print version

Almost every person liable for military service is concerned about the age limit for military service. The thing is that even after serving in the army, a person remains liable for military service. In peacetime, it is enough for him to sometimes come to military training, and in time of war he will have to defend his homeland. That is why people are interested in when they can be deregistered at the military registration and enlistment office. There are different scenarios for the development of events.

Age types

It's hard to believe, but being in the military service directly depends on the position of the military. In addition, this period can be divided into several components.

Namely:

registration in the military registration and enlistment office;
military age;
age in the reserve.

We are mostly interested in the last point, but more on that later. First, it is worth finding out when, in general, a citizen registers with the military registration and enlistment office and is drafted into the army.

First meeting

For the first time, a visit to the commissariat by a person liable for military service (all young men of the Russian Federation are recognized as such) is planned at school. He is in grades 10-11, which is about 16-18 years old.

During military training, the boys go through a commission and get registered at the military registration and enlistment office. This is where all actions end. A person is already considered liable for military service, he is listed in the commissariat as a future conscript.

Conscription age

In Russia, the age limit for military service has recently been increased for certain categories of those liable for military service. However, such cases are rare.

The draft age in the Russian Federation lasts from 18 to 27 years inclusive. During this period, all persons liable for military service undergo a commission of the established form, receive a category of fitness for service, and are also called up to perform their duties in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Life time

How many under the law today serve on an emergency call? If we are talking about a contract basis, then the citizen will have to focus on the time specified in the contract.

Otherwise, military service lasts 12 months and no more. Used to last longer. After the expiration of this period, the person liable for military service is transferred to the reserve. And in peacetime, almost nothing connects a person with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. But the age limit for military service is still of interest to the population.

Ranks and ranks

It is impossible to give a definitive answer to this topic. As we have already said, in the reserve it depends on the rank and rank of the person liable for military service. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to many features of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

In total, there are 3 categories of the military. The higher it is, the longer you have to serve. This is quite normal.

In addition, there are 5 types of titles. They will be discussed later. One has only to remember that the higher the rank, the longer the person is listed in the military registration and enlistment office as a "reserve".

Junior

So far, the next extension of the age limit for military service in Russia is not planned. You can consider in more detail the ranks and the moment of deregistration in the commissariat.

Let's start with the junior ranks. First come midshipmen, sailors, soldiers, ensigns, sergeants and foremen. They are deleted from the row of "reserves" at 35, 45 or 50 years old at the first, second and third rank, respectively.

officers

Such people will be deregistered in the military registration and enlistment office at the age of 50-60. At the second category, a citizen loses the status of a "reserve" at the age of 55.

Captains and Majors

But that's not all. The age limit for military service for majors, lieutenant colonels, captains of the 2nd and 3rd ranks will be almost the same as for junior officers. However, it is longer.

The thing is that at the first category, a person is removed from the register at the military registration and enlistment office at the age of 55. The age limit for being a "reserve" with the second category is 60 years, and with the third - 65 years.

senior ranks

In addition, colonels and senior officers have only 2 ranks. And this greatly simplifies the search for an answer to the question we are studying.

Senior officers are discharged from the reserve at 65 and 70 years old, and the rest of those liable for military service at 60 or 65 years old. Other options for the development of events are not provided.

It is possible to deregister in the military registration and enlistment office ahead of schedule only for health reasons. As a rule, the unfit for service and the disabled are entitled to early release from military duty. This practice does exist.

Women

All the above features are relevant only for the male half of the population. After all, men are people who are considered liable for military service in Russia. Women do not have compulsory service in the army and registration with the military registration and enlistment office.

However, the sexes do meet. For them, the age limit for being in the reserve (the ranks of the reserve also affect this indicator) is 50 years. This restriction is relevant for officer ranks. The rest of the women cease to be "reserves" in the commissariats at the age of 45.

Responsibilities

What is to be done by the conscripts? Such people are considered until the moment of dismissal from the reserve. Accordingly, you will have to perform some duties.

These include:

arrival at the military registration and enlistment office on the agenda;
passing the commission on the agenda;
notification of military registration and enlistment offices about changes in health or marital status;
registration with the commissariat at the place of residence;
deregistration in the military registration and enlistment office, if a citizen plans to leave the region for more than 3 months;
arrival at military training;
passage in the army.

As a rule, failure to perform these duties is an administrative violation. Only urgent draft evasion is considered a criminal offence.

About responsibility

We found out what reserve ranks are found and the age limit for the stay of those liable for military service on the register in the commissariats. What threatens a person for non-fulfillment of military duties?

Most often, you will face administrative fines of up to 500 rubles. This is the cost of evading military training or ignoring subpoenas from the military registration and enlistment office.

In case of evasion of an urgent call, a criminal case is initiated against a citizen. Under such circumstances, a person can be imprisoned for a maximum of 2 years, and then still be drafted into the army.

Conclusion

There are no plans to increase the age limit for service in Russia in the coming years. Therefore, we can assume that a citizen is considered a "reserve" until the age of 60-65. In exceptional cases - up to 70, but no more.

Upon reaching the indicated ages, it is necessary to go to the military enlistment office by registration and be deregistered. This process does not cause any trouble. After him, a resident of the Russian Federation ceases to be considered liable for military service. He will not be called up for service in wartime, he is exempted from the need to attend military training.

Thus, one should not think that the age limit for military service is limited to the draft period and military service. Even after an urgent call, you will have to fulfill your military duties.

Not only those who served, but also those who received a deferment or complete exemption from service are transferred to the ranks of "reserves".

The question of the age limit for military service has been raised at the legislative level for several years now. But it is precisely on the indicator of the age limit of military personnel that their career largely depends, as well as the prospects of a person who gives the best years of his life to the service of the Motherland.

That is why the state chose to take a truly serious and responsible step towards the formation of a professional army. And although the debate about the age threshold will continue to disturb the public, it is worth understanding the state of this issue today.

What does age limit mean?

Legislation on conscription and military service has existed since the distant 1988. Federal Law No. 53 talks about the features of service, and also pays attention to such a concept as the age limit for military service. This issue is discussed in more detail in article 49.

This norm contains exact figures that regulate the maximum age of being in the army.

There are regulations that directly affect restrictions on the fact of being in the ranks of the armed forces. These norms are discussed in more detail in the regulation on the order of service, which was fixed by his decree on September 16, 1999, the President of Russia. This document has the number 1237, and it is valid today.

All of the above provisions will regulate the issues of signing contracts with military personnel, as well as the nuances of signing contracts with persons who are already directly approaching the age limit for military service.

What is the age limit for military service?

To date, when determining the age limit for military service, the legislator has linked directly with the rank to which a citizen has risen.

Back in 2014, the age of a serviceman was increased by 5 years, but the officer retained the right to leave the ranks of the armed forces with the right to maintain a pension even before the age limit.

At the same time, the age of the stock was increased.

If it becomes necessary to call ensigns into the ranks of army employees, then their age can reach a maximum of 50 years, depending on the specific specialization.

As for the lower officers, then these citizens can serve up to the age of 60.

As for persons who are in the rank of major, as well as captains of the second and third ranks, they are called up before the age of 65 years.

Colonels and captains of the 1st rank are called up until the age of 65, and the highest officer reserve even up to 70 years.

Separate provisions apply to female military personnel. If they are in the reserve in the officer rank, they will be called up to 50 years.

If a serviceman has approached the age limit over the years of his work, then he can still count on signing a new contract. However, only certain citizens can count on it.

Marshals of the Russian Federation.
Fleet admirals.
Army Generals.
Colonel General.

These persons have the right to sign a contract until the age of 70. If we are talking about other military personnel, then these citizens can sign contracts up to the age of 65 years.

Article 49 age limit for military service

Article 49 of Federal Law 64 of April 2, 2014 talks about what provisions touched on the issue of the age limit. Thus, in accordance with paragraph 1 of this regulatory legal act, the age limit for military service is established only for certain categories of citizens.

These are marshals, admirals of the fleet, colonel generals, whose age cannot exceed 65 years.

Vice admirals and major generals under 60.
Colonels and captains of the 1st rank up to 55 years old.
Lieutenants in military rank up to 50 years.

The second paragraph of this normative legal act contains provisions on women whose age in military service is set at 45 years.

If military personnel have reached the age limit in accordance with this article, but wish to enter into a new contract, o they have every right to retire from military service due to age may enter into a new contract, if this implies, again, age.

A new contract may be concluded with persons in accordance with the third paragraph of the article who have a military rank:

Marshals.
Generals.
Admirals.
Colonel generals.

An agreement is reached with these people until the age of 70.

With persons who have a double military rank, this age cannot exceed 65 years

Age restrictions

Thus, Article 49 of Federal Law No. 53 provided for the following age restrictions.

65 years is the age of conclusion of an agreement for marshals, generals, admirals, colonel generals.
60 years is the deadline for lieutenant generals, vice admirals, rear admirals, major generals.
55 years is the deadline for colonels and captains of the first rank.
50 years for other army ranks.

What caused the restrictions

Many military personnel still cannot understand why such restrictions appeared. From the point of view of the legislator, this is explained by the fact that there is more logic in such a decision. For example, dismissing a general who has reached the age of 55 on the basis that he has already reached a certain age is unreasonable. Especially if at the age of 55 a man is perfectly built, feels good, and most importantly, is important for the Russian army.

It also seems unreasonable to dismiss a 50-year-old colonel or doctor of science from a military academy only on the basis of reaching a certain age.

However, a completely different thing happens in a situation where, at the age of 65, a commander independently takes off his shoulder straps and decides to retire.

It is already quite difficult for a person at the age of 65 to be at the landfills, as well as to carry out any physical labor.

But if a person sits only in the office, spends time behind papers with discussions, then at the age of 65 he will feel great in the service.

Therefore, in matters of assigning restrictions, certain limits were established that take into account not only the age, but also the type of activity of each serviceman. After all, people who carry out physical activity are quickly exhausted, in contrast to people who are engaged in office and paper work.

Legislative changes

The latest changes in legislation took place in 2014, when Federal Law No. 53 saw the light of day. However, it is planned to review this issue more meticulously in the near future and create a new legal act that will be entirely devoted to this issue.

Reasons for change

When preparing this legal act, the Ministry of Defense took into account only one reason.

Today, a special system of selection, contract service, and training of future fighters operates in the ranks of the armed forces.

All officers want to see in their branches and units not only military personnel, but also professionals and people who are motivated for long military service, and not those who joined the army just because they did not find themselves in the civil service.

Candidates for military personnel very often see in serving the Motherland only the possibility of obtaining an apartment, as well as a new way of earning. Military service is not seen as a goal, a perspective and a profession.

It is a well-known practice that at the age of 30 a man decides to enlist as a soldier only because he cannot earn enough money as a civilian. With the increase in the maximum age of service, a person who, at the age of 30, has come to the idea that he wants to connect his life with military service, can reach a pension, and most importantly, have time to receive it.

Service time extension

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin proportionally increased the age of a serviceman to 65 years.

The head of state explained that the introduction of such a condition would increase the age limit for military service.

In addition, such a measure will make it possible to adjust the composition and ranks of citizens, as well as to prepare professionals in the best possible way for a long, and most importantly, professional activity.

Features of women's service

Women who serve in the armed forces of the Russian Federation were also touched upon by the issue of changing the age limit. Now, for ladies, the age limit for military service, which is not determined by rank, will be 45 years.

However, if a woman wants to continue working, while she is important for military service, then she, of course, can stay and continue her activities until she considers it necessary to resign.

Seniority

Length of service is understood as a special type of continuous and seniority, which will involve the accrual of pension remuneration, also combined with certain benefits and increases. These benefits and increases will be commensurate with the number of years worked.

Also, the legislation of the Russian Federation strictly defined categories of persons who, by virtue of their professional duties, being in a certain position, and also in accordance with working conditions, may be entitled to a pension calculation that will correspond to the concept of seniority.

A complete list of such persons, including military personnel, can be found on the website of the pension fund, as well as in the relevant regulatory legal acts that are able to answer this question.

Pension amount

On the territory of the Russian Federation, there is an opportunity to become a military pensioner, without even taking into account the link to age. They retire at the age of about 40, and some military personnel even earlier.

However, today the situation is rapidly changing, and military personnel arrive at their place until their venerable age. This is done so that the serviceman is useful to the army for as long as possible, and so that the size of the pension is as large as possible for the life and maintenance of the elderly.

In order to get such a necessary general experience for military personnel, you will need to work in certain military structures for up to 20 years, and sometimes even more.

If there was a disability, as well as deaths, then such a circumstance will serve as the basis for calculating pensions both for the disabled and for the relatives of the deceased serviceman.

The size of the pension provision will also be directly affected by the amount of the monetary allowance itself, which the serviceman disposed of. The amount of monetary allowance will consist of several indicators at once. This is a salary, as well as other payments that were due to a particular soldier.

If a citizen expects that he will retire upon reaching the age limit, then he will be able to count on the largest possible pension. This means that he received the maximum length of service, so the amount of his monetary allowance can reach up to 95%, which will not affect life in any way, also in the social status of a serviceman.

On the contrary, if a serviceman retires when he has not yet reached the age limit, but has received an average length of service, then the amount of his pension will be average, it may equal 50 or 60% of the available monetary allowance, which, naturally, will not have the best effect on his social status.

Also, in addition to the basic pension provision, if a serviceman fits into any category of citizens that were specified in Articles 38, 17, 24, 45 of Federal Law 4468, he can count on receiving an allowance, as well as an increase in pension.

If a soldier continues to work as they say “in civilian life”, even after reaching a respectable age, then also may qualify for an additional insurance pension. However, for this, the relevant conditions must be met, for example, retirement age, length of service and the required amount. This will provide a good increase to the pension in the form of second payments.

What to do when you reach

What to do if the serviceman has reached the age limit, and then does not know what to do?

He can no longer remain in military service. For example, the activity of a serviceman was associated with physical labor and, unfortunately, took a lot of work and physical strength. Therefore, there are no more reasons to remain in military service.

What to do in this case? If the length of service allows, as well as the age limit of a soldier, it is necessary to quit. Yes exactly. Dismissal implies that a citizen retires due to reaching the age limit.

But what to do next? And then, you can go and safely draw up a military pension. A citizen deserved it, having received a certain length of service, and also, having reached a certain age. Now, a citizen can safely go to get a second civilian specialty. Indeed, this is not prohibited by law, and no one can take away your military pension from the law.

How to proceed in this matter? In fact, everything is extremely simple. A serviceman is arranged under a regular employment contract, and is also registered with the Pension Fund. The funds are transferred to his insurance account.

This means that upon dismissal from work, a citizen can count on a small pension, which the pension fund accrues to him already for having a citizen employment. This will be a small, but very tangible increase in the existing pension.

Today, it would seem, the servicemen are placed in harsh conditions. Their length of service was increased, because of this, citizens, instead of the accepted period of military service, must carry out their service for a longer time.

Also, the age limit has increased. Perhaps for those who carried out their activities in offices and other premises, this is good news. After all, now they can be in the service for a long time, thereby not being bored at home, receiving good money.

However, there are also downsides. For example, people whose activities were directly related to physical activity, now, unfortunately, can no longer perform work at the same level. And physical activity will have a bad effect on their health.

In this case, of course, the legislator leaves an individual approach and allows each citizen to reserve the right to a military pension in accordance not only with the maximum age reached, but also in accordance with the type of activity in which he was engaged.

Thus, persons who carry out their activities indoors will retire much later than persons who have been directly involved in hostilities, often visited the training grounds.

Also, it is important to realize that military retirement is not a sentence. A citizen retains the right to continue his labor activity, but not within the framework of military service, but, for example, within the framework of other activities in civilian life.

For example, the implementation of civic activities, opening your own business, as well as a device under an employment contract. Thus, even in old age, you can try to start a new life, which will be marked by a new work activity, new prospects and career growth.

Leadership positions involve high responsibility and are especially important for the formation of the army. Therefore, it is unacceptable that such duties should lie with a serviceman who is unable to perform them due to poor health or poor physical fitness. To control the timely departure of pensioners, the government introduced a law that provides for a maximum age for military service. Reasons for such a restriction The main reason that prompted the government to decide on the official introduction of restrictions was the physiological characteristics of the human body. The experience accumulated over the years, high theoretical training, combat tactics are the undeniable advantages of high ranks. However, old age takes away the strength and energy of the strongest warrior, and in fact poor physical shape is unacceptable for the defender of the Motherland.

The firmness of character and perseverance that is inherent in every high-ranking military man is another reason for strictly limiting the age limit for military service. Not everyone is ready to leave their personnel, come to terms with age, recognize the inevitable old age.

If there were no law, the owners of shoulder straps would not leave their post in a timely manner. Age limit for military service In 2014, changes were made to the Federal Law on the Service of Contract Soldiers.
