body), which includes preparation for conducting military operations, direct military
operations in a special (military) period and actions aimed at the elimination of illegal
armed formations during the peaceful period, as well as other actions that are in
accordance with the tasks defined by the regulatory legal acts [2, p. 22, 23].
According to the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service",
military service is a government service of a special nature, consisting of the
professional activities of the appropriate by age and state of health citizens of Ukraine
and foreigners, and persons without citizenship, which are suitable for it in terms of
health and age, associated with defense of Ukraine, its independence and territorial
integrity. An officer – is a member of command and chief staff in military formations
and law enforcement agencies. The word officer (from Latin - officiarius, from the
German offizier) is translated as an official.
The education of the reserve officers training program is a variety of professional
training of citizens for service-combat activities. Let`s describe the concept of the term
"training". Professional training is a system of training that provides the formation of
the necessary competencies required for a particular activity in order to obtain a certain
qualification in a specific professional specialization.
What is readiness? In general, the notion of "readiness" is a state of the finished,
and "ready" according to the reference literature - is the one who has made the
necessary preparation for something; and is in a state close to something; preme-
ditated, prepared beforehand, drawn up in advance; already formed, gained experience,
achieved high skill [5, p. 257]. Different approaches to the analysis of the nature of
readiness predetermine the diversity of its definitions. Analyzing scientific works, we
can see a number of interpretations of the concept of "readiness of the individual for
professional activity".
Service-combat activity in comparison with other types of activities has
peculiarities. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use the concept of "readiness of the
future officer of the reserve for military service", its interpretation are reflected in Table
1.
At the same time, the concept of "readiness of the future officer of the reserve for
military service" can be considered as derived from the concept of "readiness of the
individual for professional activity".
Analyzing the proposed definitions it is necessary to agree with such scientists as
A.V. Balendr [9, p. 14], I.V. Platonov [6, p. 12], V.L. Ulich [8, p. 14, 15], O. O.
Starchuk [10, p. 14] that the readiness is personal formation. However, it is not stable
as claimed by V. L. Ulich [8, p. 14, 15], because it depends on the needs and capabilities
of the person who can change. In fact, the state of readiness depends on the formed
competencies of the individual, necessary for successful activity (S.O. Kubitskyi [7,
pp. 14]).
