problems of military-physical applied training and education of military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth. The research methodology and organization include: methods of hypothetic-deductive modeling, logical-linguistic and concrete-empirical programming. Research results and conclusions. The main conclusion following from the materials of this article are the following two theses: • in order to avoid a double illusory-game transformation or «wrapping up» of military-physical martial arts and martial arts, it is necessary to strictly limit the processes of sportization of physical culture to the civilian sector and in no case allow the spread of these processes or their gradual «sliding» into the field of applied training military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth professionally oriented towards military and service activities; • the core of military-applied and service-applied physical training should objectively and naturally be the not yet sportized martial arts and modern military-service functionality, the synthesis of which, however, allows for some targeted borrowing of individual techniques from the field of combat sports.

Prospects for improving the special physical training of the cadets of the Security Service of Ukraine

Abstract. The change in the military and political situation in the world, the appearance of new types of weapons, the latest approaches to the conduct of hostilities, the constant arms race - this requires us to constantly change approaches and improve the training of military professionals, increase the requirements for their physical and mental readiness to perform tasks as assigned . Carrying out a number of reforms in the training of military specialists of the security and defense sector requires us to analyze and fundamentally change the training programs of combat training, taking into account the latest approaches, forms and methods of using troops. The formation of the national security system of Ukraine takes place at the expense of the multi-vector work of all branches of government. The Security Service of Ukraine plays a significant role in the defense capability of the state in many areas of work, namely: it carries out information and analytical work in the interests of the effective conduct of internal and external activities by state authorities and management of Ukraine, solving problems of defense, socio-economic construction, scientific and technical progress, ecology and other issues related to the national security of Ukraine. One of the important factors is the training of qualified professionals, and especially the formation of important physical qualities for high-quality performance of assigned tasks.
 Physical training is organized and conducted taking into account the tasks assigned to the units and bodies of the SBU and the specifics of their official activities, geographical conditions, the level of preparedness of the personnel, as well as the experience of conducting special operations and exercises in the interests of ensuring the security of Ukraine. Special physical training plays a significant role in the training of military personnel. Implementation of tasks is achieved in classes by working out exercises in physical and fire training, educational and training meetings, training in shooting ranges and on training grounds, classes in sports sections, holding competitions in official and applied sports and other types of sports.

Аdvantages of team sports during the physical training of future border guards

The program of psychological preparedness of servicemen is the basis of readiness for military and professional activities

Given the current events, the supply of weapons and military equipment by partner countries and its rapid development in everyday military life, the nature of combat operations against the Russian aggressor, we can conclude that modern combat does not exclude the occurrence of close combat between military personnel, units (groups) and the enemy, which may turn into hand-to-hand combat. The analysis of combat operations and experience has shown that most close combat engagements in wartime are conducted indoors, in populated areas, in wooded areas, in a limited area, in trenches, etc. In addition to the above, hand-to-hand combat is possible in cases of absence or loss of personal weapons and in conditions where the use of personal weapons is impossible or inappropriate for any reason.
 The use of hand-to-hand combat means is a weapon that cannot be seen, but is always available to the soldier. The ability to master hand-to-hand combat techniques in certain situations when facing the enemy can be the only means and factor in achieving a successful outcome in combat, preserving the life and health of subordinate personnel, personal and fellow soldiers.
 The training of military personnel and structural units in general for hand-to-hand combat in close combat in order to increase the combat capability of troops remains an urgent issue in modern combat. After all, hand-to-hand combat is an effective factor and element in the development and improvement of the physical, psychological and combat readiness of military personnel.
 Thus, it is expedient to develop, substantiate and experimentally test the effectiveness of the program of psychological preparedness of servicemen for military and professional activities based on the use of hand-to-hand combat.

International Legal Framework for the Protection of Cultural Objects

Introduction. For thousands of years, historical and cultural monuments have been damaged or destroyed as a result of armed conflicts and acts of vandalism. Given the role that these sites play in the development of humanity, international humanitarian law (IHL) establishes the basis for the international legal protection of religious, cultural and scientific sites. At the beginning of the 20th century. the situation was complicated not only by the absence of a universal international treaty that would be devoted exclusively to the international legal protection of these objects, but also by an international intergovernmental organization that would develop appropriate norms and standards. These problems led to the creation in 1945 of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Thanks to the activities of this specialized UN agency, as well as the activities of a number of non-governmental international organizations, it was possible to form an international legal regime for the protection of cultural property both in peacetime and during armed conflicts.As a result of changes in the strategy of conducting armed conflicts, as well as improving the methods and means of conducting them in the 21st century, cultural objects are in great danger. In this regard, the analysis of current international legal norms and principles for the protection of cultural property in the context of international humanitarian law is of particular relevance.Materials and methods. As for the materials, we were talking about legal acts, Russian and cultural information based on the cultural traditions of international law. methodological basis based on scientific methods of lysis and synthesis, comparative legal method, scientific method of delivery.Research results. The evolution of the system of international legal protection of cultural property and world cultural heritage allows us to draw a conclusion about the comprehensive level of such protection, applied both in peacetime and in armed conflicts. The international legal responsibilities of states in this area are associated, first of all, with assessing the significance of cultural objects and giving them the appropriate legal status through national legislation or inclusion in the registers of international organizations.Discussion and conclusion. At the same time, the activities of states and international organizations related to the special designation of cultural objects in armed conflicts, the training of civilian and military personnel, and taking into account the specifics of the placement and maintenance of such objects are of particular importance. The general body of knowledge and skills for the protection and protection of cultural objects is formed by UNESCO as a specialized agency of the United Nations, which strives to preserve the universal heritage as the highest achievements of art and science.

Application of crossfit in physical training of law enforcement officers

Military professional activities place significant demands on the training of military personnel during participation in combat operations. Scientific research confirms that the most effective means and method of forming the professional readiness of law enforcement units is the quality training of soldiers in military higher education institutions. It is this training that requires the search for new methods and technologies for organizing forms of physical training with military personnel of all specialties. Scientists consider crossfit to be an effective, popular sport that is important in the development of general physical qualities and maintaining the functional state of a soldier at the proper level, and is rapidly developing among different segments of the population in the world.
 The article examines the professional and motor fitness of law enforcement officers, which ensures the success of military and professional activities. The author assesses the levels of physical fitness of officers and substantiates the relevance of crossfit as a system of a new sport that demonstrates many qualities: strength, agility, endurance, speed, coordination. The possibility of including cross-fit in the system of professional and applied physical training of law enforcement officers in order to increase the level of military and applied readiness of each officer is considered. The effectiveness of cross-fit means and methods in the development of professionally significant strength qualities of students is proved.

The role of physical training in the selection system of military personnel for the special operations forces of the Indian armed forces

This article describes the training system of special operations forces of the Indian Armed Forces. Selection for the units of special operations forces is carried out from army units, in which psychological and intellectual tests are conducted, as well as a check of physical fitness level. The training takes place in various geographical conditions, including in the desert and mountains. Also, urban tactics are practiced. Units of special operations forces perform combat tasks using force methods in extreme conditions with the use of special tactics in specific conditions, which requires a high level of psychological, ideological, physical and combat training of military personnel. The doctrine of joint training of the Armed Forces of India demonstrates the intention of the country’s leaders to put into practice contemporary technologies for training the Armed Forces personnel, to increase the effectiveness of troops in modern military warfare, which are characterized by the use of hybrid forms of armed struggle. The doctrine reveals the essence and content of challenges and threats to national security. According to the military and political leadership of the state, it is considered the result of the activities of terrorist organizations and the foreign policy courses of China and Pakistan, which are aimed at reducing the role of India in South Asia. The existence of interstate disagreements with the countries of South Asia on territorial issues, the implementation by the leadership of neighboring states of military programs aimed primarily at increasing nuclear potential, is considered by Delhi as the main source of military conflict in the region, in which the armed forces may be involved.
