At the end of November, people in Russia started talking about creating a human reserve in case of a global war. Head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate (GOMU) of the Russian Defense Ministry, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces Vasily Smirnov said that in the near future it is planned to create an institute of contract reservists. The general said that the issue of changing the concept of training citizens in the reserve is being actively worked out, at the same time new system reserve training. How are things going with the mobilization reserve in Russian army How realistic are the plans of the military to create a new institute of reservists, the correspondent of Our Version understood.
According to the new plans, servicemen who have completed their conscription service and signed a contract for further service in the reserve will be able to become reservists. The services of "reserves" will be needed in case of war, when the reservists will have to quickly replenish the composition of the regular army. It is planned that the soldiers of the reserve will receive money for their readiness to immediately defend the Motherland in peacetime.
According to the forecasts of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, this institution will begin to operate in 2016. Amendments to the relevant regulations are currently being prepared. According to optimistic experts, the creation of the institution of reservists will not only solve the issue of mobilization, but may also serve as an impetus for abandoning the conscription system. And the problems with mobilization readiness are serious today - more than a year ago, the Ministry of Defense reduced the number of military commissariats in Russia by more than 20 times. Thus, the old system of mobilization was practically buried, which was completely tied to the work of these local military authorities. However, nothing new was created. As a result, according to experts, after the completion of the next reform, our army will not be able to ensure the country's defense in the event of a serious war, even on its own territory. This is based on the experience of recent military conflicts, which clearly shows that today not a single army in the world has sufficient potential to wage serious wars only with personnel.
The military understands this too. It is no coincidence that in addition to units of constant readiness, more than 60 brigade storage bases were created. As planned, these bases will be storage facilities for military equipment; clothing, weapons and ammunition are stored nearby in the district warehouses. During the mobilization period, such bases will be deployed to wartime states at the expense of the mobilization reserve. Where this reserve will suddenly appear is still unclear.
Experts believe that a participant in such exercises, Colonel of the Reserve Evgeny Agafonov, shared his impressions of these events with Our Version: “It seemed that everything was done for show, it was supposed to hold training camps - they simulated their conduct. True, no one really knew what to do with the reservists. At best, adults cut off from work and families were “loaded” with political studies, the situation worsened even more during the collapse of the army, when such gatherings turned into gatherings that turned into mass drinking parties. One way or another, the reservists returned home without strengthening their military training. At the same time, millions of state rubles were senselessly spent on such maneuvers.
The last time a major mobilization exercise was held in Russia was in 2008, as part of the Stability-2008 command post exercise. Then, as the military stated, for the first time in the post-Soviet period, an entire formation was deployed due to the call of reservists. To deploy a tank division, 10 thousand people were called up, mainly from the Perm Territory. Then the tankers even made a march from Perm to the Totsky training ground near Orenburg. The exercises were officially recognized as successful. However, it remained behind the scenes that the division was formed for almost three months, and such promptness for modern wars, to put it mildly, is insufficient. Also, nothing was mentioned about the funds spent and the titanic efforts of the military registration and enlistment office workers, who for several months, day and night, literally caught reservists at the entrances. Nothing was reported about the level of training of the reservists. As we managed to find out, such storekeepers participated in the training camp, who did not take up arms, did not sit at the levers of tanks for several decades. It is not surprising that after the "successful" exercise, this division ceased to exist.
In the course of the current reform, new ideas on how to revive the mobilization system appear regularly. Initially, high-ranking generals announced plans to form a personnel reserve institute from among the reduced young officers who did not have time to earn a pension and receive other social guarantees from the state. There were about 60,000 of them. However, these plans were soon forgotten. Today, a unique situation has developed in the Ministry of Defense, when the role of the personnel reserve is actually performed by officers reduced as a result of the military reform. The so-called freelancers, whom the Ministry of Defense cannot fire due to lack of housing. These military personnel receive part of the allowance, while they are not assigned official duties, but in the event of war they will be required to take up arms. According to the most approximate data, there are about 100 thousand of them in the Ministry of Defense today.
According to experts, the institution of contract reservists, which the military proposes to create in 2016, is a direct copy of the American “first-level reserve”. In America, retired officers and specialists of the types armed forces once a year for a month they train as part of their reserve units and units of the National Guard. Plus, they participate in major exercises twice a year for two weeks. For this they are paid money and provided with all the benefits that are due to those who serve the state.
As Alexander Khramchikhin, head of the analytical department of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis, told Our Version, today there are more questions than answers in the situation with the creation of the institution of contract reservists in the Russian army. An attempt to copy the American system will most likely crash against Russian reality, since it requires strict control over the funds allocated for the maintenance of reservists and a responsible approach to their training. In addition, this system is not the most effective today, even among the Americans it fails, which was clearly shown by the war in Iraq, where regular units were head and shoulders above the reserve ones. For Russia, the principle of the militia army of Switzerland is more suitable, a significant part of which are trained reservists - former conscripts who are annually called up for training from the reserve. Or a close, in fact, Israeli version, where after the end of regular service, all the faces of an ordinary and officers are called up annually for reservist duties for up to 45 days, the expert believes. As a result, the Israeli army has 445 thousand people at its disposal, ready at any moment to carry out any combat mission together with personnel units.
It is still unknown on what specific principle the institution of contract reservists will be created in Russia, but it is obvious that, since the Russian military leadership plans to purchase the most modern weapons and equipment in the coming years, reservists should also be a match for it. This automatically puts forward higher requirements for their training, now their training should not be carried out on a case-by-case basis, but regular meetings and exercises are necessary. Military experts have calculated that the approximate cost of maintaining contract reservists will be 1-1.5 billion rubles a year. This is the minimum amount that will keep them in good shape and will not let them lose their qualifications. As a result, these funds will ensure the deployment of a mobilization reserve of 100,000 to 200,000 in case of war. At the same time, in peacetime, the reserve military should receive incentive payments of at least 8-10 thousand per month.
However, there is no certainty that this state of affairs will suit everyone, for example, employers, because the reservist will be obliged to disappear from his workplace several times a year, and it is not a fact that they will not try to fire such an employee at the first opportunity.
The new "army" law that publishes today " Russian newspaper", radically changes the system of stay in the reserve of citizens liable for military service.
It's about on the creation in Russia of a professional mobilization human reserve. His army command and the leadership of some law enforcement agencies will be called under their banners during a war, major exercises or emergencies.
No one is going to re-drive people who have already served in the army into the barracks. For a long time to tear them away from home and work - too. The law provides for the strictly voluntary entry of reserve troops into the reserve army. That is, the mobilization reserve will include only those who themselves have expressed their desire to do so.
It might look like this. Before being transferred to the reserve, the commander will offer the soldier to sign a contract, according to which yesterday's fighter undertakes to return to duty from time to time. Another possible path- a set of contract reservists through military enlistment offices. Officers, including graduates of military departments of civilian universities, will also be able to become full-time storekeepers.
In order to interest people in "extra-term" service, they will be paid a certain amount every month. At first, the deputies believed that, depending on the military specialty and army rank, a reservist should be given a fixed salary. But after the increase in the monetary allowance of the military several times, the financial approaches to this issue have changed somewhat.
The salary of the reservists will be established by the government of the Russian Federation. But according to the law, it cannot be lower than 10 percent of the salary for the military position for which a person is assigned to a military unit, and the salary for military rank, - explained to the correspondent of "RG" the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov.
According to legislators, the purse of the storekeepers can thus be replenished monthly in the amount of 5 to 8 thousand rubles - depending on the rank and military position of the reservist.
During the training period, they will keep their average salary in civilian life. In addition, the "partisans" will receive money as ordinary contract soldiers. For such people, additional payments were also introduced, in particular, the regional coefficient and the monthly allowance for continuous stay in the reserve. It varies from 10 to 50 percent of the military salary.
The law also provides for a one-time payment at the conclusion of a new "reserve" contract. The main thing is that the storekeeper's wallet will be replenished, regardless of whether he is working or is currently in a military unit.
Under the new rules, the reservist will need to conclude the first contract for 3 years. Then this period can be extended to five years. However, to be listed as a "partisan" indefinitely will not work. The law introduces strict age limits for staying in a mobile reserve. With soldiers-sailors and warrant officers-midshipmen of the reserve, who are over 42 years old, the contract simply will not be signed. Officers in the rank of junior lieutenant to captain have a chance to start reserve service before the age of 47. Major lieutenant colonels - up to 52 years old, colonels and caperangs - up to 57 years old.
For some citizens, the path there is completely closed. This applies to people who have a deferment from mobilization and are exempt from military training. And also those who have an outstanding or unexpunged conviction, are under investigation or are the defendant in a criminal case.
The formation of a mobile reserve in Russia will begin with the creation of a second front for the Armed Forces. This year, the General Staff is organizing an experiment in some military units to recruit and train a total of 5,000 reservists.
If the first pancake does not come out lumpy, the new system will fully work in Russia in a couple of years. In 2015, according to the plans of the General Staff, the Armed Forces should have 8,600 professional reserves on hand. Then it will be the turn of recruiting a personnel reserve in other power ministries and departments.
As for the officers, soldiers and sergeants of the reserve, who did not express a desire to sign a contract for service in the mobile reserve, they will be included in the so-called mobilization human resource. Staying there will not bring additional money to people. They will still remain liable for military service, but they will become less likely to be called to army training camps than reservists. And in an emergency, they will be put under arms in the second place.
Dossier "RG"
The formation of a well-trained mobilization reserve is a common practice of leading Western countries. Its staff in Germany, France, Great Britain and the USA even exceeds the size of the armed forces.
In America, the role of the "second front" is played by the National Guard. In addition, the army and air force have their own manpower reserves. In the Department of the Navy, the reserve is divided between the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
Americans serve in the reserve voluntarily, without fail signing a contract with the military command.
In Russia, the formation of a professional mobilization reserve begins. "Partisans" who signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense will receive wages and a number of compensations, but they will be required to attend special classes every month and undergo military training annually. If necessary, the existing units will be understaffed by reservists, as well as new ones will be formed. The creation of a full-fledged professional mobilization reserve will positively affect the strengthening of the state's defense capability, military experts believe.
The Russian Ministry of Defense told journalists of the newspaper "" that from 2018 the mobilization reserve system in our country will begin to work in in full. The normative acts necessary for this have been adopted earlier. Thus, the Ministry of Defense has already conducted an experiment on the formation of an organized mobilization reserve in certain regions of Russia. The experiment lasted almost two years, its results are estimated as successful. The decree "On the creation of a mobilization manpower reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" was signed by the President of Russia on July 17, 2015. The first paragraph of this decree just prescribed the creation of a mobilization manpower reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the period of the experiment on the introduction of a new system for the preparation and accumulation of mobilization manpower. The very mechanism for attracting citizens to new structures and the conditions of contracts concluded with them are spelled out in the law “On military duty and military service”, it says that soldiers and reserve officers who have passed a medical commission can become reservists.
It is worth noting that the mobilization reserve exists in the armies of many countries of the world, this is a very common practice. For example, in the United States, the number of reservists practically corresponds to the number of regular armed forces. The reserve components include the reserves of all five branches of the armed forces, as well as the ground forces and the US Air National Guard. At the same time, the US National Guard itself, whose servicemen combine combat training with work in their main specialty, is an organized reserve. There is also an unorganized (individual) reserve, which consists of persons with sufficient military training, that is, those who have recently graduated military service and does not require additional training.
In general, it can be noted that the formation of a mobilization reserve of people signing a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense is another step towards the formation of a modern professional army in the country. In the Russian army, the number of contract soldiers already exceeds the number of conscripts. On November 7, 2017, the Chief of the General Staff, General of the Army Valery Gerasimov, said that the number of contract soldiers in the troops had doubled over the past 5 years and amounted to 384,000 people. According to plans, by the end of 2018, 425,000 contract soldiers, 220,000 officers and 50,000 ensigns and midshipmen should serve in the Russian army. Thus, the share of professional servicemen will reach 70 percent.
At present, military registration and enlistment offices are responsible for the formation of the mobilization reserve. Not all of them have started the corresponding work yet. At the same time, some, for example, in the Rostov region, are already recruiting reservists. In the military registration and enlistment office of Novoshakhtinsk in the Rostov region, reserve servicemen can already sign a contract for service in the reserve. As the Izvestia newspaper notes with reference to the military registration and enlistment office of Novoshakhtinsk, for this, citizens need to appear at the military registration and enlistment office, having a military ID and passport with them. After signing the contract, the reserve soldier will be required to undergo special training 2-3 days every month and annual training sessions lasting from 20 to 30 days. It will be possible to call on a person from the mobilization reserve at any time: in the event of major exercises, the announcement of a special or threatened period, emergency situations, or simply in case of an acute shortage of military specialists in units.
Previously, an experiment on the formation of a new mobilization reserve took place in some regions of Russia. The Northern Fleet also participated in the experiment, actively cooperating with the military registration and enlistment offices of the Murmansk region. The purpose of the experiment, which started in the Northern Fleet in August 2015, was to improve existing system training and accumulation of mobilization human resources. In an interview with the newspaper "", the head of the organizational and mobilization department (OMU) of the headquarters Northern Fleet Captain 1st Rank Vladimir Kondratov said that the first contract to the mobilization reserve on a voluntary basis is signed for 3 years, subsequent contracts - for up to 5 years. At the same time, there are age restrictions for reservists, they are for each category of citizens who are in reserve. For example, soldiers, sailors, sergeants, midshipmen and warrant officers can conclude the first contract for being in the mobilization reserve at the age of 42, junior officers - up to 47 years, senior officers - up to 57 years.
The main difference between the new approach to the formation of a mobilization reserve is that when mobilization is announced, the reservist himself must arrive at the military unit, bypassing the military registration and enlistment offices, and begin to fulfill his duties in his position according to the staff category. In addition, the reservist once a year goes to military training camps lasting up to 30 days, and every month, for one to three days, various training sessions are held with him according to the plans of military units and formations to which the reservist is assigned in accordance with the contract. At the same time, the total duration of the collections is taken into account, which cannot exceed 54 days for a year of stay in the mobilization reserve.
The new system of an organized mobilization reserve will make it possible to prepare and then maintain highly qualified personnel in combat readiness, ensuring the rapid transfer of personnel to different theaters of military operations, where there will be a need to deploy new formations, but there is not enough local mobilization resource. According to military expert Viktor Murakhovsky, the new personnel recruitment system will improve the defense capability Far East. Parts of the region have the technology, but there is a shortage of manpower.
money question
According to Izvestia, soldiers and officers entering the mobilization reserve will receive a lump-sum payment upon signing a contract: for a three-year period - in the amount of a salary, for 5 years or more - 1.5 times more. The salary of a professional reservist will consist of his official salary, regional coefficient and payments for the rank. For example, a platoon commander with the rank of senior lieutenant in the central part of the Russian Federation will receive 27.5 thousand rubles. The commander of the department with the rank of sergeant in the Kemerovo region (there is a regional allowance: "northern" - 30 percent) - 25.3 thousand rubles. True, in full this amount of money will be paid only during the passage of military training. In the rest of the period, that is, 11 months a year, contract reservists will be paid only 12 percent of the salary. In this case, a senior lieutenant from the Central part of Russia will receive 3.3 thousand rubles a month, a sergeant in the Kemerovo region - 3.036 thousand rubles.
This payment procedure is provided for by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On establishing the amount of the monthly salary for citizens of the Russian Federation who are in the mobilization human reserve, except for the period of military training” dated December 23, 2015. During the training camp, the state guarantees the reservist the preservation of the average salary or stipend. In addition, it will cover all the costs of renting housing, paying travel fees and returning home, travel expenses.
There are separate allowances for years of service. For example, 3 years after being included in the mobilization reserve, reservists will be able to receive an additional 10 percent of their salary. Over the years, this payment will grow, the maximum allowance - 50 percent - will be available after 20 years of continuous being in the mobilization reserve.
How will it work
An important difference, which has already been mentioned above, will be that the reservist will be assigned to a specific military unit or to the TsOMR - the Center for Providing Mobilization Deployment, where he will be training. This is one of the main advantages of the personnel reserve. It is impossible to create truly combat-ready and trained units, when the fighters are well acquainted with each other (at least at the level of squads and crews) and have real experience of interaction in the framework of training and military training, it is impossible due to the usual reserves that appear in the army at best once in many years of being in stock.
Military expert Vladislav Shurygin, commenting on the formation of a mobilization reserve to Izvestia journalists, noted that there are such concepts as current and temporary shortages (TNK and VNK). For example, a serviceman was transferred to a new duty station, but no one has been appointed to his place yet. This is a temporary kit. And if a soldier falls ill and is no longer able to perform his direct duties, this is the current shortage. Thus, TNK and VNK can significantly influence the combat effectiveness of military units. For example, a battalion may lack not only a few mechvods and machine gunners, but also a company commander. Their absence will significantly affect the ability of a given battalion to decide combat missions. There are also positions that are introduced only in case of war, for example, assistant machine gunner. In peacetime, such positions are not needed, but in combat conditions they are necessary. Contract reservists who have signed a contract and are assigned to a specific military unit will be able to replace TNK and VNK, their other task will be to make up for losses in war time.
Separately, experts single out the fate of the bases for the storage and repair of military equipment (BKhRVT), which will be disbanded. Until recently, only ground forces there were more than 40 such bases (14 motorized rifle). At present, the reorganization of motorized rifle BHiRVT is already underway in Russia. About a third of them are closed. Mostly, they used to only store equipment, while the staffing of such bases did not allow maintaining the stored equipment in proper technical condition. Now, in the TsOMRs created on their basis, they will store military equipment and train reservists. If necessary, such centers will be transformed into full-fledged formations and military units.
It is known that a new modern infrastructure will be built for the Centers. So, back in 2016, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the design of a new BHiRVT located on Sakhalin. This project can be called an illustration of what the mobilization deployment support center will look like. The military camp planned for construction near the village of Dachnoye will be equipped with barracks to accommodate 521 soldiers and sergeants, a headquarters and training building, a parking area of 700,000 square meters, a heated storage facility for 1,200 cars, as well as warehouses for rocket and artillery weapons and property. Special areas for storage and repair of equipment will also be built. This infrastructure will make it possible, in the event of training camps, to accept a whole battalion of reservists without any problems, to conduct the necessary exercises and work on the planned maintenance of military equipment with them.
AdvertisingFrom the first day of the new 2018 in Russia began to operate new law on the mobilization manpower reserve, which provides for the completely voluntary entry of reserve troops into the reserve troops. Decree Russian government the exact amount will be determined. For full-time storekeepers during the passage of fees, their average income in civilian life will be maintained.
So, the Committee of the Federation Council on Defense and Security decided that this year, in the course of an experiment, the process of creating a Russian full-time mobilization reserve will begin. It is known that this experiment will be carried out for 2 years. The use of reservist forces will be mainly during the war, in emergency situations and during large-scale exercises. In order to maintain the combat readiness of the reservists, they will periodically be called to training camps in brigades or divisions, where they will be retrained for new types of equipment and weapons.

Military personnel who are in the reserve and have signed a contract with the defense department will be required to attend special classes every month and take part in military training once a year.
Representatives of the department said that the first contract for 3 years is being concluded. Further, the period can be extended to five years. They also recalled that clear age limits for staying in a mobile reserve are legally established. The contract will not be signed with privates and sailors or ensigns and midshipmen, whose age will be more than 42 years. But junior officers have the opportunity to serve as a reservist until the age of 47. Further, majors-lieutenant colonels - up to 52 years old. The military of a higher rank will be able to serve even longer - up to 57 years. Servicemen who have not expressed a desire to become contract soldiers of the mob reserve will enter the mobilization human resource.
Citizens who are in the reserve (who have concluded a contract on staying in the reserve) receive cash payments, which consist of monthly payments and payments related to military fees (including payment for travel to the place of conclusion of the contract and training).
