The procedure for conscripting citizens for military service in Russian Federation is regulated by a special regulatory legal act - Federal Law No. 53-FZ of March 28, 1998 “On Military Duty and Military Service”. Thus, 5.1 of this law, which determines the procedure for undergoing a medical examination during the process of being assigned to military service, establishes that the result of passing this procedure should be the assignment of a certain category of fitness to a citizen.

The fitness category is a parameter that determines whether a particular citizen has certain restrictions during military service. In total, the law identifies five main categories of fitness, which are designated by the first five letters of the Russian alphabet - A, B, C, D and D. Moreover, categories B, D and D represent situations where a young person, for health reasons, is constantly or temporarily cannot be called up for military service in Peaceful time. Thus, only holders of categories A and B are subject to conscription.

Category B3

Categories A and B, subject to conscription for military service, in turn, are divided into several subcategories, each of which more accurately reflects the state of health of the young man and the degree of his fitness to participate in army service. Thus, the most “universal” is category A, including its subcategories A1 and A2, representatives of which can participate in all military events with virtually no restrictions.

The official formulation of health status corresponding to category B, which is contained in the law, states that a young person belonging to this category is “fit for military service with minor restrictions.” At the same time, within category B there are four subcategories, each of which determines the list of types of troops to which a conscript can be sent.

Thus, category B3 implies that such a conscript can be sent to serve in guard units, anti-aircraft missile units or other units internal troops Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In addition, a young man may be sent to serve in rocket troops, however, there are certain restrictions on the functions it can perform: it can serve there as a driver or crew member of an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), launcher or armored personnel carrier. Finally, another option for such a conscript to serve is chemical units, where he can serve as a specialist. responsible for refueling and storing fuel.

Young men and their parents are very interested in the results of passing a medical commission when registering when a young person reaches 17 years of age.

An interesting fact is that if a young man is fit, he is prescribed military service in certain units Russian army. So with what category are they recruited into which troops?

Restrictions

You still have to serve

White ticket

But those who are listed under the letter D. can say goodbye to service forever. He is released from military duty. But, unfortunately, this means that he has a serious illness, and also that in civilian life it will be difficult for him to get a license, a weapons permit, or get some types of work that require a person to serve in the army.

List of diseases

If a conscript is sure that he will be declared unfit for military service absolutely or with restrictions, he can take to the medical commission documents indicating that he has any disease. It is possible that doctors who are well aware of the eligibility categories and the schedule of illnesses will spare the young man from additional examination. But in some cases, if the documents are not enough, it may be needed. To find out in advance what category of fitness a young man may be classified into, or whether he will be exempt from military service, he can independently study the schedule of illnesses. This is a document in which all diseases are listed by article. It is very detailed and has comments. This is what doctors from the admissions committee are guided by. It also indicates the body mass indexes with which military service is called up or denied. It is also necessary to independently study the schedule so that the conscript’s rights are not violated at the military registration and enlistment office, and he can defend his point of view, relying on the document.

The category that was assigned after the initial military registration can be changed after a medical examination at the age of 18, so the question of which category is accepted into which troops will remain relevant. The situation in our country is such that young people prefer to avoid the army. Therefore, some of them even rejoice at the diseases found in them. But we must remember that you will not have to serve for long, and the disease worsens the quality of life for years or even forever. Here everyone can decide for themselves what they like best.
