The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has clarified the meaning of a new designation appearing in the Reserve+ app, which is used by military reservists. This designation, labeled “ВОС‑999. Requires Basic Military Training (БЗВП),” has raised questions among users regarding its implications.
The designation indicates that the individual has not completed military service or training exercises, and therefore lacks a recorded military specialty. According to official explanations from the Ministry, this code aligns with the provisions of the Ministry of Defense’s Order No. 317 and Law No. 27 on Military Duty and Military Service.
Essentially, the ВОС 999 status signifies that the individual does not have verified military experience. In the event of mobilization, they would not be deployed directly to combat. This status serves as an informational marker, indicating a need for specialized training rather than an immediate requirement for action.
In cases where individuals have previously served or completed military training, but this information has not been updated in the electronic registry, the ВОС 999 designation may appear incorrectly. Those affected are advised to contact their local recruitment and social support center to rectify their records.
The app automatically updates military status data. If an individual has no recorded military experience, the system displays the ВОС 999097 message, indicating “zero” experience. This may appear alongside the БЗВП designation and the term “reservist.” However, this does not automatically trigger a call to training.
This status is primarily used to assess the number of reservists who may require basic training in the event of mobilization. Therefore, the ВОС 999 designation in the Reserve+ app simply reflects a lack of confirmed military training in the electronic registry and does not necessitate any immediate action from the individual, aside from potential verification of their records.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has explained the ВОС 999 designation in the Reserve+ app, clarifying that it indicates a lack of verified military experience and does not require immediate action from reservists. This status is intended for informational purposes only, reflecting the need for basic military training in case of mobilization.
