Abstract

Issues of psychophysiological and medical support of military women in the Armed Forces of Russia and foreign countries at the present stage are addressed. Most modern armies have 1-3 % of females among soldiers. World experience shows that without reducing readiness and combat capability, percentage of women in the Army and Navy may reach 11 %. In the power structures of Russia, there were up to 500 thousand military women, in the Ministry of Defense - about 90 thousand. Fruitful opportunities to improve women''s military service are suggested. Attention is focused on the fact that gender issues with regard to women''s military contingent of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the research work for military service optimization in peacetime and wartime have a great socio-cultural and economic value, making a significant contribution to the economy and improving the country''s defense. It is proposed to create a research center (department, laboratory) for studying psycho-physiological problems of professional activity of military women on the basis of S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy.
