| Summary: | In the scientific article, the authors note that basic military training, hereinafter referred to as BMT, must be conducted on a mandatory basis in order for Ukrainian citizens to obtain military specialisation, skills and abilities necessary to fulfil their constitutional duty to defend the homeland, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The basic military training programme for students should be implemented with the aim of training individuals studying at higher education institutions, higher military educational institutions and military training units of higher education institutions in order to provide students with the basic knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for further professional training and, if necessary, for performing the functional duties of the primary position of ‘rifleman,’ which is the basic position for enlisted and senior personnel of the security and defence forces, since the main task of a rifleman is to perform combat tasks in close combat using personal firearms.
The authors of the article conclude that combining collective and differentiated approaches in the BMT programme means adapting the complexity of educational tasks to the individual characteristics of higher education students (military personnel), while relying on interaction within the military community. The combination of the unity of the educational process and military training in the BMT programme ensures the simultaneous formation of professional competencies, moral and combat qualities, and psychological resilience of military personnel. The content of the BMT programme should be developed taking into account the principle of gradual learning, which involves a transition ‘from simple to complex’.
The individual stage of training under the BMT programme should be focused on mastering basic educational components, in particular tactical and fire training, as well as acquiring knowledge and practical skills in related fields – psychological and engineering training, military topography, tactical medicine, communications and protection against radiation, chemical and biological weapons. The programme should also provide in-depth study of military history, the national combat traditions of the Ukrainian people, and be aimed at forming a conscious motivation to defend the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The authors determine that special attention during training under the BMT programme should be paid to familiarisation with examples and methods of action of enemy information and psychological operations units, as well as with the main approaches to ensuring information security and countering destructive psychological influence.
