Conscription or urgent service
A citizen who enters this type of service does not have any civilian support and preferences, unlike those in the contract army. First of all, a future soldier needs to be in military registration. Drafting commissions that select young people into the armed forces are located within municipal districts, urban districts, and intracity territories. The military commissars in these institutions hold the highest representative and leadership positions. In the Red Army it was the same.
Recruits on the agenda are subject to a medical examination, after which their suitability for service is decided. The call also includes sending the future soldier to the military commissariat and his presence here before the service begins. In the future, he will have the status of a soldier.
Contract service in the Armed Forces
Contractual positions in the army may also be held by foreign citizens. They serve along with the rest in certain positions.
