“Memo to a young officer of the RTV Air Force” (hereinafter referred to as the “Memo”) was developed by the teaching staff specifically for graduates of the Military Training Center of the Institute of Military Training of the Siberian Federal University on the basis of federal laws of the Russian Federation, guidelines of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and also taking into account many years experience of current officers of the RTV Air Defense, Air Force and proposals from commanders of units and units of the RTV in accordance with modern requirements for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
The “Memo” outlines recommendations for a young officer on issues of combat readiness and combat duty, provides recommendations on working with subordinates, preparing and conducting combat training classes, as well as on other issues of daily activities.
We hope that the information presented in this “Memo” will be in demand by young officers both during their formation in primary officer positions (chief of the RET model), and when managing radio engineering units. However, the information presented must be used creatively, not forgetting that it is for reference only. When making the most important decisions, it is necessary to refer to various types of guidance documents given in this “Memo”.
The following took part in the preparation of the “Memo”: Colonel V.A. Kopylov; reserve colonels A.V. Chernenko, V.S. Kunchev (responsible for the issue); reserve lieutenant colonel V.M. Kakotkin; Colonel V.M. Batsylev, Colonel S.N. Gritsenko.
BASIC CONCEPTS
ABOUT THE AIR OFFENSIVE OPERATION
Analysis of the current state of groupings of aerospace attack means of potential adversaries, including near the borders of Russia, analysis of local conflicts, and the elimination of the “undesirable” state structure of some countries by armed means allows us to assert that they are capable of launching an air attack from almost any direction.Considering that more than 80% of strategically important objects on the territory of Russia are within the reach of modern and promising aerospace attack means, the main danger to the Russian Federation in the initial and subsequent periods of the war will be the forces and means of air attack.

Fig.1. Geopolitical position of the Russian Federation and possible distribution of SVKN Fig.2. Variants of aerospace danger for the Russian Federation In accordance with the guidelines of the American military doctrine, wars in which the United States may participate are classified according to their scale and means of waging them. By scale, wars are divided into general and limited, and by means of warfare - into wars using nuclear weapons and other means of mass destruction or using only conventional weapons. Along with the classification of wars by scale and means of waging them, US doctrine subdivides all possible forms of armed struggle in interstate relations by intensity. At the same time, three groups of such conflicts are distinguished: high, medium and low intensity.
Possible options for military action against Russia:
the first is the introduction of groups of troops (forces) of a potential aggressor into Russian territory into a conflict area under the guise of a peacekeeping contingent.
the second is the involvement of Russia in military conflicts on the territory of neighboring states, mainly in the post-Soviet space, with their subsequent escalation and transfer of military operations to Russian territory.
the third is aggression against a union state with the subsequent deployment of military actions against Russia.
the fourth is direct aggression against the Russian Federation after partial or complete strategic deployment of the enemy’s armed forces (coalition of states).
Under the strategic aerospace direction (strategist.
VKN) is understood as a conventionally defined strip of near-Earth aerospace space, the territory of the earth's surface and the waters of the world's oceans, within which groups of air, missile, space forces and means, as well as forces and means of combating them, performing strategic tasks, are based and can conduct military operations.
Each strategic air force is divided into several air directions.
The air direction (VN) is a part of the strategic aerospace direction, within which military operations are based and can be carried out by groups of air and missile forces and means, as well as forces and means of combating them, performing operational and operational-strategic tasks.
Forms of use of air and space attack forces of the Air Force
US in offensive actions:
Aerospace Operation (ASO);
Air campaign;
Air offensive operation (AOC);
Systematic combat operations.
The main form of use of VKN forces in a general nuclear war is the aerospace operation (ASO).
It represents the actions of aerospace attack forces on several strategic air defense forces, carried out with the aim of destroying the enemy’s nuclear missile and economic potential, suppressing his will to resist by deeply destroying important strategic objects.
Aerospace defense refers to missile and air strikes of strategic and operational-tactical offensive forces coordinated and interconnected in purpose, place and time, carried out according to a single concept and plan to accomplish certain strategic tasks.
An air campaign is a set of first and subsequent air offensive operations, united by a common plan and aimed at achieving the most important military-strategic goals in a theater of war (theater of war). The use of strategic bombers with conventional weapons is considered necessary for the success of an air campaign. The duration of an air campaign in a theater of operations, including offensive air operations and systematic combat operations of air attack forces, can be up to 30 days.
The main form of use of air attack weapons (AEA) in a war using only conventional weapons is air attack weapons.
The term "airborne military action" is understood as a set of interconnected and coordinated in purpose, place and time of combat operations carried out in a theater of operations by operational-tactical forces using conventional weapons and a limited number of strategic aviation according to a single concept and plan.
VNO parameters:
The front width is up to 800 km with a breakthrough of the air defense system in several areas of 50–250 km;
Operation depth – 1800–2000 km;
The duration of the operation is from 3 to 5 days.
Systematic combat operations are the main form of combat use of the Air Force in low-intensity conflicts, when there is no need for the massive use of air strikes to achieve the goals of an armed conflict.
The main method of using SVKN in aerospace defense is considered to be the delivery of massive missile and aviation nuclear strikes (MRNUA).
The first MRAAU can be applied in several ways:
sudden;
proactive;
reciprocal
A surprise strike is carried out, subject to its covert preparation, by the composition of the duty forces of ICBMs and SSBNs from the composition of land- and sea-based missile forces with the aim of destroying the enemy's retaliatory strike means.
A pre-emptive strike can be delivered during the accelerated transfer of strategic offensive forces (SAF) to increased levels of combat readiness upon receipt of irrefutable data about an impending surprise strike by the enemy.

Rice. 7. Tasks solved by radio technical troops Thus, air defense is one of the main components of the country’s aerospace defense and is designed to solve the following main tasks:
Conducting reconnaissance of enemy air;
Protection of the State Border of the Russian Federation in the airspace;
Combating enemy air attacks;
Monitoring compliance with federal rules for the use of Russian airspace.
The effective functioning of this system is ensured by the radar reconnaissance system, the basis of which is the radio technical troops (RTV).
BASICS OF TROOP COMBAT READINESS
The main and main directions of maintaining troops in a state of combat readiness are:
Combat readiness;
Combat training;
Law and order and military discipline;
Measures to comprehensively support the daily life and activities of troops.
The combat effectiveness of units and subunits is achieved as a result of a long process of their formation, organizational and combat coordination, training, training and education of personnel. As a result of such multilateral activity and training, they turn into military organisms and become combat-ready, that is, capable of performing their inherent defense tasks.
Components of troop combat readiness:
Personnel (staffing, selection and placement);
Equipment, weapons and material resources;
Trained and highly professional personnel;
Highly trained command and management personnel;
High readiness of the forces and means on duty to immediately repel the first strike;
Military Science;
Studying the experience of wars;
Moral and psychological training of personnel;
The degree of combat readiness of troops is such a state of troops in which they are able to either immediately begin to carry out a combat mission and fully use their combat capabilities to repel an enemy attack, or bring themselves to a higher degree of combat readiness to carry out combat missions in the shortest possible time.”
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have four levels of combat readiness: CONSTANT, INCREASED, MILITARY DANGER and COMPLETE.
The combat readiness of troops CONSTANT troops is such a state in which they are able to begin performing combat missions with the forces on duty immediately, and with the rest of the troops within the established time frame.
INCREASED combat readiness of troops is such a state in which they are able to begin carrying out combat missions with a reinforced composition of duty forces immediately, and with the rest of the personnel - within the established time frame.
The combat readiness of troops MILITARY DANGER is such a state in which they are able to begin performing combat missions with all forces of constant readiness immediately, and newly formed and mobilized ones - within the established time frame.
FULL combat readiness of troops is such a state in which they are able to begin carrying out combat missions with all their forces in the shortest possible time or immediately and fully use their combat capabilities to repel an attack from enemy aerospace forces.
THE FORMATION OF A YOUNG OFFICER
Taking office is a crucial moment in the career of a young officer, and how competently, in accordance with the requirements of governing documents, this is done will largely determine the success in solving the tasks facing him.Service begins with presentation to superiors.
According to Art. 61 of the Charter of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, officers newly appointed to a unit are introduced to the unit commander, his deputies, and upon receipt of appointment to the unit - to the unit commander and deputies.
Introducing himself to officials, the graduate reports: “Comrade Colonel! Lieutenant Ivanov has arrived for further service.”
The unit commander or his deputy introduces newly arrived officers to the officer corps of the unit and subunit. The officer being introduced must pay attention to his appearance and combat smartness, and be prepared to answer questions clearly, confidently and frankly. When answering questions, you need to be modest, but not lose your self-esteem.
The formation of a young officer refers to the initial period of his service in a new position, during which, under the guidance of his superiors, he acquires the knowledge and professional skills necessary for a complete and high-quality solution of problems.
The formation period includes three stages:

DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES
AND ACTIVITIES OF THE RTV DIVISION
The daily activities of units (units) are a continuous process of preparing and conducting activities that ensure their constant combat readiness to perform combat and other missions.The structure of the daily activities of RTV divisions (parts) is multifaceted and covers almost all areas of their activity:
Combat duty;
Combat training;
Troop service;
Equipment, maintenance and operation of weapons and military equipment;
Military discipline and law and order;
Security of military service;
COMBAT DUTY
RTV Air Force - troops of constant combat readiness. This is a decisive condition for timely and effective air defense radar and aviation for the successful fight against violators of the air borders of the Russian Federation, as well as for preventing a surprise attack by an enemy air force.
The duty forces and means of the Radio Technical Troops of the Russian Air Force perform the following tasks:
1. Continuous conduct of radar reconnaissance with the issuance of radar information to higher, supported and interacting command posts.
2. Ensuring the timely transfer of radio engineering units to the highest levels of combat readiness.
3. Radar control over flights of the State Border of the Russian Federation and aircraft flights in the border (seaside) 150-kilometer strip over the territory of the Russian Federation within the capabilities of the duty radar field, and outside this strip - over certain categories of aircraft, determined by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.
4. Dispatcher control over the flights of its air assets.
5. Issuance of radar information to air defense forces on duty fighting to repel aircraft incursions into the airspace of the Russian Federation.
6. Notifying units of radio engineering troops about flights of reconnaissance space assets and issuing information about air targets in warning networks.
7. Radar control over the flights of combat and combat training aircraft (helicopters) of the aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation outside the established air routes of the Russian Federation and local air lines, over the waters of the seas in coastal areas, as well as control over the flights of aircraft of the letters “A”, other letters and special aircraft (helicopters).
8. Monitoring the radiation, chemical and biological situation in the areas of positions of radio engineering units and command posts of units and immediate delivery of information to a higher command post about observed nuclear explosions and radioactive, chemical and biological contamination of the area.
The regimental command post and all radio engineering units deployed in positions are involved in combat duty in a radio engineering regiment.
Allowed are personnel who, due to their business, moral and psychological qualities, health status and level of training, are capable of performing combat duty tasks, occupying the appropriate regular positions or trained from among related specialists, approved for the operation of weapons and military equipment, who have mastered the safety and fire safety rules, their duties in composition of the combat crew.
Some of the radio engineering units are on duty with RET turned on according to the schedule to conduct continuous radar reconnaissance and issue radar information to the duty forces of the aerospace defense brigade.
Combat duty in radio engineering units is carried out by combat crews assigned for the day, the shift of which takes place at 9.00 local time.
The combat crew of the RTB command post (PU orlr) is assigned to solve the tasks of controlling subordinate units (crews).
The composition of a unit's combat crew is individual for each RTB (ORL) and depends on the number and types of SRL, CSA, communications equipment in service, the order of battle, and the chosen option for performing the combat mission. The specific composition of the combat crew of the radio engineering unit, indicating the number of shifts and the duration of work of each of them, is indicated in the order on the procedure for carrying out combat duty in the unit and is communicated to the unit by an extract from the order.
Depending on the current situation at the RTB command post (orlr PU), duty (combat work is carried out) is carried out by a duty combat crew, a reinforced duty combat crew, or a full combat crew.
For continuous control of units and the implementation of combat duty tasks at the command post (CP) in peacetime, round-the-clock combat duty is established, carried out by a duty combat crew led by an operational duty officer of the command post, duty control post.
If there is a threat of violation (violation) of the State Border of the Russian Federation by aircraft, bringing to the highest levels of combat readiness or in other cases of complications of the situation, the combat crew on duty is reinforced, the battalion (company) commander or a person replacing him arrives at the command post with the necessary group assigned to strengthening the duty combat crew.
A list of officials included in the reinforcement group of the duty combat crew should be kept in case of their call by the operational duty officer of the RTB command post, orlr control post.
The degree of readiness of on-duty forces and assets is such a state of combat crews and equipment in which they are able to begin performing specific combat missions immediately or in the shortest possible time.
Four levels of readiness are established for air defense forces and assets on duty:
readiness No. 1 - at the command post (SKP, PU, TsBU), PN, equipment and weapons, depending on the situation, there are full or reduced combat crews. The equipment and weapons are turned on, tested for operation and ready for combat use, radar, radio and electronic reconnaissance equipment is conducting reconnaissance. Fighters and combat helicopters are prepared for departure, the crews are in the cockpits in full equipment, ready to take off upon a signal from the command post. Communications equipment is turned on and provides combat control;
readiness No. 2 – at the command post (SKP, PU, TsBU), PN, equipment and weapons there are duty shifts of reduced combat crews. Equipment and weapons have been tested and prepared for use; some radar, radio and electronic intelligence equipment are conducting reconnaissance.
Fighters and combat helicopters are prepared for departure, the crews are partially equipped and are in special rooms. Communication means have been checked, some of them are turned on and provide control of the forces and means on duty for air defense;
readiness No. 3 – at the command post (SKP, PU, TsBU), PN, equipment and weapons there are duty shifts of reduced combat crews. Equipment and weapons have been checked and prepared for use. Fighters and combat helicopters are prepared for departure, the crews are in special rooms without equipment. Communication means have been checked, some of them are turned on and provide control of the forces and means on duty for air defense;
readiness No. 4 - at the command post (SKP, PU, TsBU), PN, equipment and weapons there are personnel in an amount that ensures the reception and transmission of commands (signals) and is sufficient to notify and assemble a reduced combat crew. Equipment and weapons have been checked and prepared for use. Fighters and combat helicopters are prepared for departure, the crews are engaged in accordance with the daily routine. By decision of regiment and squadron commanders, they can be involved in flights according to the combat training plan. Communication means have been checked, some of them are turned on and provide control of the air defense forces and assets on duty.
Admission to combat duty for officers and warrant officers of radio engineering battalions and individual radar companies is carried out by order of the commander of the regiment, which includes the specified units.
The list of persons allowed to carry out combat duty, indicating their position in the combat crew, is announced by order of the regiment commander and communicated to the units by extracts from the order.
Orders are issued based on the results of personnel passing tests on knowledge of functional duties, documents regulating the organization and performance of combat duty, and the practical performance of duties in the workplace.
Testing the knowledge and practical skills of officers and warrant officers admitted as operational duty command posts (pupil duty officers) is carried out personally by the chief of staff of the radio engineering regiment with the involvement of the necessary specialists, the rest of the personnel is checked by unit commanders.
An official is allowed to carry out combat duty if the answers to all theoretical questions are credited to him and he completes all practical activities.
Persons who have a break in combat duty of more than 30, but less than 65 days, can be assigned to a combat crew only after completing probationary duty. Persons who have a break in combat duty of 65 days or more are allowed to carry out combat duty after testing their knowledge, practical skills and completing internship duty.
Radio-electronic equipment is allowed for combat duty if it is deployed in a position, is combat-ready, has means of objective control, is manned, has been flown over, and has been declared by unit order to be placed on combat duty.
The involvement of SRL, KSA, and communications equipment in combat duty is carried out according to a schedule drawn up at the headquarters of the aerospace defense brigade. Extracts from this schedule are sent to departments.
Personnel are assigned to combat duty on the eve of the day of entry.
The appointment of officers, warrant officers, female military personnel and military personnel hired on a contract basis to combat duty is carried out by order of the commander of the radio engineering regiment on a daily basis. The remaining persons on duty combat crews are determined by the schedules of duty combat crews of the RTB (orlr). The compiled schedules of duty combat crews of the RTB (orlr) are filled out in separate journals on the eve of the day of going on combat duty, approved (signed) by unit commanders, communicated to the personnel and stored for a year. Replacement of persons assigned to the combat crew on duty is permitted by the decision of the commander who approved the schedule of the combat crew, about which a corresponding entry is made in the log.
The number of radar operators (RLS), PRV, ACS, and other specialists assigned to combat duty must ensure their shift work.
The time of continuous work of operators behind the indicator screens should not exceed two hours.
Training of personnel for combat duty is carried out as part of units and combat duty crews before each deployment on combat duty. It is divided into preliminary and immediate.
Preliminary training of the personnel of the unit's combat duty crew is carried out on the day before taking up combat duty in specially equipped classes. In this case, the duration of classes is set depending on the level of training of personnel.
The main forms of training personnel for combat duty are:
Solving tactical problems (flights);
Conducting training with combat crew on duty;
Development of individual standards and calculation standards;
Practical testing of issues related to the use of operating modes of electronic electronic devices and communications equipment.
In addition, it is planned to conduct group classes, briefings, study orders, manuals and other documents regulating the organization and performance of combat duty, as well as an analysis of the shortcomings of combat duty and independent training of personnel.
These classes and training must be carried out taking into account the specific combat mission, the combat capabilities of the unit, various environmental conditions and the actions of personnel in special cases of duty according to a separate schedule and taken into account in a separate log.
To ensure high-quality training of personnel for combat duty, the results of an analysis of the organization and performance of combat duty, monitoring the readiness of the duty forces, which are reflected in orders issued to the radio engineering regiment once a quarter, can also be used.
When preparing personnel for combat duty, educational radio-electronic equipment and communications equipment, simulators, mock-ups, teaching aids, as well as educational materials from specially equipped classrooms can be used.
Electronic equipment and communications equipment are prepared for combat duty in advance during daily activities by carrying out maintenance (repair and troubleshooting) in accordance with current plans, schedules, manuals and instructions.
Preliminary training of officers and warrant officers of the duty combat crew of the CP (PU) is carried out under the leadership of the commander.
Preliminary training with the privates and non-commissioned personnel of the duty combat crew is organized by unit commanders and crew chiefs.
Direct training of personnel, electronic equipment and communications equipment is carried out on the day of entering combat duty in order to clarify the situation, received orders and assess the readiness of personnel and workplaces for combat duty.
The main forms of preparation for combat duty are:
solving tactical problems (flying missions), conducting training taking into account a specific combat mission and possible situational conditions. In addition, provision should be made for group classes, lectures, briefings, the study of orders, directives and methodological manuals on combat readiness, combat duty and actions in conflict situations, analysis of shortcomings and combat duty in air defense using specific examples, as well as independent training of personal composition.
Direct preparation usually includes:
Bringing to light the current situation and shortcomings noted over the past 24 hours;
Instructing and assigning tasks to the personnel of the duty combat crew;
Conducting daily technical inspection, taking measures to eliminate identified deficiencies.
Checking the readiness of personnel, electronic equipment and communications equipment for combat duty is carried out by commanders and relevant officials of units at the stage of preliminary and immediate preparation.
Readiness control can be carried out by:
Testing knowledge of functional responsibilities by officials of the duty combat crew;
Inspections of officials according to standards;
Monitoring the functioning of radio-electronic equipment and communications;
Announcements (delivery) of introductory notes with subsequent monitoring and evaluation of actions on them, etc.
On the day of entering combat duty on the SRL, KSA, and communications equipment, ETO is carried out, as provided for in the operating instructions when the corresponding set of electronic equipment and communications equipment is turned on. The commanders of the sets (engineers, shift supervisors) make an entry in the combat duty log about readiness for combat use.
PROCEDURE FOR ENTERING INTO COMBAT DUTY
The process of joining combat duty includes the following elements:
Conducting the ritual of entering combat duty;
Occupation of workplaces by combat crew on duty;
Checking the condition of the material part (workplaces);
Report on readiness to carry out a combat mission.
Taking up combat duty is carried out in a solemn atmosphere in accordance with the Regulations on the organization of training, the procedure and ritual of taking on combat duty.
The ritual of entering combat duty is an important and effective form of instilling in military personnel high personal responsibility for fulfilling the tasks facing them.
The ritual must be performed clearly and in an organized manner. To add solemnity to the ritual and increase its emotional impact on personnel entering combat duty, the raising of the State Flag and the performance of the National Anthem of the Russian Federation are used.
All personnel of the unit not engaged in service take part in the ritual of entering combat duty.
The ritual of entering combat duty is carried out by unit commanders, their deputies or persons appointed by them.
The place, time and procedure for the ritual of entering combat duty is determined by the unit commander. To carry out the ritual, areas with a hard surface, markings for placing military personnel, visual propaganda and a mast for raising the National Flag of the Russian Federation, as well as technical means for playing recordings of the National Anthem of the Russian Federation and military marches are equipped.
When setting tasks for combat duty, the battalion (company) commander pays special attention to:
The correct setting of the operating modes of the electronic equipment when they are turned on for combat duty;
Timely detection of targets and provision of information on them from the first mark;
Features and procedure for radar support of fire weapons in various air conditions;
Monitoring the serviceability of the electronic equipment equipment and objective control during duty;
The procedure for using objective monitoring equipment;
Vigilance on combat duty.
At the end of the briefing, the battalion (company) commander gives the command: “Battalion (company)! BE EQUAL! HUMBLY! Listen to the order!
(Unit number) to the radio technical battalion (separate radar company) for combat duty to protect the air borders of the Russian Federation - STEP IN!”
The National Anthem of the Russian Federation is performed and the National Flag of the Russian Federation is raised.
At the end of the anthem, the battalion (company) commander gives the command:
“Battalion (company)! Right! MARCH to combat duty!”
The unit's personnel march solemnly in front of the commander.
After passing through the solemn march of the ODKP (DPU), the duty officer leads the squad to the command post (PU). Having stopped the duty crew, the ODKP (DPU) commands: “The combat crew on duty take their jobs, take duty and report on their readiness to carry out the combat mission! Walking to work places - MARCH!
At the facilities, the combat crew on duty monitors the operation, sets the operating modes of the equipment, checks the correctness of static information applied to the IKO, and the serviceability of the objective monitoring equipment. On duty, the persons on duty sign in the logs and report to the ODKP (DPU).
The commanders of the RET sets report to the company commander about the readiness of the RET for combat use or about the measures taken for restoration and make a corresponding entry in the combat duty log.
Having made sure of the readiness of electronic electronic equipment, communications and objective control for combat use and the readiness of all members of the combat duty crew to carry out combat duty tasks, the OD KP (DPU) assigns a combat mission to all officials of the combat crew, signs in the combat duty log and reports on the entry to combat duty to the commander of a battalion (company), ODKP VKP, ODKP of supported air defense units, electronic warfare, and air force aviation.
Proper organization of combat duty, high-quality performance of combat missions by radio technical units and subunits, knowledge and accurate performance of their duties, the degree of training of command post (PU) combat crews, continuous, stable control and high survivability of control points, provision of reliable communications, as well as skillful and organized management units both during preparation and during combat use is a necessary condition for the successful execution of a combat mission by radio technical units and subunits.
COMBAT TRAINING
Combat training is the main content of the daily activities of commanders, staffs and troops. It is carried out both in peacetime and in wartime and is determined by the needs of the Air Force RTV for well-trained military personnel, units, and military units capable of successfully performing the tasks assigned to them.
Combat training includes:
Single and individual training of military personnel;
Preparation (coordination) of crews, units, military units;
Preparation (coordination) of management bodies (headquarters).
Single training - training of sergeants and soldiers after their arrival at a military unit (unit). Its goal is to give military personnel the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to perform duties in combat, when handling weapons, military equipment and performing daily service.
Single training for sergeants and soldiers includes:
Initial (combined arms) training of military personnel, including those entering military service under a contract;
Acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities for the position held;
Studying the basics of training and education of personnel, developing command skills among sergeants;
Preparation and passing tests for admission to independent work on equipment, combat duty, assignment (confirmation) of class qualifications, mastering a related specialty. A distinctive feature of single-person training is the predominance of the duration of classes under the guidance of a commander (chief) over the duration of the student’s independent work to master job responsibilities.
Individual training – maintaining and improving the knowledge, skills and abilities of military personnel. Its goal is complete and high-quality mastery of job and special duties. A distinctive feature of individual training is the predominance of the duration of the student’s independent work in mastering job responsibilities over the duration of classes under the guidance of the commander (chief).
The training of crews, units, and military units of the Air Force RTV is carried out with the aim of ensuring their constant readiness for combat use in any situation in accordance with their combat mission and is carried out during the development of combat coordination tasks.
Combat coordination is the training of military personnel in coordinated actions as part of duty shifts, crews, units, with subsequent training as part of a military unit of the RTV to carry out combat missions as intended.
Training of command and control bodies (headquarters) is carried out with the aim of ensuring their readiness for planning combat use, training and command of troops in any situation, as well as resolving issues of interaction and comprehensive support.
Requirements for the training levels of sergeants and soldiers
The direction of training for soldiers undergoing conscription military service is: at the initial stage - acquiring knowledge and skills in a military specialty at a level that allows them to begin independently performing the duties of their position (including taking up combat duty); in the future - achieving a level of confident performance of duties in a difficult environment.
The direction of training for sergeants and soldiers serving under contract is a thorough mastery of the military specialty, allowing them to confidently and with high efficiency perform the duties of their position in any combat situation.
Distribution of study time.
Forms and methods of training sergeants and soldiers Combat training is carried out during the academic year, the duration of which is established by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. The academic year is divided into two academic periods: winter and summer, lasting five months each.
After the end of the study period and before the start of the next, a preparatory period of one month is provided for the purpose of:
Acceptance of replenishment and release to the reserve of military personnel who have served a specified period of service;
Summing up and setting tasks for troop training;
Planning (clarification of planning) combat training;
Conducting training (educational and methodological) gatherings;
Transfer of weapons and military equipment to seasonal operation, if the time period coincides with local climatic conditions;
Development, improvement, maintenance and preparation of educational material and technical base.
During the preparatory period, classes on public and state training of sergeants and soldiers, training to maintain the level of combat proficiency of personnel and the coherence of combat crews do not stop.
Each training period includes stages of separate and joint training of sergeants and soldiers. Separate training is carried out for one month, joint training – for four months.
The separate stage of training begins from the moment a young recruit enters a non-staff training unit of a military unit and continues until the young soldiers complete the Combat Training Program for recruits who have entered (called up) for military service. During the separate stage, the remaining military personnel are engaged in improving professional training, mastering related specialties, preparing for and passing tests to improve their class qualifications.
The joint stage of training corresponds to the stage of practicing combat coordination tasks for combat crews, subunits, and military units of the RTV Air Force.
Combat training of military personnel is organized within the framework of a typical month and week of training.
After lunch, training sessions are held on poorly understood topics, independent training, preparation of daily duty and guard duty, practical training on preparing weapons and military equipment for combat use, training of non-standard units, special teams and crews. The duration of a teaching hour is 50 minutes.
Forms of training for sergeants and soldiers according to their place in the service process are divided into:
Educational and planned forms - lecture, seminar, conversation (story-conversation), class-group lesson, demonstration lesson, training (including incidental), exercise, practical lesson, tactical (tactical-special) lesson, instructor-methodological lesson, complex lesson, tactical (special tactical) exercise, control lesson (test lesson), competition (competition);

The Military Intelligence website contains very interesting material from the lifestyle of Russian officers in pre-revolutionary Russia.
The work of captain V.M. Kulchitsky's "Advice to a Young Officer" went through six editions in the years from 1915 to 1917 alone. The seventh was prevented by the events of October the seventeenth. “Advice to a young officer,” their author wrote, “is equally useful to those in the front lines and in the rear of the army. Their goal is the desire to prevent inexperienced military youth from taking a false, disastrous step. Here are collected old but eternal truths, which are forgotten by most and unknown to young officers."
BASIS AND ESSENCE OF MILITARY SERVICE
- Believe in God, be devoted to the Sovereign Emperor, his family and love your Motherland. The first and main commandment and duty of a soldier is loyalty to the Sovereign Emperor and the Fatherland. Without this quality he is not fit for military service. The integrity of the Empire and the maintenance of its prestige are based on the strength of the army and navy; their quality and shortcomings resonate throughout the country, so it’s not your place to get involved in social issues and political speculation; your job is to unswervingly fulfill your duties.
—Put the glory of the Russian army above all else.
- Be brave. But courage can be true and feigned. The arrogance characteristic of youth is not courage. A military man must always be prudent and consider his actions calmly and carefully. If you are harsh and arrogant, everyone will hate you.
- Obey discipline.
- Respect your superiors and trust them.
- Be afraid of breaking your duty - you will forever lose your good name.
- An officer must be faithful and truthful. Without these qualities, it is almost impossible for a military man to remain in the army. Faithful is a person who fulfills his duty; truthful - if he does not change his word. Therefore, never promise if you are not sure that you will fulfill your promise.
- Be polite and modest in your dealings with all people.
--The best part of courage is caution.
II. ARRIVAL TO THE REGIMENT
Having arrived at the regiment, the officer acts in accordance with Art. Garrison Service Charter 400 and 401, that is, he is the regiment commander. In practice, they do this: arriving at the office at about 11 o’clock, the officer introduces himself and gets acquainted, first of all, with the regimental adjutant, who gives all the necessary instructions, since each regiment has its own customs/traditions. If an officer appears to the regiment commander at his apartment, then, if he does not find him at home, he should appear a second time, trying to catch him; It is not recommended to sign and leave a service ticket for the first time.
Report for duty to the commander of the company (hundred, squadron) of the battery to which the appointment took place. Taking a list with the addresses of the city from the senior clerk in the office. officers and noting the married ones, make visits to everyone without delaying them. (In wartime, visits are not made. The time to introduce yourself to your superiors is uncertain and the dress code is casual). It is recommended to have time to do them all at once, in one day. The dress code is formal. The rest of the time: on all official occasions, visits, congratulations - ordinary, unless it is given in the order for the regiment to be in it. If you don't find your elder at home, leave your service ID (not a business card). For married people - an official ID and a business card.
Before being presented to the regiment commander and without having yet reported to the regiment, one should not appear in public places (theaters, gardens, concerts, evenings), as it is considered tactless. Upon arrival at the regiment, the first impression is of serious importance.
Having not yet arrived at the regiment, and while on vacation, having met officers of your regiment (in the same city), you should definitely approach him and introduce yourself first.
III. ATTITUDE TO YOUR BOSS AND YOURSELF
- Always remember that you are an officer.
- Be formal with your superiors.
- Remember that the boss is always and everywhere the boss.
- Never criticize the actions and actions of your superiors in general; at any level - especially and, God forbid, at the lower ranks.
- Every order of a superior, no matter in what form it is expressed (suggestion, request, advice), is an order.
- If you are senior in rank, and according to the distribution of positions you will be subordinate to a junior, you are obliged to carry out all the orders of the person placed above you, without any argument.
- If you come on vacation for three days or less, then, when you appear in person, you must certainly send your vacation ticket to the commandant’s office. If you arrive for more than three days, you must appear in person to the commandant.
-- At the end of the vacation period, he is obliged to appear again at the commandant’s office or inform the commandant’s office in an open letter: “On this date I left for the place of my service” (signature).
- “Whoever wants to be able to command must be able to obey!” - said Napoleon.
- Take care of your honor, the honor of the regiment and the army.
- Dress strictly in uniform and always clean.
- Be strict about your official duties.
- Conduct yourself simply, with dignity, without foppishness.
- Be self-possessed, correct and tactful always, with everyone and everywhere.
- Be polite and helpful, but not intrusive and flattering. Know how to leave on time so as not to be superfluous.
- It is necessary to remember the boundary where dignified politeness ends and where sycophancy begins.
- Make people talk less about themselves.
- Be observant and careful in your expressions.
- Don’t write rash letters and reports in the heat of the moment.
- Be less frank in general, you will regret it. Remember: “My tongue is my enemy!”
- Don’t play around - you won’t prove your daring, but you will compromise yourself. Forget the “good old days” and the expression “A bad officer who doesn’t drink,” and “such” an officer will not be kept in the regiment.
- Don’t rush to get on friendly terms with a person you haven’t gotten to know enough.
- Avoid “you”, which gives rise to familiarity in bad taste, an excuse to scold you on the grounds of friendship, interfere in your affairs, say vulgarity, rudeness, etc.
- Often the older one, having gotten tipsy, offers to get on a first-name basis with him. Nevertheless, the next day, be diplomatic: either speak to him on a “you” basis, or wait until he is the first to address you on a “you” basis. In a word, tact is a necessary condition in order not to get into an awkward position or get into trouble.
- Avoid stories and scandals. Do not act as an uninvited witness: by supporting one, you will make an enemy in the other - a double-edged sword. Neutrality is a means even for great powers to maintain good relations with everyone.
- A person who makes enemies, no matter how smart, kind, honest and truthful he is, dies almost inevitably, since our enemies in society are always active; friends are always passive: they only sympathize, regret, sigh, but do not fight for the dying, fearing for their own fate.
-- Avoid money accounts with friends. Money always spoils relationships.
- If you can, help your comrade financially, but avoid taking it personally, as it lowers your dignity.
- Don’t make debts: don’t dig holes for yourself. Live within your means. Drop false pride. It is immoral to incur debts without being able to pay them; otherwise, don’t get into someone else’s pocket...
- Don’t indulge at someone else’s expense, without having the means to repay in kind, if you don’t want your dignity and pride to suffer. Remember the French proverb: “It is better to drink bad wine from your own small glass than good wine from someone else’s large glass.”
- Live alone - it’s calmer. Living together with a friend eventually leads to squabbles, even to a breakup.
- Do not take personally offensive remarks, witticisms, ridicule said after you, which often happens on the streets and in public places. Be above it. Leave - you won't lose, but you'll get rid of the scandal.
- Think about every decisive step. It is impossible to correct a mistake, and it is difficult to make amends. “Measure seven times, cut once.”
- “Be more attentive before a quarrel than compliant after a quarrel.”
- At a critical moment, friends will not help: in military service they are powerless, bound by discipline and obedience to their superiors.
- If you can’t say anything good about someone, then refrain from saying anything bad, even if you know.
- Don’t neglect anyone’s advice - listen. The right to follow him or not will remain with you.
- Being able to take advantage of good advice from another is no less an art than giving good advice to yourself.
-- Avoid talking about military topics with anyone outside of duty, especially in wartime.
-- Be careful in choosing your acquaintances: be guided not only by their education, but also by their social position in society. "Tell me who you know and I'll tell you who you are."
- In front of orderlies (in general, with servants), refrain from talking about sensitive topics. This habit must be firmly ingrained in yourself and always remembered. Unfortunately, most people forget this. Meanwhile, the servants listen especially sensitively and look closely at the lives of their masters, take everything into account and often spread absurd gossip to the houses of their acquaintances (through the servants).
- A person using an orderly must monitor his health, behavior and must not allow him to be treated illegally; giving an orderly to serve another person is certainly prohibited.
- Responsibility for failure to comply with the orderly's uniform and behavior falls on the officer under whom the orderly works.
- Don’t use the services of someone else’s orderly without prior permission, don’t order anything - it’s not tactful.
- After graduating from college, continue studying. Knowledge of the art of war is your strength. In battles there is no time to learn, but you have to apply what you have learned. Don't lose sight of the fact that you need to know all types of weapons.
- In all cases of his life and service, the officer submits a written report: on arrival in the regiment, on departure on a business trip, leave and return from such, on taking up or surrendering a position, on illness and recovery, on collisions and incidents in the service or outside of it, about all sorts of petitions and so on.
- Reports are written laconically, to the point and without naming the boss.
- The signature of an officer, no matter what his rank, must always be legible and without any flourishes.
IV. OLD TRUTHS
- Firmness of will and fearlessness are two qualities necessary for a military man.
-- An officer needs to stand out for his moral qualities, on which the soldier’s personal behavior is based, because... associated with him is charm over the masses, which is so necessary for a leader.
- The strength of an officer does not lie in impulses, but in unshakable calm.
—Honor tempers courage and ennobles courage.
- Honor is the shrine of an officer.
- An officer must respect the human rights of his brother - the lower rank.
- A boss who does not spare the pride of his subordinates suppresses their noble desire to become famous and thereby weakens their moral strength.
- All age classes of the population pass through the ranks of the army, the influence of the officer corps extends to the entire people.
“Woe to the country if, upon leaving service, a soldier is disgusted by the ranks of the soldiers.”
“Don’t present as an irrefutable truth something you either don’t believe at all, or at least doubt.” To do so is a crime.
- It is necessary that not only the formal side of the service flourish, but also the moral one.
- Maintaining an army is expensive. But the cost of the army is an insurance premium paid by the state to ensure its independence.
- The army is an oak tree that protects Russia from storms.
V. RULES OF LIFE
- Don’t court the regimental ladies (in the vulgar sense). Don’t start romances in your regimental family, in which you have to serve for decades. Such novels always end tragically.
- Never express opinions about women. Remember: women have always been the cause of discord and the greatest misfortunes not only of individuals, but also of entire empires.
- Take care of the reputation of the woman who has trusted you, no matter who she is. A decent person in general, especially an officer, never talks about such things even in the intimate circle of his trusted and trusted friends - a woman is always most afraid of publicity.
- There are situations in life when you need to silence your heart and live with your mind.
- Be very careful in your intimate life - “your regiment is your supreme judge.”
- Any unseemly actions of an officer are discussed by the regimental court of honor.
- You shouldn’t talk about service and affairs in society.
- Keep an entrusted secret or a secret, even of a non-official nature. A secret that you tell to at least one person ceases to be a secret.
- Do not cross the line of conventions developed by the traditions of the regiment and life.
- Be guided in life by instinct, a sense of justice and a duty of decency.
- Know how to not only think and reason, but also be silent in time and hear everything.
- In military service, do not show pride in small things, otherwise you will always suffer because of it.
- Always be on guard and don’t let yourself go.
-- Although military personnel are allowed to engage in literary activities, they do not have the right to sign their articles indicating their rank and position (circus. Gl. Sht. 1908, 161).
-- Military personnel for printing are subject to liability not only in the general criminal procedure, but can also be brought to court in the society of officers, and those who are not subject to this court - to disciplinary liability, including until dismissal from service in a disciplinary manner.
-- To catch other people lying means harming yourself and them.
- Try to keep your words soft and your arguments firm in a dispute. Try not to annoy your opponent, but to convince him.
- It is not customary for officers to dance at public masquerades.
- When entering a public place, be careful; if the public is there without any outer clothing or caps, then you need to do the same.
- If you want to smoke, ask for permission, or better yet, wait until they offer it to you: either the mistress of the house, or the elder (depending on where and when).
- Everyone has their own shortcomings: no one can do without the help of others, and therefore you must understand each other and help each other with advice and mutual warnings.
- When speaking, avoid gesticulation and do not raise your voice.
- If you entered a society in whose midst there is a person with whom you are in a quarrel, then when greeting everyone, it is customary to shake hands with him, of course, if this cannot be avoided without drawing the attention of those present or the hosts. Giving a hand does not give rise to unnecessary conversations, and does not oblige you to anything.
- According to the Most Highly Expressed Will, it is necessary for an officer to be present to salute when meeting on the street chief officers of all branches of arms, regardless of the seniority of their rank and without waiting for a greeting from them first.
-- Chief officers are obliged to give the established honor to staff officers (lieutenant colonels, colonels) and generals. When entering them, if the officer was sitting, you must stand up and bow, and not stand up or continue to sit.
-- It is indecent to give and receive honors carelessly (also from lower ranks) with the left hand (except for the wounded) or with a cigarette in the mouth, nod your head, or keep your left hand in your pocket when giving honor. Walking arm in arm with a lady, an officer is not exempt from saluting according to the regulations.
- The cap must be worn according to the regulations, and the overcoat must always be buttoned with all the buttons.
- Needless to say, an officer must obey in public places all the rules that exist for the public.
- In general, the behavior of officers should pay attention to others with its correctness and consideration.
VI. ON SERVICE
- Don’t let mistakes and false tricks bother you. Nothing teaches you more than realizing your mistake. This is one of the main means of self-education. Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
- Spare the pride of the soldiers. Among ordinary people it is no less developed than among us and, due to their subordination, it is more sensitive.
- Soldiers are not silent sheep, but merciless judges who came from different parts of boundless Russia, taking back to the same place everything they experienced in the service: gratitude and embitterment; respect and contempt; love and hate. The silence of the soldiers is constrained by stern iron discipline, and does not stem from a lack of development. They know how to value justice and humanity.
- It is prohibited by law to beat a soldier.
- Adjutant General Dragomirov said: “Correct your stance without touching. When you correct with words, the soldier will correct himself, but if you paw with your hands, he will forget what the mistake was, because it did not reach his consciousness.”
“Even a horse loves to be told, but teaching a person like a dumb creature is not at all proper.”
- In class, be always cheerful, always even, calm, demanding and fair.
- You shouldn’t “flirt” with a soldier. You will undermine your authority.
-- Authority is acquired by knowledge of business and service.
- It is important that your subordinates respect you, not fear you. Where there is fear, there is no love, but there is hidden ill will or hatred.
- Be truthful always and especially with a soldier. Fulfill what you promise to him, otherwise you will teach him to lie.
- Truthfulness everywhere, and especially in education, is the main condition.
- Never touch a drunk person. If a soldier is drunk, personally never take repressive measures, so as not to be subjected to insult and protest, often unconscious. Order the drunken man to be taken by the same lower ranks as him (but not by the non-commissioned officer for the same reasons), and if they are not there, by the police. By this you save a drunken person from the crime of insulting an officer or non-commissioned officer.
- When arresting those who are drunk, it is forbidden to enter into any personal explanations with the troublemaker.
- In difficult moments, tone means a lot: for what to do is in the sense of an order, and how to do it is in the tone.
- There is nothing worse than indecision. A worse decision is better than hesitation or inaction. You can't get back a lost moment.
- Respect the laws and teach them to respect by your example.
- Do not object and do not enter into disputes regarding service with a senior in rank.
- Be careful with the money and government property entrusted to you. No matter how much you need money, never borrow it. Any shortcoming is a waste. The responsibility is great.
VII. IN CLASSES WITH SOLDIERS
- The dull monotony of training does not develop a soldier, but kills the spirit.
- When a soldier goes home, he carries with him the imprint of those commanders who lead him.
- An officer should know, first of all, with whom he is dealing. Representatives of all nationalities of Russia gather in the barracks or trenches. Their beliefs, outlook, character, moral contribution are different. Think about these first hours of soldier's service. Encourage this adult child. Say a few good and warm words to the recruit from the heart. Don't tell him anything about the service in the first days. Don't scare him. Do this wisely - and you have conquered him - he is yours.
- Woe to you if the new recruit is distrustful and sees in his boss a strict, formal serviceman who is only capable of punishing.
- An officer must achieve trust in different ways. One of them is literacy, the Russian alphabet.
- Diploma is strength, the most powerful means that will destroy any false political view with which a recruit may come to the barracks.
- Don’t forget the soldier’s kitchen, that is, “the path to his heart goes through a soldier’s stomach.”
- Do not resort to harmful sentimentalism.
- The soldier loves to be talked to.
- An officer is a soldier's older brother.
- Brother, but not familiar, otherwise discipline is in danger.
- By this you mean reasonable, strict, but humane command, devoid of arrogance and cruelty.
- The authority died - all the military educational works of the chief also died.
- For military educational work, one of the means is frequent communication with lower ranks, conversations.
- Arrange things in such a way that the hours of “literature” for the soldiers will be a pleasant and useful rest.
- If you go to literature, study a little at home, draw up a summary of the conversation and a plan on a piece of paper.
- Don't get carried away with lectures. Important condition: short reading time of 1/2-3/4 hours. Experience has shown that listening for a long time is difficult, people get tired and fall asleep.
- Reading should be interrupted: go on to a conversation, a joke - they are useful, when laughing, the brain rests and will be functional again.
- Tell me little by little: one or two thoughts.
- Use example and demonstration.
- A good example is always better than a rule.
VIII. ABOUT THE COURT OF HONOR
- Do not forget that in order to preserve the dignity of military service, officers who are found to have disapproved behavior or misconduct that is incompatible with the concepts of military honor and valor of the officer rank or that exposes the officer’s lack of rules of morality and nobility are subject to trial by the society of officers. This court is also given the right to sort out quarrels that occur between officers.
- The court of honor is conducted behind closed doors. The consideration of the case in the court of honor and the decision of the verdict takes no more than 24 hours. The verdict of the court of honor on the merits of the case does not rely on complaints. The court of honor is a regimental secret. The one who disclosed it is subject to a court of honor.
-- Among the actions examined in the regimental court of honor may be: a fight between officers, borrowing money from lower ranks, playing cards and billiards with lower ranks, bringing persons of questionable behavior to the officers' meeting, writing anonymous letters, dishonest play playing cards, refusal to pay a gambling debt, ambiguous courtship of a regiment comrade’s wife, appearing in a public place while drunk, etc.
- Duels are allowed only by order or with the permission of the regimental court of honor. Duels are prohibited in wartime.
IX. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHIEF
- The boss must develop and maintain in his subordinates the consciousness of the sanctity of the oath and the high importance of a warrior called to defend the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland from external and internal enemies, and be an example for them in the performance of duty and service.
- Be fair, even, persistent in your demands, setting an example of cheerfulness, impeccable behavior, exact fulfillment of all requirements of the law and orders of superiors.
— Unquestioning obedience to your superior is the soul of military service and the key to success in battle.
- Take care of maintaining the health of your subordinates, delve into their life and needs, be their adviser, leader and intercessor for them before the boss; take care of their welfare, be benevolent.
- A junior in rank does not make comments to anyone in the presence of a senior.
- It is prohibited by law to borrow money from lower ranks.
- If necessary, you should always contact your immediate superior. With the permission of this latter, you can contact the next boss in command.
- I am present at inspections and exercises; I should not be in an overcoat or cape if the senior comrade is without them.
-- Removing your headdress to greet people is prohibited.
- When giving an order, be guided by the following:
a) the order must be appropriate;
b) easily executable for the person receiving the order;
c) give the order firmly, clearly and definitely;
d) be sure to make him repeat the order you gave to make sure it is understandable. If the soldier cannot repeat it, then do not be angry, but calmly explain it to him again until he understands.
-- You should not enter the premises of another company (manege, stables) without the knowledge of the commander or officer of this unit; only the officer on duty for the unit is obliged to be everywhere, without reporting to anyone, during the day or night, being the responsible person for the well-being of the entire unit.
- Refrain from doing anything or even ordering directly to people other than those superiors to whom they are subordinate.
- In the ranks, do not rush to correct mistakes yourself and do not give commands other than those to whom they belong.
- In case of any kind of mistakes and shortcomings on the part of people, where there is no ill will, take on the detached and platoon leader first of all. The soldier knows his job - find out who did it; reward and punish first of all this latter, as responsible for it.
- Strictly observe the chain of command, which exists only to ensure order. Never skip its steps, no matter how modest they may be, because this will show the supposed uselessness of bosses as such.
- Everything that contributes to the development of camaraderie and the fusion of squads and platoons into one whole should be encouraged in every possible way; However, anything that prevents this must be carefully eliminated.
X. WHEN DEFENSE WITH WEAPONS IS ALLOWED
-- Defense is permitted by laws to protect:
a) life,
b) health,
c) freedom,
d) female honor and chastity,
e) home in the event of a violent invasion,
f) property (robbery) or when a criminal caught stealing or damaging property by force resists his arrest or the taking of the stolen property. Therefore, for example, killing a thief before he has offered any resistance or attack does not fit the concept of defense and is punishable as simple murder.
- Defense is allowed only in the event of an actual attack, expressed in some kind of threatening actions. The mere alleged or imaginary intention to carry out an attack, not expressed in any actions, cannot be considered a condition for necessary defense.
-- Defense is permitted to protect not only oneself, but also other persons in danger.
-- Defense is permitted in the event of an unlawful attack. Therefore, it is impossible to defend against persons who have committed, albeit violent, but legal actions, for example, from police officers or patrol officers who, on duty, detain persons causing disorder. This will no longer be defense, but resistance to authorities. In defense, “the use of force and any measures whatsoever” is allowed, therefore, if necessary, the use of weapons.
- Defense is allowed only to the extent really necessary to repel an attack. Therefore, any unnecessary harm caused to the attacker after the danger has already been averted is recognized as an abuse of defense and the perpetrator is subject to punishment.
- Defense against a superior is not allowed at all, except in the case where the actions of the superior threaten a subordinate with obvious danger, but even in this case it should be limited to defense to the extent necessary for personal self-preservation. Therefore, for example, beatings inflicted by a superior on a subordinate do not give the latter the right to defend himself unless they clearly threaten him with danger.
-- Subject to all the above conditions, the person defending himself from an attack is not liable for his actions, even if their consequence was to cause wounds, injury, or even death to the attacker.
- A fight cannot be subsumed under the concept of necessary defense. Using a weapon in a fight exposes the perpetrator to liability under the law.
XI. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING PEOPLE FOR MILITARY CASE
- Start classes without announcement - there will be more time for work and there will be no needless burden on the memory.
-- Do not give the name of an item without showing it.
-- Avoid training using the same program: this does not develop attention in the shooter.
- Don’t forget that the charter is for us, and not we for the charter. There is time - to do everything as it should be, but not - according to common sense.
- As in any business, so in the matter of teaching, think not about finding obstacles, but about the means of overcoming them.
- Always go to all classes with a full pack and a full pack, otherwise you won’t develop the skill to carry and fit equipment, and the weight you carry will always seem heavy.
-- Practice with commanders of all levels up to and including squad commander in issuing and transmitting orders, as well as in filling positions.
- End every study and lesson with a short lesson.
- The root of soldierly science is internal, and the most important thing is guard duty; then comes shooting, fencing, formation, gymnastics and literature, and the crown of all is tactical training.
TO SHOOTING
- It is mandatory for anyone who is entitled to a gun to start the day with a shotgun and sights.
- Never aim in vain - with a mandatory check of both placement and aiming.
-- Teach stocking and aiming in pairs, not in ranks; with this order no time is wasted; there is no tiring, tedious waiting in line, and people, mutually checking each other, will know the matter more firmly.
- Remember that the best rangefinder is an eye, and therefore use one in any case.
-- Shooting training must end with shooting at live or dead targets, checking the merits of each shot fired.
BUILD
- Don’t forget that the main condition for the success of any drill exercise is people’s attention, and therefore this should always be developed everywhere. Achieve attention by turning, using gun techniques according to numbers, freely separating people from the formation, and conditionally changing the meaning of commands and signals.
-- Do not straighten the risers with your hands: do it literally, starting with your legs, the correct position of which determines the correct position of your shoulders and the entire body.
- Never bother about alignment, but strive only for a free and even step, then alignment will come by itself.
- On the command “stop” - dead silence and immobility; without correction the error cannot be seen. With the amendment you can see a mile away.
-- Do not confuse direction with alignment; the ability to take a direction and maintain it is required from each individual.
- The closed unit should be led in such a way that people themselves strive to quickly restore order if it is disturbed in any way, subject to complete silence. Talking in formation is not only a bad habit, but also a sign of fussiness.
VERBAL ACTIVITIES
- Any practical training should be supplemented with verbal teaching about what people should know.
- No lessons are assigned and no drilling is allowed.
--Prayer, works, singing, music, games, reading and other useful entertainments should fill the remainder of free time. Do not forget, for the purpose of training walks to the position, to the artillerymen and other closest neighbors in order to get to know each other and get closer to each other.
- Everyone should know the prayer and commandments of the Lord, as well as the prayer for the Tsar, with sense and understanding.
- Explain to everyone that surrendering to the enemy is a shame and a crime. The family of those who surrender are not given rations; in captivity it will be very difficult for them, because the Germans treat the prisoners harshly, give them little to eat, force them to do hard work, and subject them to corporal punishment. Surrendered means he did not resist, and therefore did not harm the enemy. Consequently, surrender prolongs the war.
- Explain that escapes and evasions from service are shameful and useless, measures have been taken against this, and anyone who escapes will be caught. The punishment for this is very severe.
— Instill in the lower ranks that they must treat the population’s own property with care, remembering that we are fighting the Germans, not civilians. After all, they are already ruined by the enemy. The robber will face a heavy punishment.
TACTICAL TRAINING
- Don’t take on difficult tasks. Solve, without further ado, simply the tasks of defending and attacking a height, a ravine, a forest, a separate building, a village, a trench, a fortification and a gorge, without forgetting reconnaissance, rest and its protection.
- Whoever wants to know tactics must decompose it into a series of practical techniques, shown in a field with divisions, as statutory departments are shown - without demonstration there is no knowledge.
-- When teaching people, do not forget their upbringing, for which:
a) creating surprises at every step, teach them not to get lost;
b) set, if possible, goals the achievement of which would require perseverance;
c) to achieve courage and loyalty where, apparently, there is no place for them;
d) encourage every striving forward (always support, at the same time teaching you to count on yourself).
- Tasks for classes are set on both sides so that the method of action is not predetermined by the task. Let everyone choose defense or attack as desired to achieve their goal.
-- Achieve constant, uninterrupted communication both at the front and in depth.
- Secret words must be strictly observed.
-- Always think about saving and feeding ammo.
- Observation of the flanks is a necessary part of any battle formation; Here you only need eyes, not combat strength.
- When guarding, try to see everything, being invisible yourself, and for stability, dig in where necessary.
- The main task of protective measures is not to catch single people, but to protect troops from an unexpected enemy.
- Marching movements and reconnaissance require constant practice, and therefore every day, wherever they go, wherever they return from, they walk with security and reconnaissance measures.
- In the dark, walk without firing at close intervals and distances with intermediate chains, covered by a thick patrol chain, walk as the blind walk: you need almost contact.
XI. REMEMBER APHORISMS
“The one who fears nothing is more powerful than the one whom everyone fears.”
- To become funny means to lose your business.
- When two people quarrel, both are always to blame.
- Pull, but don't tear.
- Example is the most eloquent of sermons.
- Backbiting harms three people at once: the one about whom they speak badly; to someone who is spoken ill; and most of all to those who slander.
-- A wound caused by a gun can be healed, but a wound caused by the tongue will never heal.
- The strongest delusions are those that have no doubt.
- Courage gives an officer success, and success gives courage.
- It’s smart, by the way, to remain silent.
- The way to get bored is to say everything you know.
“The humble one is not the one who is indifferent to praise, but the one who is attentive to blame.”
- The last resort should always be the last resort.
- Everyone looks, but not everyone sees.
- Laws should be followed, not reinterpreted.
- Vanity is a sign of consciousness of one’s insignificance.
- Thinking correctly is more valuable than knowing a lot.
- For taste - to the young, for advice - to the old.
- If you say it, you won’t turn it back, if you write it, you won’t erase it, if you chop it off, you won’t put it back.
- A clear conscience is the cleanest pillow.
- The beauty of the mind evokes surprise, the beauty of the soul evokes respect.
“We must conquer with our minds what cannot be overcome by force.”
- Don’t be intrusive, so that they don’t push you away, and don’t move too far away, so that they don’t forget about you.
At first I wrote a lot, a lot of text, then crossed it all out. I decided that everyone just needs to read this and learn something useful for themselves. I personally do not agree with certain theses, but they can easily be adapted to modern life.
BASIS AND ESSENCE OF MILITARY SERVICE
1. Believe in God, be devoted to the Sovereign Emperor, his family and love your Motherland.
The first and main commandment and duty of a soldier is loyalty to the Sovereign Emperor and the Fatherland. Without this quality he is not fit for military service.
The integrity of the Empire and the maintenance of its prestige are based on the strength of the army and navy; their quality and shortcomings resonate throughout the country, so it’s not your place to get involved in social issues and political speculation; your job is to unswervingly fulfill your duties.
2.Put the glory of the Russian army above all else.
3.Be brave. But courage can be true and feigned. The arrogance characteristic of youth is not courage. A military man must always be prudent and consider his actions calmly and carefully. If you are harsh and arrogant, everyone will hate you.
4.Obey discipline.
5. Respect and trust your superiors.
6. Be afraid of breaking your duty - this will forever lose your good name.
7.An officer must be loyal and truthful. Without these qualities, it is almost impossible for a military man to remain in the army. Faithful is a person who fulfills his duty; truthful - if he does not change his word. Therefore, never promise if you are not sure that you will fulfill your promise.
8.Be polite and modest in your dealings with all people.
9.The best part of courage is caution.
II. ARRIVAL TO THE REGIMENT
Having arrived at the regiment, the officer acts in accordance with Art. Garrison Service Charter 400 and 401, that is, he is the regiment commander. In practice, they do this: arriving at the office at about 11 o’clock, the officer introduces himself and gets acquainted, first of all, with the regimental adjutant, who gives all the necessary instructions, since each regiment has its own customs/traditions. If an officer appears to the regiment commander at his apartment, then, if he does not find him at home, he should appear a second time, trying to catch him; It is not recommended to sign and leave a service ticket for the first time.
Report for duty to the commander of the company (hundred, squadron) of the battery to which the appointment took place. Taking a list with the addresses of the city from the senior clerk in the office. officers and noting the married ones, make visits to everyone without delaying them. (In wartime, visits are not made. The time to introduce yourself to your superiors is uncertain and the dress code is casual). It is recommended to have time to do them all at once, in one day. The dress code is formal. The rest of the time: on all official occasions, visits, congratulations - ordinary, unless it is given in the order for the regiment to be in it. If you don't find your elder at home, leave your service ID (not a business card). For married people - an official ID and a business card.
Before being presented to the regiment commander and without having yet reported to the regiment, one should not appear in public places (theaters, gardens, concerts, evenings), as it is considered tactless. Upon arrival at the regiment, the first impression is of serious importance.
Having not yet arrived at the regiment, and while on vacation, having met officers of your regiment (in the same city), you should definitely approach him and introduce yourself first.
III. ATTITUDE TO YOUR BOSS AND YOURSELF
1. Always remember that you are an officer.
2. Be formal with your superiors.
3. Remember that the boss is always and everywhere the boss.
4. Never criticize the actions and actions of your superiors in general; at any level - especially and, God forbid, at the lower ranks.
5. Every order of a superior, no matter in what form it is expressed (suggestion, request, advice), is an order.
6. If you are senior in rank, and according to the distribution of positions you will be subordinate to a junior, you are obliged to carry out all the orders of the person placed above you, without any argument.
7. If you come on vacation for three days or less, then, when you appear in person, you must certainly send your vacation ticket to the commandant’s office. If you arrive for more than three days, you must appear in person to the commandant.
8. At the end of the vacation period, he must appear again at the commandant’s office or inform the commandant’s office in an open letter: “On this date I left for the place of my service” (signature).
9. “Whoever wants to be able to command must be able to obey!” - said Napoleon.
10. Take care of your honor, the honor of the regiment and the army.
11. Dress strictly in uniform and always clean.

14. Be self-possessed, correct and tactful always, with everyone and everywhere.
15.Be polite and helpful, but not intrusive or flattering. Know how to leave on time so as not to be superfluous.
16. It is necessary to remember the boundary where dignified politeness ends and where sycophancy begins.
17. Make people talk less about themselves.

19. Do not write rash letters and reports in the heat of the moment.
20. Be less frank in general, you will regret it. Remember: “My tongue is my enemy!”
21. Don’t play around - you won’t prove your daring, but you will compromise yourself. Forget the “good old days” and the expression “A bad officer who doesn’t drink,” and “such” an officer will not be kept in the regiment.
22. Don’t rush to get on friendly terms with a person you haven’t gotten to know enough.
23. Avoid “you”, which gives grounds for familiarity in bad taste, an excuse to scold you on the grounds of friendship, interfere in your affairs, say vulgarity, rudeness, etc.
24.Often the elder, having become tipsy, offers to get on a first-name basis with him. Nevertheless, the next day, be diplomatic: either speak to him on a “you” basis, or wait until he is the first to address you on a “you” basis. In a word, tact is a necessary condition in order not to get into an awkward position or get into trouble.
25. Avoid stories and scandals. Do not act as an uninvited witness: by supporting one, you will make an enemy in the other - a double-edged sword. Neutrality is a means even for great powers to maintain good relations with everyone.
26. A person who has made enemies, no matter how smart, kind, honest and truthful he is, dies almost inevitably, since our enemies in society are always active; friends are always passive: they only sympathize, regret, sigh, but do not fight for the dying, fearing for their own fate.
27. Avoid money accounts with friends. Money always spoils relationships.
28. If you can, help your friend financially, but avoid taking it personally, as it lowers your dignity.
29. Don’t make debts: don’t dig holes for yourself. Live within your means. Drop false pride. It is immoral to incur debts without being able to pay them; otherwise, don’t get into someone else’s pocket...
30. Don’t indulge at someone else’s expense without having the means to repay in kind, if you don’t want your dignity and self-esteem to suffer. Remember the French proverb: “It is better to drink bad wine from your own small glass than good wine from someone else’s large glass.”
31. Live alone - it’s calmer. Living together with a friend eventually leads to squabbles, even to a breakup.
32. Do not take personally offensive remarks, witticisms, or ridicule said after you, which often happens on the streets and in public places. Be above it. Leave - you won't lose, but you'll get rid of the scandal.
33. Think about every decisive step. It is impossible to correct a mistake, and it is difficult to make amends. “Measure seven times, cut once.”
34. “Be more considerate before a quarrel than compliant after a quarrel.”
35. At a critical moment, friends will not help: in military service they are powerless, bound by discipline and obedience to superiors.
36.If you can’t say anything good about someone, then refrain from saying anything bad, even if you know.
37. Don’t neglect anyone’s advice - listen. The right to follow him or not will remain with you.
38. Being able to take good advice from another is no less an art than giving good advice to yourself.
39. Avoid talking about military topics with anyone outside of duty, especially in wartime.
40. Be careful in choosing your acquaintances: be guided not only by their education, but also by their social position in society. "Tell me who you know and I'll tell you who you are."
41. In front of orderlies (in general, in front of servants), refrain from talking about sensitive topics. This habit must be firmly ingrained in yourself and always remembered. Unfortunately, most people forget this. Meanwhile, the servants listen especially sensitively and look closely at the lives of their masters, take everything into account and often spread absurd gossip to the houses of their acquaintances (through the servants).
42. A person using an orderly must monitor his health, behavior and must not allow him to be treated illegally; giving an orderly to serve another person is certainly prohibited.
43. Responsibility for non-compliance with the orderly's uniform and behavior falls on the officer under whom the orderly works.
44. Do not use the services of someone else’s orderly without prior permission, do not order anything - it is not tactful.
45.After graduating from college, continue studying. Knowledge of the art of war is your strength. In battles there is no time to learn, but you have to apply what you have learned. Don't lose sight of the fact that you need to know all types of weapons.
46. An officer in all cases of his life and service submits a written report: on arrival in the regiment, on departure on a business trip, leave and return from such, on taking up or surrendering a position, on illness and recovery, on collisions and incidents in the service or outside of it, about all sorts of petitions and so on.
47.Reports are written concisely, to the point and without naming the boss.
48.The signature of an officer, no matter what his rank, must always be legible and without any flourishes.

Conclusion
This textbook was prepared on the basis of the work of the captain of the tsarist army V. M. Kulchinsky “Advice to a young officer.” It reveals the basic norms and rules of behavior, moral values of the Russian officers.
The manual can be used by command and teaching staff during the training and education of cadets, as well as by cadets in preparation for seminars and in military scientific work.
The manual was developed by Lieutenant Colonel P. N. Kharlamov, edited by Candidate of Military Sciences, Associate Professor, Colonel A. G. Glukhoverov.
“Believe, Russian officers, in your great calling. Do not doubt its magnitude, because every doubt is the beginning of destruction. You are called to serve the good of Russia through the army, and through serving and educating it, for the good of the whole world, if you love your country and believe in it and yourself.”
L. N. TOLSTOY
Introduction
Over the entire period of historical development, society has tried to give the best to the army, since in our understanding there is still the opinion that it is the army that is the expression of strength, greatness, sublimity, the essence of the Fatherland. Until recently, the sympathies of many people belonged to the army and its glorious officer sons. And it didn't need motivation. The army is an institution of society. Her roads are often covered with victims, she always paid with her best sons, and never stained herself with arrogance, cowardice, or cowardice. She has always been, is and will be a guarantor of peace for the Russian people.
The work of Captain V. M. Kulchinsky “Advice to a Young Officer” will introduce you to what constituted the cultural and spiritual value of the old Russian army.
“...There is no honorable duty -
In difficult times, stand up for the country.
You don't become an officer for glory,
Not for small and idle pleasures -
For the sake of the highest happiness of the State
For the sake of everyone’s sunny joy.”

2. Never express opinions about women. Remember, women have always been the cause of discord and the greatest misfortunes not only of individuals, but also of entire empires.
3. Take care of the reputation of the woman who has trusted you, no matter who she is. A decent person in general, especially an officer, never talks about such things even in the intimate circle of his trusted and trusted friends - a woman is always most afraid of publicity.

15. Military personnel for printing are subject not only to the general criminal procedure, but can also be brought to court in the society of officers, and those who are not subject to this court are subject to disciplinary liability, including up to and including disciplinary dismissal from service (Adjudication on Military Vedas. 1908. No. 310).
16. To catch other people lying means harming yourself and them.
17. Try to keep your words soft and your arguments firm in a dispute. Try not to annoy your opponent, but to convince him.

22. When talking, avoid gesticulations and do not raise your voice.
23. If you enter a society in whose midst there is a person with whom you are in a quarrel, then, when greeting everyone, it is customary to shake hands with him, of course, if this cannot be avoided without drawing the attention of those present or the hosts.

VI. On duty
1. Don't let mistakes and false techniques bother you. Nothing teaches you more than realizing your mistake. This one of the main means of self-education. Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
2. Spare the pride of the soldiers. Among ordinary people it is no less developed than among us and, due to their subordination, it is more sensitive.
3. The soldiers are not silent sheep, but merciless judges who came from different parts of boundless Russia, taking back everything they experienced in the service: gratitude and embitterment; respect and contempt; love and hate. The silence of the soldiers is constrained by stern and iron discipline, and does not stem from a lack of development. They know how to value justice and humanity.
4. Beating a soldier is prohibited by law.
5. Adjutant General Dragomirov said: “Adjust your stance without touching. When corrected with words, the soldier will correct himself, but if he sculpts with his hands, he will forget what the mistake was, because it did not reach his consciousness.”

12. Truthfulness everywhere, and especially in education, is the main condition.
13. Never touch a drunk person. If a soldier is drunk, personally never take repressive measures, so as not to be subjected to insult and protest, often unconscious.

14. When arresting those who are intoxicated, it is prohibited to enter into any personal explanations with the troublemaker.
15. In difficult moments, tone means a lot: for what to do is in the sense of an order, and how to do it is in the tone.

17. Respect the laws and teach them to respect by your example.
18. Do not object and do not enter into disputes regarding service with someone senior in rank.
19. Be careful with government property and money entrusted to you in your service. No matter how much you need money... never borrow from them. Any shortcoming is a waste. The responsibility is great.

1. The dull monotony of training does not develop a soldier, but kills the spirit.
2. When a soldier goes home, he carries with him the imprint of those commanders who led him.
3. The officer should know, first of all, with whom he is dealing. Representatives of all nationalities of Russia gather in the barracks or trenches. Their beliefs, views, character, moral character are different. Think about these first hours of soldier's service. Encourage this adult child.
Say a few good, warm words from your heart to the recruit. Don't tell him anything about the service in the first days. Don't scare him. Do this wisely - and you have conquered him: he is yours.
4. Woe to you if the recruit is distrustful and sees in his boss only a strict, formal service officer capable of only punishing.
5. An officer must gain trust in various ways. One of them is literacy, the Russian alphabet.
6. Literacy is strength, the most powerful means, which will destroy any false political view with which a recruit comes to the barracks.
7. Don’t forget the soldier’s kitchen, because “through a soldier’s stomach is the way to his heart.”
8. Do not resort to harmful sentimentalism.
9. The soldier loves to be talked to.
10. An officer is a soldier’s older brother.
11. Brother, but not familiar, otherwise discipline is in danger.

14. For military educational work, one of the means is frequent communication with lower ranks, conversations.
15. Arrange things so that the hours of “literature” for the soldiers are a pleasant and useful rest.
16. If you go to a literature class, study A little At home, make a note of the conversation and a plan on a piece of paper.
17. Don't get carried away with lectures. Important condition: short-term reading ½-3/4 hours. Experience has shown that listening for a long time is difficult, people get tired and fall asleep.
18. Reading should be interrupted; move on to conversations To jokes - they are useful; when laughing, the brain rests and will be functional again.

20. Use example and demonstration.
21. A good example is always better than a rule.

In case of damage to property, the criminal forcibly resists his arrest or the taking away of the stolen property. Therefore, for example, killing a thief before he has offered any resistance or attack does not fit the concept of defense and is punishable as simple murder.
2. Defense is allowed only in the event of an actual attack, expressed in any threatening actions. The mere alleged or imaginary intention to carry out an attack, not expressed in any actions, cannot be considered a condition for necessary defense.
3. Defense is permitted to protect not only oneself, but also other persons in danger.
4. Defense is permitted only in the event of an unlawful attack. Therefore, it is impossible to defend against persons who have committed, although violent, but legal actions, for example, from police officers or patrol officers who, on duty, detain persons causing disorder. This will no longer be defense, but resistance to authorities.
In defense, “the use of force and any measures whatsoever” is allowed, therefore, if necessary, weapons.
5. Defense is allowed only to the extent really necessary to repel an attack. Therefore, any unnecessary harm caused to the attacker after the danger has already been averted is recognized as an abuse of defense and subjects the perpetrator to punishment.
6. Defense against a superior is not allowed at all, except in the case where the actions of the superior threaten the subordinate with obvious danger, but even in this case it must be limited to defense to the extent necessary for personal self-preservation. Therefore, for example, beatings inflicted by a boss on a subordinate do not harm the latter. rights to defense, unless they threaten him with obvious danger.
7. Subject to all the above conditions, the person defending against an attack is not subject to liability for his actions, even if their consequence was to cause wounds, injury or even death to the attacker.
8. The concept of necessary defense cannot include a fight. The use of a weapon in a fight exposes the perpetrator to liability under the law.

V. KOVAL
1. Believe in God, be devoted to the Sovereign Emperor, His family and love your Motherland.
The first and main duty of a soldier is loyalty to the Sovereign Emperor and the Fatherland. Without this quality he is not fit for military service. The integrity of the empire and the maintenance of its prestige are based on the strength of the army and navy; their qualities and shortcomings resonate throughout the country; therefore, it is not your business to get involved in social issues and political speculations; your job is to steadily fulfill yours. responsibilities.
2. Put above all else the glory of the Russian Army.

5. Respect and trust your superiors.
6. Be afraid of breaking your duty - this will forever cause you to lose your good name.

8. Be polite and modest in your dealings with all people.
9. The best part of courage is caution.
II. Arrival at the regiment
Arriving at the regiment, the officer acts in accordance with the Constitution. garn. cl. 400 and 401, that is, it appears to the regiment commander. In practice, they do this: arriving at the office at about 11 o’clock, the officer introduces himself and gets acquainted first of all with the regimental adjutant, who gives all the necessary advice and instructions, since each regiment has its own customs (traditions). If an officer appears at the apartment of the regiment commander, then, if you do not find him at home, you should appear a second time, trying to catch him: it is not recommended to sign or leave a service card for the first time.
Report for duty to the commander of the company (hundred, squadron, battery) to which the appointment took place. Having taken a list with the addresses of Messrs. from the senior clerk in the office. officers and, noting the married ones, make visits to everyone without delaying them. It is recommended to have time to do them all in one day. Dress uniform is ceremonial. The rest of the time: on all official occasions, visits, congratulations - ordinary, unless given in the order for the regiment to be in a different position. If you don’t find your elder at home, leave a service ID (not a business card). For married people - an official ID and a business card. Before being presented to the regiment commander and not yet reporting to the regiment, you should not appear in public places (theaters, gardens, concerts, evenings); considered tactless. Upon arrival at the regiment, the first impression is of serious importance.
Having not yet arrived at the regiment and being on leave, you will meet an officer of your regiment (in the same city), you should definitely go to him and introduce yourself first, and report to the regiment commander.
III. Attitude towards superiors and yourself
1. Always remember that you are an officer.
2. Be formal with your superiors,
3. Remember that the boss is always and everywhere the boss.
4. Never criticize the actions and actions of your boss in general; with anyone - especially, and God forbid with the lower ranks.
5. Every order of a superior, no matter in what form it is expressed (suggestion, request, advice) is an order.
6. If you are senior in rank, and according to the distribution of positions you will be subordinate to a junior, you are obliged to carry out everything the orders of the person placed over you, without any argument.
7. If you come on vacation for three days or less, then, without appearing in person, you must certainly send your vacation ticket to the commandant’s office. Having arrived for more than three days, you must appear in person to the commandant.
8. At the end of the vacation period, he is obliged to appear again at the Commandant’s Department or inform the Commandant’s Department in an open letter: “On this date I left for the place of my service” (Signature).
9. “Whoever wants to be able to command must be able to obey!” - said Napoleon.
10. Take care of your honor, the honor of the regiment and the army.
11. Dress strictly in uniform and always clean.
12. Be strict about your official duties.. (Disc. Ordinance § 1).
13. Conduct yourself simply, with dignity, without foppishness.
14. Be self-possessed (correct) and tactful always, with everyone and everywhere.
15. Be polite and helpful, but not intrusive and flattering. Know how to leave on time so as not to be superfluous..
16. It is necessary to remember the boundary where dignified politeness ends and where sycophancy begins.”
17. Make people talk less about themselves.
18. Be observant and careful in your expressions.
19. Do not write rash letters and reports in the heat of the moment.
20. Be less frank in general, you will regret it. Remember: “My tongue is my enemy.”
21. Don’t play around - you won’t prove your daring, but you will compromise yourself. Forget the “good old days” and the expression “A bad officer who doesn’t drink.” Now it’s different: “A bad officer who drinks,” and “Such an officer cannot be kept in the regiment.”
22. Don’t rush to get on friendly terms with a person you haven’t gotten to know enough.
23. Avoid “you”, which gives reason and the right to familiarity in bad taste, an excuse to scold you on the grounds of friendship, interfere in your affairs, say vulgarity, rudeness, etc.
24. Often the elder, having gotten tipsy, offers to “go on a first-name basis with him.” However, the next day, be diplomatic:
either speak to him on “you”, or wait until he is the first to address you on “you”. In short, tact is a necessary condition to avoid getting into an awkward position or getting into trouble.
25. Avoid stories and scandals. Do not act as an uninvited witness: by supporting one, you will make an enemy in the other - a double-edged sword. Neutrality is a remedy even for great powers; a means to maintain good relations with everyone,
26. A person who makes enemies, no matter how smart, kind, honest and truthful he is, dies almost inevitably, since enemies in society are always active, while friends are passive; they only sympathize, regret, sigh, but do not fight for the dying, fearing for their own fate,
27. Avoid money accounts with friends. Money always spoils relationships.
28. Do not make debts: do not dig holes for yourself. Live within your means. Drop false pride. It is immoral to incur debts without being able to pay them; otherwise, don’t get into someone else’s pocket...
29. If you can, help your friend financially, but avoid taking it personally, as it lowers your dignity.
30. Don’t indulge at someone else’s expense without having the means to repay in kind, if you don’t want your dignity and self-esteem to suffer. Remember the French proverb: “It is better to drink bad wine from your own small glass than good wine from someone else’s large glass.”
31. Live alone - it’s calmer. Living together with a friend ultimately leads to squabbles, even breakup.
32. Do not take personally offensive remarks or witty ridicule said after you, which often happens on the streets and in public places. Be above it. Leave - you won’t lose, but you’ll get rid of the scandal.
33. Think about every decisive step. It is impossible to correct a mistake, and it is difficult to make amends. “Measure seven times, cut once.”
34. Be more considerate before a quarrel than compliant after a quarrel.
35. At a critical moment, friends will not help: in military service they are powerless, bound by discipline and obedience to their superiors.
36. If you can’t say anything good about someone, then refrain from saying anything bad, even if you know.
37. Don’t neglect anyone’s advice – listen. The right to follow it or not will remain with you.
38. Be able to take advantage of good advice from another -. there is no less art than giving good advice to yourself.
