Influence of the author's program on the formation and improvement of psychological preparation of military servicemen for military-professional activities

Abstract. The systematic involvement of military personnel in the implementation of combat training activities, participation in tactical and command and staff exercises is characterized by a high variety of actions and constant performance of tasks in extreme conditions. As is known, modern military operations carry danger and a threat to the life of every soldier, and the psycho-emotional load reaches its peak, which in turn predicts an increase in mental load in the conditions of modern military operations, which are conducted on the territory of our state against the aggressor of the Russian Federation. Taking into account the specifics of each combat situation and the specifics of each soldier's tasks, mental stress ranges from mild excitement to paralyzing fear. Analyzing today's conditions, the actions caused by the invasion of the aggressor and the involvement of personnel to repel armed aggression, the condition experienced by each serviceman during hostilities, the use of weapons and equipment, we can state that modern combat does not exclude the occurrence of close combat between servicemen with the enemy, who can go into hand-to-hand combat, which is a weapon that cannot be seen, but which is always available with the soldier. Taking into account the above, there is a need to improve the psychological readiness of servicemen for military- professional activities using means of hand-to-hand combat.
