Stages of mobilization: what do they mean.

During the general mobilization, not all those liable for military service are called up. The required number of conscripts should be determined by the General Staff and the RNBO.

Mobilization is carried out in four stages (waves, queues), which are introduced in accordance with the needs and capabilities during active hostilities.

During the first stage of the operational reserve, former military men under 40 years of age who have combat experience of serving in the army under a contract or during one of the previous waves of mobilization (served in the ATO / JFO) are subject to conscription.

In the second stage of the operational reserve, military personnel who served in the military until 2014 or served under a contract are called up..

Mobilization reserve - citizens liable for military service who graduated from the military departments of higher educational institutions as reserve officers and were not called up at the previous stages of mobilization.

Public reserve - citizens who do not have age and physical restrictions on conscription for military service and can be recruited to recruit the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations only in a special period.

In Ukraine, many men and women volunteer for the army to defend their country.. Thus, the procedure by which volunteers can obtain the status of a participant in hostilities was recently approved..
