Since October 2009, by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the school has been renamed the Federal State Treasury Military Educational Institution of Higher Education. vocational education"Military Educational and Scientific Center of the Ground Forces" Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces Russian Federation"(branch, city of Novosibirsk).

Running between buildings

At 10.00 am, we were greeted by absolute silence on the spacious territory of the military university, classes have been going on in the classrooms for a long time. The routine at the university is close to that of the army, explains Ivan Poshekhonov, lecturer at the Department of Military Intelligence. Rise - at 6.00, then exercises and breakfast. Classes start at 8:30 and run for six hours. At 15.00 - lunch, and then another three hours of classes. End - at 22.00.

With an officer we go to the building of the faculty of military intelligence, in the course of running we overtake a platoon of cadets.

“The break between classes is ten minutes, and the walk between some buildings is 15 minutes, so you have to run around,” the officer explains. “I once studied here myself, it was the same tradition. not to waste on undressing. The first course, sometimes, is late - it is difficult for them to get used to after the "citizen".

Where the cadets ran, a lost pen and eraser remained on the pavement. That's right - freshmen ran!

Who will go to explore

Military intelligence is one of the elite army professions, it is very popular, but the selection for this faculty is the most stringent.

“We have people to choose from, usually the competition is about ten people per place,” says Viktor Ozhereliev, professor of the intelligence department. “We are also given the right to recruit 10% more cadets so that, if necessary, we can weed out unsuitable people.”

Based on the results of consideration of the submitted documents, the number of applicants is reduced to three people per place. Unlike a regular university, there are higher requirements for the health and physical fitness of applicants. To get the highest score, you need to pull yourself up 25 times, run a 100-meter in 12.1 seconds, and cover three kilometers in 11 minutes.

"Our cadets have the first health group, with this you can become a pilot, a paratrooper - anyone. To make decisions in a military situation, a scout needs self-confidence, psychological stability, and, finally, he must be able to think quickly and well, therefore the third intelligence is a component of a scout,” says the professor.

“But the most important thing is the desire to become a scout, so if a cadet gets here against his will, nothing will come of it. On their own initiative, cadets do not leave the faculty, it happens that teachers do not want to teach a person further,” continues the interlocutor.

Each year, a different number of cadets are recruited to the Faculty of Military Intelligence, depending on the order of the Ministry of Defense. A training company is formed from the course, which is divided into platoons. And the entire faculty is united in a training battalion.

Upon graduation from the university, the cadet receives two specialties - "personnel management" and "military intelligence". Graduates do not remain without work - they are in demand not only in military intelligence units, but also in other branches of the military and special services.

hazing

Until 1991, military intelligence officers were taught in Kyiv, after the collapse Soviet Union in 1992, training was transferred to Novosibirsk.

"Why?" thought Ozherelyev. "Perhaps the calculation was on the endurance and unpretentiousness of the Siberians? It is known that about half of the students in a university usually come from the region where it is located."

Now cadets from various regions study here, although there are many Siberians.

“It doesn’t matter how far from home you study,” says fourth-year cadet Mikhail Startsev, who came from the Volgograd region, “it is important that it is interesting to study, but here it is very interesting.”

Mikhail went to the army for his older brother, an officer. And I chose intelligence because it is an elite education, an elite service in the future.

“Recently, a lot of guys from the south of Russia have been coming in,” says Poshekhonov. “They are distinguished by a special corrosiveness, I would say. they are a pleasure to work with."

Four dark-skinned guys in civilian clothes suddenly come out to meet us. “I wish you good health!” They say in unison, Poshekhonov responds to the greeting and, noticing a surprised look, explains: “We went to the mosque for Friday prayers. It’s normal - these are Arabs, they are studying with us to become scouts for exchange between countries " .

Military intelligence officers do not have hazing, Poshekhonov notes.

“What kind of bullying can be if you and this person are on reconnaissance tomorrow?” he says. “We don’t have martial arts at all, in this respect we differ. troops, but there was no occasion to call a soldier some kind of "monkey".

I will also address the soldier, the cadet, by name and patronymic: "Ivan Ivanovich, come here, you scoundrel! I will punish him for his misconduct, but he will remember that he is not a "monkey", but Ivan Ivanovich is a respected person."

Command language

During their studies, cadets master skills in several areas. They even learn the basics of mountaineering. They are practicing in Altai. Every year, the university team participates in Elbrusiada, a competition where you need to climb Elbrus within a certain time.

Cadets learn how to handle special equipment, they also undergo landing training - they make parachute jumps day and night, into the water, protracted, with cargo and special equipment in a wetsuit. During the study, everyone must make at least 50 jumps. They jump - from the first course.

Freshman Semyon Groo has only been studying for a couple of months, but has already made four jumps.

"I'm from the city of Lesosibirsk Krasnoyarsk Territory, graduated from the cadet corps there, because he always dreamed of becoming an officer. We have already begun classes in the management class, where commanding skills are being worked out, ”he says laconically in a military way.

We went to the management class. Here, according to Sergei Zhukov, senior lecturer at the intelligence department, cadets develop command language.

Training places are separated by partitions, cadets in headsets, with a map and compass, plan a route, as if from a combat vehicle. In front of them is a layout of the polygon, on which the lights are marked military units- their own and others. Cadets command their scouts, perform a training task.

Professional language should be concise and understandable to subordinates. "Brevity is the sister of talent, but here it is in military terms," ​​says Zhukov. "As the task is set, so it will be accomplished."

A set of equipment created at the department helps future commanders to develop their skills. It allows you to track and direct scouts operating at the training ground right from here. Video and photo images are transmitted to two monitors from drones, and the commander manages the situation "in the field" at the computer. This development is the know-how of the department.

"But the fact is that when the war starts, all these systems will be turned off," says Ozherelyev, "and then the scouts will have to rely on themselves, a map, a compass and personal weapons."

Weeks in the fields

Cadets are taught to survive in any conditions. They must be able not only to make fire without matches, but also to feed themselves, at least somewhere - in the taiga or the desert. Therefore, scouts know, for example, how to handle snakes and how to eat them.

But trophy food and drink (unlike weapons) is strictly forbidden for scouts to use - they can be specially poisoned.

Second-year cadet Denis Grishaev admits that he has not tried the kite yet. "We are not taught to eat snakes (in practice), we are trained so that if there is a need, we could do it," he says.

And to the question: "What else are they preparing for?", he simply answers: "To defend the Motherland."

In the Grishaev family, three generations of men are military men, so the example was always before my eyes. He chose the Novosibirsk university because his uncle, a military intelligence officer, said that both in the service in Afghanistan and after "in civilian life" the knowledge and the character that he had brought up in a military school were useful to him.

Denis already feels this upbringing. "You like learning, you discover in yourself something that you would never have known about yourself. Combat training is constant field trips, night skydiving, daytime, protracted. When you live in the fields for a week, willpower is tempered here, a core inherent in the military appears ".

Historical reference:
The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School was founded on June 1, 1967 as the Higher Military-Political Combined Arms School (NVVPOU) for the training of officers-political workers of the company level. The first recruitment of cadets was carried out on the basis of the training center of the Omsk Higher Combined Arms Command School. The school was housed in a picturesque place in Novosibirsk - Akademgorodok, known in our country and around the world as the center of the Siberian branch Russian Academy Sciences. The only building that housed the entire school was the building of the Physics and Mathematics School (now Educational Building No. 1). On July 1, 1992, the NVVPOU was re-profiled into the Higher Combined Arms Command School (NVOKU). He was entrusted with the task of training platoon commanders of motorized rifle troops and military intelligence, and since 1994, with the transfer of a special intelligence battalion from the Ryazan VVDKU, officers for special intelligence units. In 1998, NVOKU was renamed into NVI, and in 2005 - into the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in connection with the ongoing reform of military education in the Armed Forces. The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School is currently the only educational institution in the Ground Forces that trains specialists in four diverse profiles: officers of special intelligence units, commanders of reconnaissance platoons, commanders of motorized rifle platoons (the last intake was made in 2001) and, starting from 2002 - deputy company commanders for educational work. Today, the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School occupies one of the leading places among the universities of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Educational buildings and departments are equipped with modern equipment, computers, simulators. The formation of military knowledge and practical skills among cadets begins from the first day of entering the institute, at field trips and classes. Shooting out small arms, driving combat vehicles is carried out in the training center of the school, firing from infantry fighting vehicles - at the military training ground, and parachuting - at the base of the brigade special purpose. Cadets are also taught humanitarian, socio-economic, natural science and general technical disciplines, including the history of the Fatherland, cultural studies, philosophy, political science, jurisprudence, economics, sociology, psychology and pedagogy, higher mathematics and computer technology, foreign languages.
A mandatory form of training is a military internship, during which senior students test their knowledge and skills in practice. School graduates can manage units in any type of combat, shoot from all types of small arms, drive combat and transport vehicles, train and educate subordinates, organize the daily activities of units. Educational process requires maximum effort from cadets. According to the results of reviews on graduates of NVVKU recent years, more than half of them took or are taking part in hostilities in Chechnya, in Tajikistan, as part of peacekeeping forces in Yugoslavia and other hot spots, most of them were awarded orders and medals. For about 40 years, the university has been producing comprehensively developed, cultured, physically strong officers capable of performing any tasks both while serving in the army and in civilian life. Over the years, 22 graduates of the school have been awarded the titles of Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of Russia, and every fourth graduate has been awarded state awards. Being a cadet today, and then an officer - a graduate of the Novosibirsk Military School - is hard male work and a great honor, which a young man is obliged to do a lot.

One of the main non-civilian institutions of the country remains the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, which annually graduates a large number of professionals in the relevant field. Entering a university is quite simple, the main thing is a great desire to become a military man and defend your country.

History of the university

What is the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, when was it founded, who teaches there and what specialties can you get - these are the questions that concern potential applicants. The university was founded in June 1967 and still occupies a high position among all military institutions in the country.

At the time of its formation, it was called the Novosibirsk Higher Military-Political Combined Arms School, it was here that deputy commanders were trained, who were supposed to be responsible for the political unit in the Airborne Forces, ground forces and special forces of the GRU General Staff. The first cadets were recruited in Omsk, on the basis of the local combined arms school, in total at the time of opening there were 11 departments.

In 1992, the school was reoriented, and now it began to train military intelligence officers, and in 2004 the university received a new name - the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, and retains it to this day, continuing to actively train students.

University students and their feedback

The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, reviews of which have spread throughout Russia, is the only military university in the country that trains military intelligence officers. Over the almost 50-year history, the school has graduated more than 17 thousand students who took part in the hostilities that took place in South Ossetia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, participated in peacekeeping operations, etc.

More than 20 graduates of the university were awarded high awards from the government of the Russian Federation, including the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. All graduates and students note the high qualification of university teachers, their perseverance in an effort to transfer their skills and abilities, as well as their responsiveness and readiness to always come to the rescue.

Some graduates still consult with teachers of the school on various professional issues, they note that teachers are always aware of all the latest innovations, which is good news. Reviews about the school are purely positive, graduates periodically look at the university and participate in its festive events.

University specialties

Of course, before entering the student must study the specialty. The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, as of 2015, offers only four options to its potential students. Four specialties belong to the first two - the use of military intelligence units, the second - the use

Both areas are associated with personnel management, in this case the military. Thus, it is NVVKU that trains future officers who will be able to make decisions and organize the work of their subordinates even in the most difficult situations. In the period from 1967 to 2007, the school had five specialties, but now their number has been significantly reduced.

Some disciplines from closed specialties have become part of the current ones, but military sociology is now no longer in the university, and the subject is studied only within the framework of standard general professional disciplines. The decision to close this specialty was made due to low demand for it.

After graduation, a graduate can receive one of four specialties - “reconnaissance platoon commander”, “personnel management specialist (intelligence)”, “platoon commander”, “personnel management specialist (motorized rifle units)”. All these and on the "citizen".

University departments
