On the issue of the essence of the National Guard of Ukraine as a component of the security and defense sector
Abstract
The article emphasizes that the Ukrainian military has gone through a long path of national liberation struggle, Cossack uprisings, liberation movements, which allowed at the current stage of development of statehood in Ukraine to form effective military and law enforcement formations and bodies. In modern conditions, we can talk not only about separate paramilitary formations united by a common goal and a talented commander, as was the case in Cossack times, but also about deeper management ties, coordinated systems of bodies and units responsible for organizing the service, working with personnel, operational and combat training, aviation management, organizing communications and technical support of information systems, as well as cybersecurity.
It is determined that administrative and legal regulation is tasked with balancing the needs of all components of the security and defense sector, including by creating organizational, managerial and regulatory frameworks for involving the public in both democratic civilian control and volunteer, educational activities in bodies and units, etc. It is considered that the Doctrine of the National Guard of Ukraine forms the basis of the author’s understanding of the latter as a military formation with law enforcement functions, the basis of whose activities are unique tactics, techniques, methods, administrative procedures that allow the command, military personnel and civilian personnel to perform the tasks assigned to them, including those associated with a risk to life and health, and ensure institutional stability and high public trust.
