What is a post in the guard service?

Medical examination

What responsibility for failure to register for military service takes place in Russia in this or that case?
We have already considered the answer to this question. The most common scenarios were presented to our attention, but they are not exhaustive. It happens that during a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, a citizen is suspected or discovered to have some disease that requires independent treatment and advanced diagnostics. In this case, the potential conscript must take care of his health independently.

Refusal to undergo additional medical examinations is interpreted in Russian legislation as a violation of the law. For this, a person is brought to administrative responsibility. You will have to pay 500 rubles for the corresponding act.

Acceptance and delivery of a post

Appendix 13. Charter of the garrison and guard services of the armed forces of the Russian Federation
Every 2 hours there is a change of guards at the post in good weather. In winter, if the temperature is below 20 degrees, all sentries in the cold are replaced after 1 hour. In summer, if the heat rises above 30 degrees, the guards also stand on duty for 1 hour. All instructions about the position of troops and the time of changing of the guard are given by the duty officer of the military unit.

The changing of the guard is carried out only by authorized persons. It is forbidden for any other person to do this. An exception to the rules is allowed only in a few cases. This is permissible if the chief of the guard and his assistant, as well as the guard, were unable to do this due to illness, injury or death. In such circumstances, the shift is made by the duty officer at the military unit or garrison. The guard company commander must be present during the execution of the task.

The sentries standing at the entrance to the guardhouse are replaced more often every half hour.

The guards are replaced according to the regulations. The guard should approach the soldier 10 meters away and give the command: “Change - stop.” After which, on his orders, one of the accompanying guards monitors the post during the shift.

The sentry who is being relieved stands opposite the chief, holding his weapon in the “belt” position. The leader of the guard gives orders to the one taking up the post. Then he approaches the guard standing opposite him and stands next to him without turning around. Next comes the command to surrender the post. At this moment, the sentry must turn his head to the receiving guard and verbally make the change. At the same time, he must give the number of the post being surrendered and pronounce a complete list of property that is under protection. A report on the performance of service is required.

At the end of the report, the guard gives the command for the guard to take over the post. Afterwards, the receiving post and the person handing it over, together with the guard guard, make a complete tour of the facility. They fully check the safety of property

During this procedure, attention is paid to lighting and the integrity of all windows and doors. The storage of weapons and ammunition is carefully inspected for damage, all locks and seals on them are checked for compliance with the casts

Afterwards there is a recount of weapons and equipment

It is important to carefully check communications, security systems and equipment needed to extinguish a fire

When changing guards, the guard makes a note about this in a special checklist.

Carrying out guard duty is a very difficult task. He has to perform his duties in any conditions. The slightest non-compliance with the requirements results in serious problems for the serviceman at the post.

Who is the sentry: his immunity

The charter of the garrison and guard services of the RF Armed Forces establishes that for the immediate protection and defense of objects, sentries are posted from the guard. The same Charter defines a sentry as an armed guard, performing a combat mission to protect and defend the post assigned to him.

A post means an object designated for direct protection and the surrounding area, equipped with a security alarm and protective structures (fences, barbed wire, watchtowers, firing points, control and trail strip). Security can be carried out inside the fence (if there is a single row arrangement) or between the fences (if there are two of them), with good visibility - from the tower.

As a rule, military personnel from the category of ordinary soldiers (sailors) are appointed as sentries. If their numbers are insufficient, individual guard shifts can be staffed from among sergeants (foremen), while the guard must be of equal or higher rank.

When serving on duty, the sentry is provided with military weapons. The organization of guard duty involves loading weapons according to the rules specified in Article 125 of the Charter, while the cartridge is not loaded into the chamber, the weapon is put on safety. This procedure is carried out before going to posts.

According to the Charter, the sentry must have a weapon with an attached bayonet-knife (bayonet), while an assault rifle with a folding butt - without a bayonet-knife, and a bayonet-knife - in a sheath on the waist belt. The pistol is kept in a buttoned holster attached to the waist belt. An assault rifle with a folding stock is placed in the “chest” position. The carbine is placed against the leg.

At night, the weapon is held in a position from which it is possible to fire from a standing position. The weapon itself must be loaded and ready to fire. In the event of extinguishing a fire or eliminating the consequences of a natural disaster, the sentry is allowed to hold a weapon behind his back.

When serving at a post, a sentry is given a special, very serious legal status, being an inviolable person. Article 204 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services of the RF Armed Forces explains that the immunity of a sentry consists of:

in the special protection by the legislation of the Russian Federation of his rights and personal dignity;
in his subordination to strictly defined persons - the chief of the guard, the assistant chief of the guard and his guard;
it is the duty of all persons to unquestioningly fulfill the requirements of the sentry determined by his service;
in granting him the right to use weapons in the cases specified in this Charter.

These provisions (including the right to use weapons) are inextricably linked with the goals and functions of the proper performance of guard duty: it is in order for their implementation to be as effective as possible that the sentry is endowed with such broad rights and opportunities. At the same time, the Charter imposes increased responsibility on him. In particular, unauthorized abandonment of a post by a sentry is recognized as a crime against military service, for which, depending on the circumstances, not only disciplinary, but also criminal punishment can be imposed.

Let's fast without fanaticism

Charter of garrison and guard services of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

Most modern priests agree that strictness in observing fasting should correspond to the degree of a person’s church involvement, his health and lifestyle. Thus, fasting is greatly facilitated for pregnant and lactating women, children, sick people, travelers, military personnel, and people whose nutrition does not depend on them.

It is a mistake to equate fasting with a diet and follow it only in order to lose weight, thereby distorting the very essence of abstaining from fast food

Nutrition is an important component of Orthodox fasting, but you should not pay undue attention to the culinary issue; more important than food is communication with God through prayer, repentance, participation in the Sacrament of Communion, caring for your neighbors and the desire to improve your life. . https://www.youtube.com/embed/ts4CNS31JIY

Sentinel immunity

What is an outfit in the army

Regardless of the affiliation of the Armed Forces to a particular state, due to the nature of the combat mission being performed, the sentry is legally subject to a special right to immunity.

According to the Charter of the garrison and guard service of the Russian Armed Forces, a sentry is an inviolable person while on duty. The immunity of the sentry is:

in special protection by law of his rights and personal dignity;
in his subordination to strictly defined persons - the chief of the guard, the assistant chief of the guard and his guard;
it is the duty of all persons to unquestioningly fulfill the requirements of the sentry determined by his service;
in granting him the right to use weapons in the cases specified in the Charter of Garrison and Guard Service.

Only the chief of the guard, the assistant chief of the guard and his guard, to whom the sentry is subordinate, have the right to change or remove the sentry. In the event of the death of the guard commander, his assistant and the guard, or if it is physically impossible for them to perform their duties, the removal or change of the guard is carried out by the guard on duty (at the military unit) in the presence of his company (battery) or battalion (division) commander.

A similar special status of a sentry is legally enshrined in the Armed Forces of other states. For example, in the US Armed Forces and the Republic of Kazakhstan Armed Forces.

Duties of a sentry in the army

The main duties of a sentry, according to the Charter (Article 207):

vigilantly guard and steadfastly defend your post;
to serve cheerfully, not to be distracted by anything, not to let go of the weapon and not to give it to anyone, including the persons to whom he is subordinate;
moving along the indicated route or being on the observation tower, carefully inspect the approaches to the post, the fence and report via communications on the progress of the service within the time limits established by the post report card;
not leave his post until he is relieved or relieved, even if his life is in danger; unauthorized abandonment of post is a crime against military service;
have weapons at the post loaded according to the rules specified in Article 125 of this Charter, and always ready for action;
do not allow anyone to approach the post closer than the distance specified in the post report card and indicated on the ground by signs of the forbidden border, except the chief of the guard, the assistant chief of the guard, his guard and the persons they accompany;
know the routes and traffic schedule of guard vehicles, as well as their identification marks and signals;
know the advance routes, identification marks (signals) of the reserve guard group and the duty unit, the lines they occupy and positions near the post;
be able to use fire extinguishing equipment at the post;
call the chief of guard if a malfunction is detected in the fence of the facility (at the post) and violations of order near his post or at a neighboring post;
upon hearing the barking of a guard dog, as well as when technical security means are activated, immediately report to the guardhouse.

The duties of the sentry are not limited by the Charter. He should also know:

access control schedule at a trusted post;
nuances of the security system;
the appearance of the original pass documents both for citizens and for transport (in order to be able to distinguish them from fakes).

If the sentry, when checking documents, finds a discrepancy in the data or catches a person in providing a counterfeit document, he has the right to detain this person and call the authorities to continue to explain the situation.

About prohibitions

There are other taboos for sentries. They should not sit or lean against anything. The thing is that it increases the likelihood of falling asleep. Also at these moments their visibility is limited. The sentry is not allowed to write, read, eat, drink, smoke, or perform natural needs. It is unacceptable to be distracted from the service at all. In addition, the guard cannot communicate with anyone except the guard superiors.

It is important to remember that many provisions in the charter are written in blood. For this reason, it makes sense to unquestioningly comply with all points

Thus, under no circumstances should you engage in the transfer of objects.

Speaking of prohibitions, I would like to say a few words about the Greek Evzones. Previously, they took part in battles, for example, against Turkish invaders. Now the Evzones are one of the symbols of Greece. There is a special part where only tall and slender guys are selected, because their duty is to perform guard duty in Syndagma Square near the government building. In any weather (rain, snow, heat) and under any circumstances, the Evzones must defend their allotted hours without moving, like stone statues. They are only allowed to blink. Agree, this requires incredible endurance. But let's return to our sentries.

Sentinel rights

The main right of a sentry is his right to immunity while serving at his post. As noted above, the sentry is given the right to use weapons in situations specified by the Charter. But in general, all the expanded rights of a sentry apply only to the post he guards. In addition, they are accompanied by strict requirements and prohibitions designed to ensure the proper performance of their duties by the sentry.

What is prohibited for a sentry on duty?

According to Article 209 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services of the RF Armed Forces, a sentry is prohibited from: sleeping, sitting, leaning against anything, writing, reading, singing, talking, using personal means of communication, eating, drinking, smoking, performing natural needs or otherwise being distracted from performing their duties. In addition, the sentry is prohibited from:

accept from anyone and transfer to anyone any objects;
cause by your actions the activation of technical security means;
unnecessarily send a cartridge into the chamber.

Since May 2022, according to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, this list has been supplemented by a ban on the sentry from carrying electronic products in which they can be stored or which allow the distribution or provision of audio, photo, video materials and geolocation data using the Internet.

Article 219 of the Charter additionally states that the guard at the checkpoint is prohibited from giving information about the validity of passes and codes on them, entering into a conversation not related to checking passes, or allowing unauthorized persons or any objects to be at the post.

What is allowed to a sentry on duty?

In fact, the sentry is allowed only actions related to the performance of his official duties, that is, ensuring the security of the post entrusted to him. The sentry has the right to use weapons when:

attack on one's own person;
attack on a protected object.

According to the requirements of Article 210 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services of the RF Armed Forces, the sentry must answer questions only from the guard chief, the assistant guard chief, his guard and those who arrived for inspection. Article 216 of the Charter gives the sentry permission in extreme, urgent cases or in the event of a malfunction of communication means to call the guard commander or a guard to the post with a shot in the air.

Adviсe

Take time to pray. Cast all your worries on Him. Remember that you should not worry about anything and pray about everything.
If you accidentally eat something while fasting, repent and return to fasting. This happens because we eat out of habit.
To begin with, you can try a week-long fast, reducing the amount of food you eat and abstaining from sweets and caffeine - this will prepare you for a more serious fast. Two days before starting a deep fast, eat only fruits and vegetables and drink only water. This will prepare you physically and mentally to cope without your favorite foods.
For those who drink juice during fasting: fresh melon, grapes, apples, zucchini, beets, carrots and green vegetables are especially useful. Avoid drinking citrus fruits and other acidic juices. Start your morning with a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice.
Around 12 noon, drink another glass of vegetable juice.
At around 3:00 p.m., allow yourself a cup of herbal tea, make sure it does not contain caffeine.
In the evening, drink vegetable broth - let someone else eat the vegetables themselves. To prepare the broth, cook carrots or mixed vegetables in boiling water. Do not add any salt or oil.

One-day posts

There are several more fasting days, here we can note three days of especially strict fasting:

- Epiphany Christmas Eve, it falls on January 18, on this day those who fast remember the Baptism performed by John the Baptist on the Lord. John baptized the Jews so that they would forsake their sins, therefore modern Christians are preparing for cleansing from sins, which is associated with the need for fasting.

– The beheading of John the Baptist (September 11) is a great day of remembrance when the great prophet was executed.

– The Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord (September 27) is the day when the event of the Savior’s crucifixion on the cross is remembered.

Preparation for the process

Germany's unleashing of an aggressive war, genocide used as a state ideology, the technology developed and put into production for mass extermination of people in “death factories,” inhumane treatment of prisoners of war and their murder became widely known to the world community and required appropriate legal qualifications and condemnation.

the trial was called the trial of major war criminals, and the court was given the status of a military tribunal.

The first list of accused was agreed on August 8 in London. It did not include either Hitler or his closest subordinates Himmler and Goebbels, whose deaths were firmly established, but Bormann, who was allegedly killed on the streets of Berlin, was accused in absentia (lat. in contumaciam).

The rules of conduct for Soviet representatives at the trial were established by the “Commission for the Management of the Work of Soviet Representatives at the International Tribunal in Nuremberg.” It was headed by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR Andrei Vyshinsky. To London, where the winners were preparing the charter of the Nuremberg trials, a delegation from Moscow brought a list of undesirable issues approved in November 1945. It had nine points. The first point was the secret protocol to the Soviet-German non-aggression pact and everything connected with it. The last point concerned Western Ukraine and Western Belarus and the problem of Soviet-Polish relations. As a result, between representatives of the USSR and the allies, an agreement was reached in advance on the issues to be discussed, and a list of topics was agreed upon that should not have been touched upon during the trial.

Types of guard

According to the Charter of the garrison and guard services of the RF Armed Forces, guards are divided into garrison and internal (ship) ones. They can be permanent or temporary. Permanent guards are provided for in the guard schedule.

Internal (ship) guards are subordinate to the commander of the military unit (ship), the duty officer at the military unit (ship) and his assistant, if the assistant to the duty officer at the military unit (ship) is an officer. The internal guard, guarding the facilities of a battalion (division), located separately from the rest of the units of the military unit, is also subordinate to the commander of this battalion (division) and the duty officer of the battalion (division), equal or senior in military rank to the chief of the guard.

The assistant on duty at a military unit, appointed from among the warrant officers (midshipmen), is subordinate to guards, the commanders of which are appointed not from among the officers, and the assistant to the duty officer at the military unit, appointed from among the sergeants (foremen), are subordinate to guards, the commanders of which are appointed from among the sergeants ( foremen).

The internal guard guarding military personnel sentenced to arrest and held in guardhouses is subordinate to the military commandant of the garrison, the duty officer at the military commandant's office and the head of the guardhouse, and guarding military personnel held in a disciplinary military unit is subordinate to the commander of the disciplinary military unit, the duty officer at the military commandant's office and his assistant , if the assistant on duty at the military commandant’s office is an officer.

The guard at the guardhouse is also subordinate to the military commandant of the garrison, his deputy, the duty officer at the military commandant's office and the head of the guardhouse.

Mobile guard

It is a temporary formation created for the duration of transportation and until the personnel return to the military unit. Also, a traveling guard can be called a formation for the protection of an object related to a military unit, but located outside the territory of the military camp occupied by it.

Temporary guard

Temporary guards are not included in the guard schedule; they are appointed by order of the head of the garrison or the commander of the military unit (chief of the military police):

The duty of a sentry is: what type of duties are the duties of a sentry in the army?

Each serviceman has responsibilities, classified according to their types as general, official and special. General duties apply to everyone in military service. Job responsibilities are determined depending on military specialization and position held. Special duties, as a rule, are temporary in nature and associated with military service in special conditions (during combat duty, detachments, guard duty, in emergency situations).

Thus, the duties of a sentry in the army and other law enforcement agencies are classified as special. This is reflected in the current Charter of the Internal Service of the RF Armed Forces, in the first chapter of its first part, which sets out the most general provisions for military service. Article 25 of this Charter directly establishes that military personnel who (among other specified cases) are on guard duty, in order to perform their duties, may be given additional rights to use weapons, physical force, special means, present mandatory requirements, and strictly obey certain persons and other rights that are determined by federal laws, general military regulations and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation.

The list of the main duties of a sentry is specified in Article 207 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services of the RF Armed Forces. According to the requirements established therein, any sentry is obliged to:

vigilantly guard and steadfastly defend your post;
to serve cheerfully, not to be distracted by anything, not to let go of the weapon and not to give it to anyone, including the persons to whom he must obey;
moving along the indicated route or being on the observation tower, carefully inspect the approaches to the post, the fence and report via communications on the progress of the service within the time limits established by the post report card;

In addition, there are special duties of sentries established in relation to the conditions of security and defense of a particular facility. They can be indicated in the post report card - a document that notes the features of each individual post, the methods and conditions of serving at it. For several of the most typical objects, the special duties of sentries are directly established by the Charter of the garrison and guard services.

In particular, Article 219 of the Charter states that the guard at the checkpoint, in addition to fulfilling other statutory requirements, is obliged to:

know the features of security and access control at the post, the description and validity period of the passes, identification documents, as well as the responsibilities set out in the post report card;

The sentry notifies the guard commander of the approach of these persons with an established signal and freely allows them into the guardhouse. The guard stops all other persons approaching the guardhouse at the distance indicated in the post report card and calls the chief of the guard or his assistant.

When the sentry’s shout is answered: “The guard chief (assistant guard chief, guard) is coming,” the sentry orders: “The guard chief (assistant guard chief, guard), come to me, the rest are in place.” If necessary, the sentry requires that those approaching him illuminate his face. Having made sure that the one who introduced himself is really the chief of the guard (the assistant chief of the guard, the guard), the guard allows him and all the arriving persons to come to him.

If the one who identified himself as the guard chief (assistant guard chief) turns out to be unknown or those with him do not comply with the sentry’s demands to remain in place, the sentry warns the violators with the shout “Stop, I’ll shoot.” If the violators fail to comply with this requirement, the sentry uses a weapon against them.

Article 217 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services provides that the sentry, upon arrival at the post of the commanders to whom he is subordinate, reports to them on the results of his service. For example: “Comrade Lieutenant. No incidents happened while on duty (or something happened).” At the same time, the sentry greets them, as well as the commanders who arrived at the post accompanied by them, according to the rules set out in the Military Regulations of the RF Armed Forces, for which the machine gun from the standing shooting position is first taken “on the belt”, and the carbine - “on the leg”.

The sentry at the post at the Battle Banner performs his duties while in the “at-ease” position. When greeted by military personnel with the Battle Banner, the sentry assumes a drill stance. During the reception of the Battle Banner under guard, the guard is obliged to check the serviceability of the banner case (cabinet) and the seal on it. The guard issues the Battle Banner only on the personal order of the chief of guard and in his presence.

Actions of a sentry during an attack on a post

Article 210 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services not only allows the sentry, but even obliges him to use weapons without warning in the event of an obvious attack on him or the object he is guarding. The same measures are considered acceptable in the case of an immediate threat of attack (physical pressure), when delay in using weapons creates an immediate danger to people’s lives or may entail other grave consequences. At the same time, the use of weapons should not cause harm to the protected object or third parties.

Actions of a sentry in case of fire

According to Article 214 of the Charter of the Garrison and Guard Services, in the event of a fire at the post, the sentry must immediately report it to the guardhouse and, without stopping monitoring the protected object, take measures to extinguish the fire. In the event of a fire in the technical territory of a protected facility or in a facility that has external and internal fences, as well as near the post, he reports this to the guardhouse, continuing to serve at the post.

The duties of the sentry include the requirement to be able to use the fire extinguishing equipment at the post. Also, when extinguishing a fire, the Charter allows the sentry to have a weapon in the “behind his back” position.

If the post at the Battle Banner is in danger (fire or other emergency of a natural or man-made nature), the sentry reports this to the chief of the guard and takes the Battle Banner to a safe place.

Post, its equipment and facilities.

The article is read. 119 of the Charter of the Civil Code and the Constitutional Court of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

A post is everything entrusted to the guard for protection and defense, as well as the place or area of terrain in which he performs his duties.

The posts also include objects protected by guards using technical security means and areas of the area where these means are installed.

Objects included in the post are usually fenced. The most important of them (warehouses with explosives, ammunition, fuel, etc.) must have internal and external fences.

For the convenience of monitoring the approaches to the protected object, observation towers equipped with communications equipment, alarms and floodlights can be installed in the spaces between the fences (near the external fence).

On the approaches to a protected object that does not have a fence, signs are installed that are clearly visible day and night with inscriptions in which direction it is necessary to go around the object without approaching it.

Each post is equipped with a feedback alarm, which must provide the sentry with a call to the chief of the guard, from at least two points, his assistant or the dispatcher, this is done so that the sentry, in the event of an attack on the post, can report this to the guardhouse.

At the external, and, in necessary cases, at the internal post (at the location of the military unit) directly next to the protected object, fire extinguishing means should be located: fire extinguisher, boxes of sand, barrels (containers) with water, buckets and fire equipment (shovels, axes, crowbars) , hooks, etc.).

At the outer post there is a guard mushroom or a guard booth with a hanger specially equipped for guard clothes, at the inner post there is a wardrobe or hanger for an overcoat (cloak, sheepskin coat).

It makes sense to show this in your post layout.

4.4. The position of the weapon of the sentry on duty.

Art. is explained. 208 of the Charter of the Civil Code and the Constitutional Court of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and shows the position of the weapon of the sentry at his post

The sentry on duty must have a weapon with an attached bayonet (an assault rifle with a folding butt - without a bayonet-knife; a bayonet-knife in a sheath on the waist belt): at night - in the ready position for shooting while standing; in the daytime - in the “ belt ” position or in the ready position for shooting while standing.

At internal posts and at the post near the Battle Banner, an assault rifle with a wooden butt should be in the “ on the belt ” position, and an assault rifle with a folding butt should be in the “ chest” or “leg ” position; the bag with the loaded magazine (magazines) must be zipped.

In the event of extinguishing a fire or eliminating the consequences of a natural disaster, the sentry is allowed to have a weapon in the “ behind his back ” position.

Then, using the example of one or two trainees, the “position of the weapon of a sentry on duty” is demonstrated.

Questions to reinforce the lesson material learned:

1. Why is guard duty a combat mission and what is required from the guard personnel?

2. Who is the sentry?

3. What is fasting called?

4. Show the position of the machine gun to the sentry when preparing to fire while standing.
