THE IMPORTANCE AND NECESSITY OF LAND-BASED MILITARY EQUIPMENT IN THE STATE BORDER GUARD

Abstract

The ability of State Border Guard (henceforth - SBG) personnel to respond swiftly, utilizing all available SBG resources to counter any threats at the national border, is a critical aspect of ensuring state security. In modern times, the SBG collaborates closely with the National Armed Forces (henceforth - NAF), engaging SBG personnel in joint training and providing them with necessary equipment. This cooperation is essential as, during a state of emergency or wartime, the SBG integrates into the NAF. To foster stronger collaboration between the personnel of these two state institutions, SBG officers undergo extensive familiarization with NAF combat tactics, communication systems, firearms, and military equipment, with particular emphasis on land-based military vehicles. The use of military equipment in border security operations would enhance border guards' familiarity with the fundamental principles of operating and managing such technology, which would be beneficial in broader national defense efforts. One of the primary features of military equipment is its capability to be armed, coupled with increased off-road mobility and high durability. These characteristics are highly relevant to the SBG, as its personnel often need to traverse terrain where conventional roads are absent.
The purpose of the study: Investigate and analyze the types of military equipment and the possibilities of their use in the provision of border surveillance.
Main tasks:
1. Study the land military equipment at the disposal of NAF;
2. To analyze which of the NAF military equipment can be used in ensuring the security of the state border;
3. To express proposals on what kind of military equipment could be used in observing the regimes of the state border.
Research methods:
1. Empirical research method (interview);
2. Qualitative research method (situation analysis);
3. Method of logical analysis.
