The article determines that the basis for providing distance learning in the military education system is the subject-activity approach. The positive aspects of the application of distance learning technology from the perspective of a teacher and from the perspective of a learning subject are summarized. The processes of organization and implementation of distance learning are determined by the specifics of a military educational institution and depend on the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the teacher, his professional skills to use modern interactive teaching methods and information and communication technologies. An attempt was made to determine the main psychological and pedagogical features of the teacher, which are needed in the process of organizing distance learning. This is a high motivation for cognitive activity, the acquisition of new professional competencies, the ability to avoid subjectivity during assessment. The use of distance learning can significantly reduce the cost of training, to intensify the process of learning thanks to a variety of visual means of presenting new educational information using modern information technologies. It is proved that a promising direction of training in the system of higher military education is blended learning. This is an interactive form that optimally combines the format of full-time and distance learning. The organization of blended learning makes it possible to create an appropriate environment for the successful fulfillment of military duties while studying at a military educational institution, self-preparation for classroom studies and self-assimilation of training material at a convenient time. The use of this form of training will contribute to enhancing cognitive activity, expanding the possibilities of forming both professional competencies and “soft” skills, which are the basis for the upbringing and harmonious development of the individual in the military education system. The development of the military higher education system is connected specifically with distance learning as a priority technology based on the Moodle educational content management system. The proper organization of training allows you to create the conditions for increasing the motivation of the subject of training to mental activity and to obtain high-quality military-vocational education.
