Physical and mental health of military personnel as a social value

Abstract

We consider the problems of formation of the main vital aspects of military personnel, such as physical and psychological health, endurance, the ability to maintain high combat readiness in extreme conditions and in the presence of danger associated with a threat to life and health. The emergence of the army is a natural phenomenon, caused by the need to protect the society from both external encroachments on the sovereignty of the state, and on the internal balance in society. To maintain a high level of combat readiness in the army, a physically prepared and spiritually healthy serviceman is needed, capable of performing the tasks assigned to him in conditions that involve a risk to his life. The subject of the study is the physical and mental health of servicemen as a social and legal value. As a research methodology, systemic and subject-activity approaches to the analysis of social and legal phenomena creatively interpreted by the authors are used. We prove that the content of the vital values of servicemen is born in their interaction with the values of the psychological and spiritual level required in professional military activity. We raise the issue of developing a methodology for educating the skills of professional military activities that ensure the preservation of the life of society, as well as the necessary norms of law and order that ensure it. We note that in accordance with the tasks facing the society and the army to ensure the activities of the society and its citizens, it is necessary to develop a legal framework that allows us to successfully solve the tasks facing the state in medical support for the army.
