Analysis of the foreign experience of the organisation and reformation of the armed forces in other countries, with the respective systems of military education being an integral part, reveals the specific national aspect of such activities in each country. In the meantime, there are some general methodological approaches used in military pedagogic practice across different countries of the world to be practicably considered and applied. The article examines the experience of officers’ training for the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus. The article provides information on the existing network of military educational institutions for the officer training of tactical, operational-tactical and operational-strategic level of military command. Requirements for admission to military educational institutions for the officer training of different levels of training has been given. The terms of military specialists’ training on tactical, operational-tactical and operational-strategic level have been defined. The analysis of the content of officer training for different armed services of the armed forces and different levels of military administration has been conducted. We used the system of the general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical research, in particular, the theoretical-methodological analysis of the problem and the relevant scholarly resources, systematization and generalization of the scientific information pertaining to the essence and content of the set objectives, monitoring of the existing system of military specialists training in the Armed Forces of the republic of Belarus, scientific generalisation, the general scientific methods of logical and comparative analysis, systems approach, peer review, analysis and interpretation of the obtained theoretical and empirical data. An analysis of the concept, structure, goals, content and technologies of officers’ training inthe armed forces of the Republic of Belarus shows that the military education system reflects the current stage of development of the armed forces, as well as the national cultural specificity of the country. Education and training of officers is carried out on the basis of national cultural and military traditions, taking into account the mentality of the Belarusian people. The main direction of officers’ training is their fundamental military and professional training in both the military and civilian fields. First of all, the training of the citizen – patriot of his homeland is carried out. The content of the officers’ training is based on two military education levels. Each level of military education ends with a certain level of qualification. It is possible to distinguish the general tendencies of development of the higher Belarusian military school: improvement of the quality of applicants’ selection, individualization of training of cadets and trainees, stabilization of their number at the present level; further informatization of the educational process, introduction of multimedia learning tools. The reform of higher military education in Belarus continues in line with pan-European development. However, it does not embark on the path of simply copying military educational models of other countries, but takes into account the experience, traditions of the military school, national peculiarities of formation and development of national armed forces. Certainly, the positive elements of the experience of the Belarusian army can be used in the training of officers in the Ukrainian Armed Forces under the conditions of gradual transition to the recruitment on a contract basis.

The article discusses the process of the formation and development of the Russian military school, which originates since Peter's I transformations. I. The main historical periods of military education are allocated, each of which has distinctive features related to the methods of training and education of future officers, the preparation of military teachers, the edition of educational and methodological literature, etc. A characteristic feature of the development of military education was the fact that these transformations were in parallel with transformations occurring in the armed forces. This interrelated process fruitfully influenced not only the development of the military education system, but also the development of military scientific thought in general. The article traces the continuity between all historical periods of military education in Russia. Attention is focused on the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries when the most elaborated educational system of military schools in Russia was formed, and the military school became one of the most important sociocultural institutions of the state mechanism and the country's society. All transformations in military education in pre-revolutionary Russia became a foundation for the formation of the Soviet, and then the Russian military school.

Povzetek V članku sta prikazana na arhivskih virih in literaturi z analizo SWOT temelječa vojaško izobraževanje v Slovenski vojski in možnost njegovega nadaljnjega razvoja. Opisano je povezovanje vojaškega izobraževalnega in znanstvenoraziskovalnega sistema v Slovenski vojski s sistemom izobraževanja in znanstvenoraziskovalnega dela v Republiki Sloveniji ter v mednarodnem okolju tako, da je prikazan razvoj vojaškega izobraževanja v oboroženih silah Republike Slovenije, ki se je z njenim nastankom leta 1991 na novo oblikovalo, in to od osnovnega usposabljanja vojakov nabornikov do najvišjih oblik vojaškega izobraževanja in znanstvenoraziskovalnega dela na področju vojaških ved. V nadaljevanju so predstavljene pomanjkljivosti sedanjega vojaškega izobraževanja in njegov mogoč razvoj, ki bi potekal, tako kot v drugih zavezniških državah, v smeri vključevanja v bolonjski izobraževalni in znanstvenoraziskovalni sistem. Ključne besede: Republika Slovenija, Slovenska vojska, vojaško izobraževanje, bolonjski izobraževalni sistem, analiza SWOT.

This report looks into the Systems Approach to Training, in the context of educational institutions in the armed forces, as a logical and systematic process. Documents regulating the implementation of the Systems Approach to Training in the US Army, United Kingdom and Bulgaria are analyzed. The first part of the report outlines the requirements of the military educational system based on the made analysis. It is reasonably stated that these requirements apply to all military education systems and constitute a valid framework for all models. This framework sufficiently allows those who make the training to do so in a flexible way, in accordance to the learners’ educational needs. From the standpoint of the management of each education system, the Systems Approach to Training is the most appropriate way to identify learning and development needs. It is reasonably stated that this is an adaptive, continuous training model focused on providing quality, appropriate and effective learning practices. The main features of the Systems Approach to Training applied in the military education systems of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Bulgaria are examined in the second part of the report. Different definitions are used to describe the Systems Approach to Training. From the analysis of the definitions given, the authors justify the assertion, that inherently, the Systems Approach to Training to a certain extent approaches the architectural approach. It is established that for the needs of the armed forces of all three countries the Systems Approach to Training is presented as an aggregation of interrelated and interdependent processes (or stages) aimed at designing the modern military education process in a highly dynamic and external environment. A comparative analysis of the stages (phases) of the Systems Approach to Training applied in the military education systems of the United States, United Kingdom and the Republic of Bulgaria is made. In conclusion of this report the authors justify the opinion that the Systems Approach to Training in the context of the armed forces is an aggregation of integration processes not only aimed at the end result, but also in the learning process itself.

The article identifies the problems of completing the Armed Forces of Ukraine with officers. The problems have been identified in the light ofthe tasks that the armed forces are facing at this time. Recent studies and publications related to the training of reserve officers have beenanalyzed. Sources of staffing of foreign countries' military officers are briefly discussed. We used the system of the general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical research, in particular, the theoretical-methodological analysis of the problem and the relevant scholarly resources, systematization and generalization of the scientific information pertaining to the essence and content of the set objectives, monitoring of the existing system of military specialists training in the Armed Forces of the republic of Belarus, cientific generalisation, the general scientific methods of logical and comparative analysis, systems approach, peer review, analysis andinterpretation of the obtained theoretical and empirical data.According to the results of a sociological survey of a group of students of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev studying under thereserve officers training program, some problems of organization of military training were considered. In planning the sociological survey, all questions were summarized in six main blocks: Socio-demographic characteristics of respondents; Student motivation to make the decision to study under the Reserve Officers program and the main factors that influenced this decision; The correspondence of the specialty in which the student studies, the military specialty in which he undergoes military training; Military formations and other power structures of Ukraine, in which students plan to go to military or civil service after graduation; Conditions under which students agree to go to military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine after graduation; Measures to be taken to improve the quality of student training in the Reserve Officers Training Program. The main indicators that characterize these blocks are identified.The military training of students is an important component for staffing military units and creating a mobilization reserve for the armed forces, both in foreign countries and in Ukraine. Taking into account the results of the sociological survey and the experience of foreign countries, the following proposals have been made to build a two-tier system of training of reserve officers in Ukraine: The first level is the military-wide training of the NCO during the first year of training and the three-week training course. Students who have successfully mastered the first-level program are awarded the military rank of "junior reserve sergeant" and are certified as a platoon commander. Second level - training of reserve officers during the second year of training and 30 days of military training. Continuation of military training may be applied on a competitive basis by students who have a higher rating based on the results of the first stage of preparation.

Introduction. One of the priority directions of modernization of higher and secondary vocational education in the Russian Federation is to strengthen its practical orientation, which is largely due to the urgent need to increase the competitiveness of young people in the labor market and overcome their social infantilism and social indifference at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. In this regard, the unique historical experience gained in our country in the Soviet era in attracting students to solve the most important economic problems through the activities of student construction teams (SCT) is of particular relevance. Since the beginning of the 60s of the last century and to the present, the efforts of domestic scientists-humanitarians have created a significant number of works devoted to various problems and aspects of the SCT movement. However, among the studies of regional orientation there is not one in which the activities of SCT in Mordovia are analyzed. The purpose of this article is to study the process of the birth of the construction brigade movement among students of Mordovian universities and educational institutions of the secondary vocational education and primary vocational education systems in 1966–1970. Materials and Methods. The source base of the article was made up of documents from the Central State Archive of the Republic of Mordovia, periodicals (newspapers Young Leninist, Mordovian University), memoirs of former participants and organizers of SCT. When systematizing and analyzing concrete historical facts, along with general scientific methods (induction, deduction), special historical ones were used – ideographic, historical genetic. Results. The causes of the movement of student construction teams in Mordovia are revealed, the dynamics of the number of their personnel and the efficiency of production activity is shown. Discussion and Conclusion. By the beginning of the 70s of the last century in Mordovia, the organizational and industrial formation of the movement of student construction units had completed and, on the basis of the principle of voluntariness, it had become mass. SCT not only made a significant contribution to strengthening the material and technical base of the republic during the eighth five-year period, but also laid down the best traditions for the development of this patriotic youth movement in subsequent years.
