USE OF THE EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN UKRAINE

The problem of training highly qualified personnel for various structures of the state, the formation of education, culture, and professionalism has been relevant at all times. The article examines the main areas of improvement of military education. It is revealed that military education is a unique, closed system, the purpose of which is the professional training of military specialists with a high level of competence and moral and psychological training. Structural institutes of military education function in a single educational regulatory and legal field, are a component of the national education system and one of the main sources of ensuring the state’s defense capability. The experience of training military specialists for the armed forces of the Republic of Poland was considered and the analysis of the existing network of military educational institutions for the training of officers of various branches of the military administration, as well as for the training of non-commissioned officers, was carried out. It was revealed that Poland has a rich history of the functioning of military education, it is known about the creation of a military training school whose task was to prepare Polish youth for military service and civilian work at the same time. Today, civilian educational institutions in Poland have departments of military training, which allows for high-quality training of civilian and military personnel. The main advantages and disadvantages of the Polish military education system are identified. The advantages include the experience of adopting the Law on Higher Military Education in Poland in 1965, which contributed to officer schools obtaining the status of universities and the development of science in military schools, where scientific research in the field of military education was actively conducted, which allowed to improve the quality of training of military personnel. Among the shortcomings, we can mention the attempts to reform military education by the teams headed by the Ministry of National Defense of Poland, contrary to the current legal norms and standards operating in the academic world, which led to the decline of military science. It was concluded that, despite the differences in functioning in different countries of the world, it is possible to single out the general trends of the development of the higher military school in the XXI century. The military education systems of most countries are built according to a certain pattern. It seems appropriate to study the experience of Poland, which can be useful for Ukraine.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT – A TOOL FOR STRENGTHENING THE EDUCATION PROCESSES? METHODS OF INTEGRATION INTO THE HMES

We argue that the principles and practices specific to the performance management can be used as levers in the education system and in the professional training of military personnel, especially in the higher military education system. We will focus particularly on the most important aspects of performance management: planning and goal setting, monitoring, evaluation and feedback. Beyond the conceptual aspects, we will discuss the implications that these practices have on the teaching-learning process and we will highlight their value in the military academia by elaborating on how they can be applied in three problematic situations. Thus, this article provides teachers and instructors in the military education system with learning-oriented methods that will create a productive classroom environment and highlights the opportunities that students have and the benefits at the institutional level.

Analysis of the ballistic sound wave of the bullet to determine the point of hitting the target

Development of armament and training military equipment aimed to improve the support of units as well as to speed up and improve the quality of training of military personnel are the tasks that remains important and gained special priority in the conditions of war. The study of existing technologies and methods for improving the processes of training and conducting combat shows that a promising direction in this regard is the analysis of the sound field to obtain detailed information about the events on the battlefield or at the place of firing and tactical training classes.
 The analysis of the sound field during the flight of the bullet is important both for use in the educational and training process as well as during the performance of combat missions. The great advantage of such methods is the relative simplicity, low cost of equipment and the absence of unmasking factors in the form of electromagnetic radiation from various spectral ranges. Another advantage is the ability to modernize existing equipment and weapons without the need to make drastic changes to the design and operation scheme of used armament and equipment.
 The paper proposes a method for the determination of the trajectory of a bullet or projectile to establish the point of impact or to determine the direction of deviation from the real or training target in the case of a failed shot. Mathematical algorithms obtained on the basis of the proposed physical model for detecting the flight of a bullet in the vicinity of a system of microphones located near the target, compactly placed at certain distances from each other on a rigid tripod, are presented. An analysis of the technical possibility of implementing the corresponding device and its functioning in the conditions of a real experiment was carried out.
 The results of the experimental verification of the capability of the method are presented in order to confirm the correctness of the mathematical calculations, as well as to determine the possible directions of development of the approach and the ways of increasing the accuracy of the determination of the calculated parameters. The experimentally obtained data agree well with the results of theoretical calculations.
 Employment of the proposed acoustic system for the determination of the coordinate of the target hitting point together with the traditional target equipment allows one to enhance the training process in firing and tactical training as well as improves the learning of the training issues. It also shortens the time needed for the analysis of the results of the shooting exercises and allows one to reduce the consumption of ammunition in the training process. The analysis of the ballistic sound wave of a bullet, in order to determine the coordinates of the bullet flight path, can be used in the training process of military personnel and during real battles.

The effectiveness of Foley catheter balloon tamponade versus expanding sponges and hemostatic granules for catastrophic penetrating groin hemorrhage with small skin defect: A comparative study in a live tissue porcine model with evaluation of a concise training program.

Prompt bleeding control in the prehospital phase is essential to improve survival from catastrophic junctional hemorrhage. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and practicality of Foley catheter balloon tamponade (FCBT), Celox-A, and XSTAT for the treatment of catastrophic hemorrhage from penetrating groin injuries with a small skin defect in a live-tissue porcine model. In addition, this study aimed to determine whether a training program could train military personnel in application of these advanced bleeding control adjuncts. A standardized wound was created in 18 groins from 9 anesthetized swine. Eighteen military medics participated in the training program and performed a bleeding control procedure after randomization over the swine and test products and after transection of the femoral neurovascular bundle. Primary endpoints were bleeding control, time to bleeding control, rebleeding, blood loss, medic performance, and user product rating. No significant differences were found in vital signs and laboratory values between the groups. In the Celox-A group, 3/6 groins achieved hemorrhage control. This was 6/6 in the XSTAT and FCBT groups. XSTAT scored best on application time, time to obtain hemorrhage control, hemorrhage control score, and practicality. No significant differences were found between groups for rebleeding, amount of blood loss, and medic performance. Military medics had a significant higher preference for XSTAT over Celox-A. This was not significant for FCBT. All tested products proved effective in obtaining hemorrhage control. XSTAT has the highest effectivity and shortest application time for the treatment of catastrophic bleeding from nonpackable, penetrating junctional groin injuries with a small skin defect, compared with Celox-A and FCBT. XSTAT scored best on practicality. This study shows that our training curriculum can be used to train military medics with limited prior experience in the use of advanced bleeding control techniques for penetrating junctional groin injuries with small skin defect.

The Role and Place of Moral-Willed Qualities in the General System of Training of Future Military Officers

The article investigates the peculiarities of the training for military personnel in higher education institutions in Ukraine. The formation of moral and volitional qualities of future military personnel takes place both in the process of gaining professional qualifications in higher military educational institutions and military educational units of higher education institutions and during physical and tactical training.
 Study of the scientific literature shows that the term "moral-willed qualities" is studied as a relationship between the concepts of "moral qualities" and "willed qualities".
 Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the concept of "moral and volitional qualities of future military personnel" has been clarified, which we understand as stable personality characteristics that affect the ability to manage one's behaviour and activities in all situations based on compliance with moral standards.
 It has been proven that for successful professional activities, future military personnel need to develop such moral and volitional qualities as purposefulness; courage and determination; independence and resourcefulness; perseverance and tenacity; endurance and self-control; discipline and organization.

СРАВНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ТЕСТОВ ФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ ПОДГОТОВЛЕННОСТИ ВОЕННОСЛУЖАЩИХ АРМИЙ США, РОССИИ И ВЕНЕСУЭЛЫ

Statement of the problem. In any army in the world, the physical fitness of personnel is of great importance, which is one of the main indicators of the readiness level of the country’s armed forces. The changing conditions of modern warfare require constant and systematic modernization of the assessment in the level of physical fitness of military personnel. The purpose of the study is to consider the most important aspects of physical training of military personnel based on a comparative analysis of physical fitness tests used in the armies of the United States, the Russian Federation and Venezuela. The research methodology is based on regulatory legal acts in the field of defense of the USA, the Russian Federation and Venezuela, the analysis of scientific publications and professional experience on the stated research problem. Research results. Having studied in detail the approaches to assessing the physical qualities of military personnel in the United States, the Russian Federation and Venezuela, we noted that a country like Venezuela differs in its approach to the level of assessment of the readiness of personnel from the other two countries. This article presents the current means of assessing physical qualities of military personnel in the armies of the United States, the Russian Federation and Venezuela in the context of such aspects of the theory of physical education as endurance, strength, speed, flexibility, and coordination. These aspects are fundamental for any professional activity that implies or requires a high level of physical fitness, which can also allow determining the necessary level of readiness of the Venezuelan army soldiers. Conclusion. Unlike the military of the Venezuelan army, soldiers of the most powerful armies in the world undergo more comprehensive training and at the same time maintain the specifics of professional activity in all its manifestations.

Modeling of supply logistics and training of military personnel for the successful use of weapons in a combat area

The problem of multivariate nature is formed and solved, which is related to the modeling of logistics actions regarding various military equipment and weapons that enter the zone of military conflict. The relevance of the research is related to the comprehensive solution to the problem of the logistical nature of the supply and mastering modern various weapons by the military to create parity of forces in the military conflict zone. The current study creates a complex of logistic methods and models that allow analyzing training of the military, supply of weapons, ammunition and spare parts to the zone of military conflict, for the successful implementation of the goals of the military operation. This article analyzes the problem of using modern and diverse military equipment, which needs to be solved by systematically presenting military training in logistics, supplying various weapons from various manufacturers to the area of combat operations. The optimization model has been created to select and justify the composition of suppliers of weapons, spare parts and ammunition, in the context of risks that arise in the production and transportation of military cargo in a heterogeneous transport network. Optimization is performed in conditions of conflicting criteria: the number of new weapons; time and costs for the production and supply of military equipment; logistical risks. To study dynamic processes in the logistics of supplying weapons, spare parts and ammunition, a model has been created that allows, with the help of simulation agents, the investigation of the paths of movement of military cargo under the conditions of military threats and possible excitation of critical vulnerabilities in the heterogeneous transport supply network. An algorithm for forming the optimal delivery route at the minimum time under risks has been developed. Simulation modeling is used to estimate the movement time of military cargo, delays in supply, accumulation of risks in cargo transportation, consequences of threats and vulnerabilities in supply logistics, etc. This study examines the process of training the military by mastering new competencies for the use of various modern weapons in combat conditions. Simultaneously, the short terms of training of military personnel and the logistics of their transportation to training centers are considered subject to the threats and risks of wartime. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is ensured by a systematic representation of the logistics of supplying various weapons, spare parts and ammunition to the conflict zone, and a comprehensive solution to the research tasks set. The scientific novelty of the conducted research is associated with the development of new methods and models based on system analysis. The following methods were used: simulation modeling, models for optimizing, competence model for acquiring new knowledge by the military personnel. The results of the study should be used to select and justify suppliers of new diverse weapons and military equipment, train the military to use modern kinds and types of weapons, plan routes and schedules for the supply of military cargo to the area of combat operations, in conditions of wartime threats.

Formation of psycho-physical readiness of military personnel by means of special physical training

The main advantages of modern professional armies are the possibility of selecting for military service people who meet the standards of mental and physical fitness for military service to the greatest extent, as well as the introduction of increased requirements for their military and professional training. Taking into account the peculiarities of the participation of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in military operations and the experience of conducting combat operations, the psychological and physical readiness of servicemen to perform assigned tasks is becoming increasingly important, in the formation of which special physical training plays the main role. The events of recent years have shown how important is the psychophysical readiness of military personnel to conduct combat operations, to perform tasks in extreme conditions, the ability to overcome the effects of increased stress on the psyche, their ability to successfully resist the influence of various stressogenic factors, while maintaining high performance. The purpose of the article is to conduct an analysis and generalization of literary sources and guiding documents about the issues of the military personnel psychophysical readiness improving by means of Special Physical Training.
 The problem of psychophysical readiness acquires special significance in the professional activity of military personnel. This is caused by the specifics of military-professional activity and its high social significance in terms of the protection of state interests and the country's defense capability. Applied Military Physical Exercises (AMPE) are actively used to solve the problems of psychological training of servicemen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations. AMPE includes: hand-to-hand combat, overcoming obstacles, moving through mountainous terrain, paramilitary cross country with throwing grenades and riffle shooting, forcing water obstacles and other exercises with maximum mental and physical stress. On the basis of the above, it is appropriate to define the psychophysical training of military personnel as a pedagogical process of forming the psychological stability of a military personnel during physical exercises with high density and load with special means that require neuropsychological stress.

Development of recommendations regarding the composition of forces and equipment for topogeodesic support of the troops of the operational command

The object of the research is the forces and devices of topographic support of the operational command troops. The work highlights the recommendations regarding the composition of the forces and devices of topographical support of the operational command troops. The analysis of the nature of the armed struggle of the last decades shows a sharp increase in the need of the troops (forces) for information provision, in particular in the provision of topogeodesic information (geospatial information) of the armed forces, the timeliness and reliability of which affects the course and results of military operations. One of the types of geospatial data that is needed by the military both in peacetime and in a special period are topographic maps, they are the main source of information about the terrain and the objects on it. Nowadays, the state of topographic information on most nomenclature sheets of topographic maps of the territory of Ukraine does not meet the modern requirements of the troops. The successful implementation of the task of updating topographical information is facilitated by the use of the most acceptable and economically justified composition of forces and devices of topographical support of troops. However, the experience of geodetic support during the operational training of troops (forces), the operation of the United Forces in the east of the country and the large-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation showed that the currently available forces and devices of geodetic support of the troops are not capable of fulfilling the entire scope of the assigned tasks This especially applies to operational commands. Therefore, in order to successfully carry out changes in the system of topographic support regarding the necessary composition of forces and devices of this support, appropriate scientific researches were conducted. This, in turn, will provide an opportunity to improve existing methods and develop recommendations regarding the necessary composition of forces and devices of topographic support for the troops of the operational command. The mentioned recommendations will make it possible to justify the composition of the forces and devices of topographical support of the troops of the operational command by the persons planning the operations of the groups of troops (forces).

Body Composition, Eicosapentaenoic Acid, and Vitamin D are Associated with Army Combat Fitness Test Performance.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), an updated and newly developed metric to assess combat readiness, may require specialized exercise and nutritional interventions. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between body composition, erythrocyte long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA), serum vitamin D (VITD) and ACFT performance.MethodsSixty cadets (43 males, 17 females; 20.9 ± 3.8 years; 173.6 ± 10.2 cm; 75.6 ± 13.7 kg) completed the 6-event ACFT (3-repetition maximum trap-bar deadlift [3DL], standing power toss [SPT], hand-release pushups [HRPU], sprint-drag-carry shuttle run [SDC], leg tuck [LTK], or plank [PLK], and 2-mile run [2MR]), body composition analysis via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (percent body fat [%BF], lean body mass [LBM], fat-free mass index [FFMI (LBM+bone mineral content)]), and an omega-3 questionnaire. A sub-sample (n = 50) completed blood draws for fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) and VITD analysis. Significance was set at p < .05.ResultsLower %BF predicted better performance on all ACFT events (p < .05), except the PLK. Higher LBM was predictive of better performance on the 3DL, SPT, and SDC (p < .05), but no other events. Adjusted FFMI was positively correlated with the 3DL, SPT, HRPU, SDC, and ACFT scores (p < .01 for all). Cadet EPA and DHA dietary intake and omega-3 erythrocyte status was well below established recommendations (25.6 ± 33.9 mg, 58.3 ± 78.1 mg, respectively) and an omega-3 index (O3i = %EPA+%DHA in erythrocytes) of 3.96 ± 1.36%, respectively. EPA was associated with better performance on the 3DL (r = 0.280, p = .049), SPT (r = 0.314, p = .027), LTK (r = 0.316, p = .047), and PLK (r = 0.837, p = .003). After adjusting for body composition, erythrocyte EPA only remained predictive of PLK scores (p = .006). Every 0.1% increase in EPA translated into 5.4 (95% CI: 2.1, 8.8) better PLK score. The O3i or DHA were not associated with any performance variables. Cadets’ average serum VITD status was 38.0 ± 14.9 ng∙ml−1. VITD was associated with 3DL (r = 0.305, p = .031), HRPU (r = 0.355, p = .011), 2MR (r = 0.326, p = .021), and total ACFT score (r = 0.359, p = .011). VITD remained predictive of each event after adjustment for body composition. Every 10 ng∙ml−1 increase in VITD was associated with 3-point increase in 3DL, HRPU, 2MR scores, and a 13-point increase in the total ACFT score.ConclusionsOur data highlight the importance of measures of muscularity, LBM and FFMI, on ACFT performance. Additionally, EPA and VITD status is associated with various strength, power, and muscular and aerobic endurance components of the ACFT. While these results could help professionals better assess and train military personnel, especially since these measures are modifiable through exercise and dietary interventions, they are ultimately hypothesis generating and warrant further exploration.

Interactive air situation simulator

In the present day, simulators play a significant role in training military personnel. They allow, among other things, for practicing combat scenarios that are difficult or outright impossible to execute in reality. Virtual reality technologies are being constantly developed, as are the ways of their interaction with each other and with real objects. This article brings up the topic of interactive distributed simulations, presenting their technological developments as well as the goals of their authors. After the analysis of selected methods of interactive distributed simulations, project assumptions are formulated and interactions occurring between objects in virtual airspace are stated. The last part of the article describes the attempt of creating an interactive air situation simulator in accordance with the formulated assumptions. As a result of the work conducted, it was possible to program a simulator that allows us to study the interactions between radar warning receivers and ground based primary surveillance radars. Not all assumptions have been achieved, most notably full functionality with the DIS standard, however, the project can be further developed, allowing for full compatibility with this standard. Developing a simulator is a process that requires many assumptions, but also trade-offs. With correct assumptions and a standardised way of information exchange between simulators, it is possible to make a web of interoperable simulators. Keywords: aerospace engineering, simulators, radars, distributed interactive simulation

Залежність результатів молодих чоловіків у військовому пентатлоні від функціональних можливостей і рухової підготовленості у легкоатлетичних вправах

The experience of modern warfare and the results of scientific research show that an important and most effective means of solving the tasks of special physical training of military personnel is the use of physical exercises and sports, which are the closest in terms of the movements used and the nature of physical exertion to their military professional activities. One of these is military applied all-around and, above all, military pentathlon. Taking it allows you to adequately develop the necessary physical and special qualities, to form important military-applied skills, to improve professional techniques and actions, and to educate the moral and mental qualities of military personnel. The purposeof the work is to study the state of development of physical qualities and the formation of military-applied motor skills in the types of activities of military pentathlon, which belong to athletics. Research material and methods.

The aim of using virtual reality instead of traditional training processes is to simulate battlefield conditions as realistically as possible and to save financial resources that could be directed to other educational processes. The system was implemented using the Virtual Battlespace 4 (VBS4) virtual simulation software application, interconnected with Virtual Reality Headset and Controllers, to provide an enhanced simulation training experience. A wireless network has also been set up and tested for increased flexibility and quick setup during multiplayer simulation.

Analysis of the organization of the provision of material resources to the Soviet troops during the repulse of fascist aggression (June 1941 – November 1942)

The subject of the research of the authors of the article is the principles and procedure for organizing the logistics of the workers' and peasants' Red army during the repulse of fascist aggression (June 1941 - November 1942). The authors consider in detail the aspects of the organization of the provision of material resources of the Soviet troops in the early years of the Great Patriotic War. The analysis of the areas of training of troops was carried out, such as material support, provision of ammunition, provision of fuel, provision of food, as well as provision of clothing. Based on the analysis, a conclusion was formed about certain provisions on material support and the work of supply services that were developed before the outbreak of the war. The main conclusion of the study is the understanding that the creation of a new structure of the rear management bodies, the increasing military and economic capabilities of the country, as well as the increase in the capabilities of the rear Center and the transfer of parts of the functions of the operational rear to the Central link of the rear contributed to solving the tasks of supplying troops with material means. The introduction of new material into the practice of providing troops with material means improved the organization of the supply of troops, changed the planning system and made it possible to establish systematic material support of the fronts, obliged the troops to use material resources economically and rationally. At the same time, the shortcomings in the organization of the logistics of the Armed Forces at the beginning of the war are explained by the discrepancy in the composition, organizational structure, technical equipment and combat readiness of the rear to the corresponding indicators of the troops.

Search for ways to realise the pedagogic potential of the military ecology course

Topicality of this work is related to the need to improve the methodology of environmental training of military personnel. The contradiction between the goals and objectives, proclaimed in the system of ecological training and uppbringing in the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and low level of ecological culture and incompetence in issues of ecological safety actually demonstrated by servicemen, is evident. The aim of the article is to develop a model for realising the pedagogic potential of the military ecology course to achieve the goals of environmental training of servicemen. The ones chosen as leading methodological guidelines, include value-minded ones as well as culturological ones in the issues of military ecology course content selection, system-activity and integrative approaches at organisation of teaching and cognitive activity when forming ecological component of military-oriented professional competences; principles of educational environment creation for formation of ecological worldview of the specialist's personality (Aleksandr Ivashchenko, Viktor Panov, Aleksandr Gagarin et al.); integration of professional and environmental education (Aleksandr Gagarin, Yelena Cherdymova et al.) in the context of embedding new knowledge into the existing structure of “cognitive niches” (Helena Knyazeva). What is proposed as the results of the study include the justification of the model of developing a system of training tasks on the example of forming the ecological component of military professional competences. Examples of interconnection of content-activity components at different stages of realisation of pedagogic potential of military ecology course are given; as well as results of pedagogic experiment; methodical recommendations are offered; research prospects are defined. The article is of interest for teachers of military ecology, for pedagogic community of institutions of higher military education, as well as for graduate and post-graduate students developing the issues of their own courses in professional education.

Organization of hygienic training and education of military personnel

This article reveals problematic issues in the organization of hygienic training and education of military personnel. Considering that human health is more than 50% determined by lifestyle, out of the whole range of measures aimed at protecting the health of the population, the formation of elements of a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior in relation to health is envisaged as one of the priority areas of prevention. The armed Forces are an integral part of society and the state, so social problems, including negative trends in the health of the population, manifest themselves in the army and navy. The article presents suggestions for further improvement of hygienic education and training.

Theoretical analysis of the organization of special physical training of future officers of military education institutions

The key to high combat readiness and combat capability of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the required level of professional knowledge, sufficient motivation, excellent physical development and high functional status of the basic body systems of servicemen [1].Radical changes in views on the country's national security, the protracted hybrid war in eastern Ukraine, and the reform of the higher education system in line with the Bologna Process are factors in the need to reform the training of officers in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Scholars believe that in order for the level of a future officer of a military educational institution to fully meet the requirements of a NATO-style professional army, it is necessary to significantly strengthen the professional component of the future officer's training and ensure its specialization [2].On the other hand, the experience of combat operations in the Joint Forces Operation (anti-terrorist operation) in eastern Ukraine has proved the need to develop and improve the military-applied physical skills of servicemen. Modern specialists in physical training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine insist on the need to focus on training servicemen to develop skills on the battlefield, overcoming obstacles in full gear and ballistic protection, throwing grenades, firing small arms from different positions, swimming and swimming. with weapons [3]. Authors of scientific works O. Lavrut, T. Lavrut, 2009; O. Olkhoviy, 2014; V. Klimovich, O. Olkhoviy, S. Romanchuk, 2016, argue that the success of the military-professional activity and the results of the professional training of the future officers lie in the old physical camp [4, 5]. Foreign experts I. Mikkola, S. Keinänen-Kiukaanniemi, J. Jokelainen, A. Peitso, P. Härkönen, M. Timonen, 2012; K. Friedl, J. Knapik, K. Häkkinen, N. Baumgartner, H. Groeller, N. Taylor, 2015 in their studies confirm that the physical development and functional state of the body’s systems is a guarantee of effective combat training of military service personnel [6, 7].
