Military personnel with a master’s degree and at least 2 years of leadership experience in civilian life can be appointed to various positions, including the rank of colonel. This was announced by Kateryna Chernogorenko, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization.
In this way, she commented on the changes, which provide for the simplification of the mechanism of obtaining officer ranks for soldiers and sergeants with combat experience.
Kateryna Chernogorenko noted that an officer rank will be assigned simultaneously with the appointment.
For this, servicemen no longer need to undergo a military training course under the officer training program and do not need to enter into a contract for military service.
“Why is it important? Many strong specialists were mobilized to the army. After vast experience in management positions. After dozens of implemented projects. Previously, without an officer’s education, they could only hold soldier positions. We must replenish the army with professional personnel and give managers with great experience all the opportunities for development. The army must be technological and modern,” explained Kateryna Chernogorenko.
As ArmiyaInform reported, on December 31, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees that provide for the simplification of the mechanism for obtaining officer ranks for soldiers and sergeants with combat experience.
