Stock categories in the military ticket. What do the categories 1 and 2 of the military reserve category mean?

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation protect the country and its borders. In peacetime, the quantitative composition that exists in the active army is quite sufficient. But if there is unleashing of the conflict and an attempt on the borders of the state, then the citizens of the country who join certain categories of the reserve also join the ranks of the defenders of the Motherland.

What is a military reserve

The military reserve consists of men specificcountries that combine military and civilian careers. In peacetime, they are in a state of readiness and at the right time will return to military service. This happens when mobilization is announced in case of total war or when aggressors attack the territory of the state. To ensure that the military reserve is properly recorded (military specialties, titles, ages, etc.), people are assigned to special categories of stock (they are indicated in the military ticket).

Advantages and peculiarities of the military reserve

The main advantage of creating a stock (orreserve) is the possibility in peacetime to significantly reduce the cost of maintaining the army. At the same time the armed forces continue to be in a state of "combat readiness". The very first at the time of the mobilization of troops are called citizens of the country who have the following mark in the military ticket: the category of the reserve is 1.

It should be recalled that the military reserve is substantiallyis different from the reserve formations, which are a grouping of servicemen (or units), but at the moment do not take direct part in the battle on the orders of the commander. This is done in order to use additional forces in emergency situations.

How people are recruited in different categories of stock

In the Federal Law of the Russian Federation on military dutyand military service (July 21, 2014 the last edition No. 53-ФЗ of 28.03.1998 came out), in the eighth section, there are clear indications as to who the military reserve consists of and how the distribution is organized by category.

According to this law, the following citizens of the Russian Federation are enlisted in the ranks of the reserve:

There are certain age limits, according to which women can be enrolled in the reserve: having officer rank - up to 50 years, and not having - up to 45 years.

Main categories of military reserve

In total there are three military grades - 1, 2 and 3. In every category there are age limits for various military ranks. For example, the first category consists of soldiers, sailors, sergeants, ensigns, midshipmen under the age of 35; junior officers under 45; Senior officers (majors, captains of rank 2 and 3, lieutenant-colonels) who have not reached the age of 50; Senior officers, colonels, as well as captains of the first rank at the age of 55; higher officers to 60 years.

The fact is that the command structure is considered to be the most important of the entire reserve, since it has extensive experience in conducting military operations. Therefore, in the very first wave of mobilization, these people immediately begin to fulfill their military duty to the Fatherland.

How does mobilization take place?

When a country is in war,there is a whole series of special actions aimed at transferring not only the armed forces, but also the country's economy, government bodies, self-government and other organizations in wartime conditions. The law of the Commander-in-Chief of the country declares general or partial mobilization.

Once it was announced, allservicemen who are currently in military service (even those who have expired) remain in places of deployment. The list does not include only female servicemen, who have children under the age of 16.

Most often there are several so-called mobilization waves, in each of which certain categories of the stock fall.

Obligations of citizens of the Russian Federation in case of mobilization

Can a person in reserve be called up for military service?

Enrollment in the category of military reserve stockis based on legislative acts and decisions, violation of which is impossible. If you have already been recorded in the reserve, no matter what your age (even if you are 27 years old), in peacetime no one will force you to carry military service. Persons who do not stay in the reserve are removed from military records only if they have exemption from conscription.

Stock category 1 and 2 - what's the difference?

All servicemen who have served in the armyfor at least 1 year, as well as all combatants (regardless of the length of stay) is the first category of the reserve. The 2nd category is the military liable for service, which served in the Russian Army for 1 year, as well as all those who were not called up for a number of reasons. It should be noted that in the very first wave of mobilization, all male civilians who have the first category will be drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to protect the territory of the country and all civilians.

Most often all those who did not pass the urgentservice, after 27 years of age receive a military ticket with the mark "reserve category 2", which means the following: at the time of mobilization, no one will transfer you immediately to the first category and will not send the fight. But if you still receive a summons, it is necessary to appear at the military commissariat for fees, after which a medical examination will be conducted and a doctor's report on the fitness for the service will be issued. And even after that, you will not be sent to defend your country with weapons. First, they will hold training camps that will last at least a year, and only after that in the military ticket the category of reserve 2 will be replaced by 1. Then you will defend the Motherland, your relatives and relatives.
