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 Hungary. The article provides information on the existing network of military educational institutions for the officer training of tactical, operational and 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 and 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 Hungary, 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. The general structure of the National University of Public Administration, the Faculty of Military Sciences and the training of officers is shown, as well as the main tasks that are solved by the institutes and training centers that are part of it are identified. An analysis of the concept, structure, goals, content and technologies of officers’ training in the armed forces of the Republic of Hungary 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 tradition. The main direction of officers’ training is their fundamental military and professional training in both the military and civilian fields. 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 Hungarian 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. Certainly, the positive elements of the experience of the Hungarian 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.

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.

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.

Much has already been written on the importance of military education and training since the creation of the independent Slovenia. Some may wonder why to re-open this topic, while others might think that nothing has been written on the issue in a while. Irrespective of the approach, this is a very dynamic area, filled with action and changes, especially with regard to activities in the context of the classic military education and training, international military exercises, and participation in international operations and missions. Last year, the Slovenian Armed Forces adopted the Doctrine of Military Education and Training. It was signed by the then minister on 15 March 2013. The Doctrine reflects the changes that the Bologna Process has brought into the European environment. It could be said that the Bologna Process planted the desire and necessity in the European spirit to be more comparable, interoperable and of higher quality. The quality of education, training and advanced training is gaining importance in both the European Union and the Alliance. Increasing integration and transparency of educational institutions are blurring the boundaries and divisions between the public and military educational institutions. There are substantive differences between the two, while the common objective is being the best. Regardless of the international links, the foundations of the public and military educational institutions are in the domain of individual countries. These are always the ones that allow, direct and provide the organizational, substantive and financial conditions for the operation and, in particular, the development of such institutions in which our common future is being developed. It has been known for some time that there is a constant decrease in educational resources in the broadest sense, which is a reason more for increasing the quality of education and better utilizing the internal potentials. What, therefore, is new in military education and training? The future vision of military education in relation to the latest European trends in Romania and the Romanian Armed Forces is presented by Olivian Stănică in his paper titled Global Success of “Europe 2020” – Remodelling Education Systems, Even Military Ones?. In his paper Security Studies – Synthesis between Academy and Practice, Darko Trifunović, Serbia, points to various conflict situations in the world and the ways to resolve them, building on the example of the “Arab Spring”. The key quality issue is whether the education systems follow and include the latest knowledge acquired from practice. The Macedonian approach to the development of the military education system is described by Slavko Angelevski and Metodi Hadji-Janev in their paper titled Contemporary Challenges in Military Education – Macedonian Military Academy in the Context. They claim that the redefinition of the role and responsibilities of the Military Academy “General Mihailo Apostolski” in Skopje was most affected by the dynamics of the transformation processes in the Alliance and Macedonia. The Slovenian view of military education and training is presented by Vinko Vegič and Stojan Zabukovec who, in the paper titled Officer Education: From Discussions on the Organization to the Consideration of Contents, emphasize the importance of higher quality at all levels of military education and training. Particular focus is placed on the role and importance of quality providers. Miha Rijavec, in his paper titled Future of the Officer Career Development System in the Slovenian Armed Forces, derives from the recent organizational changes in the Slovenian Armed Forces and proposes the introduction of several best practises from the British Army, which he believes would bring added value to the Slovenian officer career development system. “Auftragstaktik” is a German term for the doctrine principles which are the product of the Prussian-German military school. In English, the term best suited to this expression is mission command. This prompted the writing of Viktor Potočnik, who addressed the topic in his paper titled Auftragstaktik/Mission Command in the Slovenian Armed Forces. We hope that the content presented above contributes to the development of military scientific and professional thought. We particularly want to encourage all those who are interested in military topics. Perhaps, here and there, you sometimes think of writing something on a military topic you are well familiar with, but there is not much literature on your topic. This might be a good reason and an additional incentive for writing.

Under the "Authorisations of the Minister of National Defence" (latest - No. 57/MON dated 22 December 2014), a Permanent Expert Team operates at the Institute of Armament Technology of the Faculty of Mechatronics and Aerospace of the Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland), performing test shootings for the purpose of verifying the fulfilment of technical requirements to be met by garrison shooting ranges and their locations. During almost 20 years of its activity, the Team has conducted research studies under more than 325 civil law contracts concluded with operators of shooting ranges, numerous expert analyses and prepared specialist opinions for courts and prosecutor's offices, and participated in the creation of normative acts and documents, concerning - among others - provision of safety of the operated field training facilities, mainly garrison and training ground shooting ranges. The results of the Team's work have been used, among others, by the Ministry of National Defence (with the active participation of the Team) to prepare regulations of the Minister of National Defence concerning the technical conditions to be met by garrison shooting ranges and their locations. The first of these regulations was issued on 4 October 2001 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2001, no. 132, item 1479), and its latest revision on 15 December 2017 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2018, item 113). The paper presents selected results of studies of the Permanent Expert Team related to, among others, ensuring the safety of users of garrison and training ground shooting ranges, which form a part of the field training facilities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, the Police, the Border Guard, the Customs Service, security companies, hunting and sports organisations. Of particular value are the conclusions and propositions of the Expert Team related to, for example: improvement of quality of the law created in Poland, concerning in particular training facilities; ensuring safety at shooting ranges during training with firearms of various types and calibres, utilising various types of ammunition; expert supervision over construction, acceptance and operation of shooting ranges; principles of safe operation of shooting ranges, ensuring longevity of the facilities, etc.

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. Abstract The article depicts the military education model of the Slovenian Armed Forces and the possibility of its further development, which are both based on archive resources and SWOT analysis. It describes the integration of the military education and scientific and research system in the Slovenian Armed Forces with the education system and scientific research system in the Republic of Slovenia and internationally. It first describes the development of military education in the armed forces of the Republic of Slovenia, which was formed anew after Slovenia’s independence in 1991. It ranges from the basic conscript training to the most advanced forms of military education and scientific and research efforts in the field of military science. The article continues by presenting the shortfalls of the current military education system and possible ways of its development, which can be directed in a similar way as in other allied nations, namely by incorporating it into the Bologna education system and scientific research system. Key words: Republic of Slovenia, Slovenian Armed Forces, military education, Bologna education system, SWOT analysis

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.
