Abstract

Analyzed the results of the survey and inspection of about 75 000 conscripts who came to the acquisition of forces and troops of the fleet in terms of the Kola Polar region in 2001-2010. Cases of identified mental disorders in the number of young recruits in the period of examination by military medical committee designated as the primary dysaptation, and later--as delayed. The authors concluded that at present time we can expect the total number of recruits 4.45% of persons with mental dysaptation, including 0.52% of the primary and 3.93% with delayed. Over the last 10 years, an average of 4.45% of conscripts who came to the acquisition of forces (troops) of the Northern Fleet, dismissed by reason of mental dysaptation. The main contribution to the structure of the causes of limited recognition of the young recruits fit and unfit for military service were neurotic disorders and personality pathology. The authors suggest a specific position on a number of documents that need proof in order to improve the quality of maintenance training and combat activities of troops and naval forces.
