The age limit in the Sun of the Russian Federation. Increased age limit for military service

The question of the age limit for military service This is not the first year that it has been raised at the legislative level. 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 best years his life in the service of his country.

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 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.

1. Vice admirals and major generals under 60.
2. Colonels and captains of the 1st rank up to 55 years old.
3. 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 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.

1. 65 years is the age of conclusion of an agreement for marshals, generals, admirals, colonel generals.
2. 60 years is the deadline for lieutenant generals, vice admirals, rear admirals, major generals.
3. 55 years is the deadline for colonels and captains of the first rank.
4. 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 number 53 saw the light. 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 in the ranks armed forces there is a special system of selection, contract service, as well as the training of future fighters.

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 new way earnings. 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 service age, 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 any category of citizens that were indicated 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. Cash 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 more long 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, individuals whose activities were directly related to physical activity, now, unfortunately, they 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, carrying out civic activities, opening own business, also, a device under an employment contract. Thus, even in old age, you can try to start new life, which will be marked by a new labor activity, new perspectives and career growth.

The procedure for concluding a new contract with military personnel, including those with military ranks of senior officers, as well as those appointed to military positions for which the state provides for military ranks of senior officers, who have reached the age limit for military service and who have expressed a desire to continue military service, is determined by Art. 49 of the Federal Law "On military service and military service" and art. 10 of the Regulations on the procedure for military service, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "Issues of military service" of September 16, 1999 N 1237.
Decisions on the conclusion of contracts with senior officers, as well as officers appointed to military positions for which the state provides for the military ranks of senior officers who have reached the age limit for military service, on the term of a new contract or on the refusal to conclude a contract are made by the President of the Russian Federation.
The specified military personnel who have reached (reaching) the age limit for military service, for the conclusion of a new contract, submit a report on command with an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation on the decision to conclude a contract with them, at least six months before the expiration of the current contract.
If the President of the Russian Federation decides to conclude a contract with these military personnel and its validity period, the specified contract is signed by the commander (chief), who is granted the right to sign new contracts.
According to paragraph 1 of Art. 38 of the said Federal Law, the period of military service for servicemen undergoing military service under a contract is determined by the period specified in the contract for military service. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 3 of the Regulations on the procedure for passing military service, the term of military service expires for military personnel undergoing military service under a contract on the corresponding month and date last year term of the contract or on the corresponding day of the last month of the term of the contract, if the contract was concluded for a period of up to one year.
Based on this requirement, paragraph 7 of Art. 9 of the Regulations on the procedure for passing military service, it is determined that with a serviceman whose term of the previous contract ends, a new contract is concluded on the day following the day the term of the previous contract expires.
Thus, according to general rule the report and materials on the conclusion of a new contract with military personnel must be received by the President of the Russian Federation in such a way that the conclusion of a new contract in accordance with the order of the President of the Russian Federation is carried out by the relevant official on the day following the expiration date of the previous contract.
However, in a number of cases, the order of the President of the Russian Federation on the conclusion of a contract with a serviceman who has reached the age limit for military service is issued later than the expiration of the term of the previous contract for this serviceman. In these cases, when concluding a new contract with a serviceman, it is necessary to be guided by paragraph 4 of Art. 32 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service", in accordance with which the contract for military service terminates from the day the military serviceman concludes another contract for military service, the serviceman is excluded from the lists of the military unit, as well as in other cases established by federal laws.
Based on the provisions of paragraph 4 of Art. 32, art. 49 of the Federal Law "On Conscription of Military Service" and Art. 10 of the Regulations on the Procedure for Passing Military Service, a contract with a serviceman in these cases should be concluded not from the date of expiration of the previous contract, but from the date of entry into force of the relevant order of the President of the Russian Federation.

print version

Leadership positions involve high responsibility and are especially important for the formation of the army. Therefore, it is unacceptable for such duties to be the responsibility of 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 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, reconcile 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.
In accordance with the new rules, the achievement of the age limit for military service for senior ranks occurs at 65 years.

Legislatively, the issue of the terms of stay in the ranks was fixed by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of April 2, 2014 N 64-FZ “On Amendments to Articles 49 and 53 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”.

If a serviceman in the military rank of colonel and his equal is set the age limit of 55 years, then other categories of servicemen, including sergeants, junior and middle-level officers, have been increased to 50 years. But the maximum period of stay in military service established by law does not exclude the extension of the contract by military personnel on the recommendation of attestation commissions. military units over the age limit.

Will there be an increase in the age limit for citizens in military service in the near future? This question worries many, and we will try to give an answer in this article.

How are things going in 2017

To date, the country continues to operate the 53rd law, which regulates the passage of service and other issues related to military duty. It was adopted in March 1998.

In April 2014, other federal normative act number 64 was amended. In particular, the new wording of Articles 49 and 53 provides for extended periods of military service.

These amendments extended the term of stay in the army by 5 years. This rule applies not only to military personnel, but also to representatives of other law enforcement agencies equated to them:

• Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc.

In accordance with this norm, the duration of official activity directly depends on what kind of rank a citizen has. It goes without saying that the officers were in the most advantageous position.

So, up to 65 years of age they have the right to remain in positions:

• marshals;
• army generals;
• admirals;
• colonel generals.

Up to 60 can serve in the Armed Forces:

• major generals;
• lieutenant generals;
• rear admirals.

The allowable age of being in the Russian army was extended to 55:

• colonels;
• captains of the 1st rank.

Previously, the holders of the last titles worked only up to 50 years.

At the same time, the new law provides for the possibility for everyone to conclude another contract after reaching the maximum allowable age. In particular, holders of higher ranks on its basis can remain in the army for another 5 years, that is, up to 70, while the rest of the officers and generals are lower in rank - up to 65.

Current regulations for persons in reserve

The same 64th Federal Law changed the age limits for those who are in the reserve. Now, in accordance with it, privates, as well as warrant officers from the reserve, are allowed to be recruited for military service from the age of 35 to 50.

At the same time, from 50 to 60, the following can be called:

• junior officers;
• majors;
• lieutenant colonels.

In turn, colonels in the reserve are now from 50 to 65 years old, and senior officers - up to 70.

In principle, such an approach is undoubtedly justified. It is difficult to call expedient the dismissal from the service of a general who has reached the age of 55 only because of his age. The specificity of his duties as a whole will allow him to fulfill his duties without difficulty for a long time.

At the same time, innovations do not cancel the right of military personnel to retire from the armed forces upon reaching a certain age. The same colonel has the ability to leave the service as early as 50 years old.

At the same time, for those who went to serve under a contract, it is important to have career prospects. After all, for example, when a 30-year-old enters the ranks, he probably wants to subsequently receive a military pension, which, under the old standards, was an unattainable task. Now he has every chance to serve to 50 and secure higher payouts.

Women

For women today, the maximum age of their service in the army is noticeably lower. Moreover, in this case, it does not matter to what rank the representative of the weaker sex has grown, one way or another, she will retire at the age of 45. This norm remains in force, and there is no reason to think that anything will change in the near future.

It is worth noting that such an approach violates the constitutional rights of women, since men, having the opportunity to be in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces for a longer time, also get more chances to rise to significant ranks.

However, the law leaves a loophole for female soldiers. In particular, after they reach the age limit, they have the right to sign a contract and stay for another 5 years in the army. Moreover, during this period they will receive promotions and new titles.
