MAIN TENDENCIES OF THE INCIDENCE OF MILITARY SERVING WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Currently, the role and influence of women in society is increasing. Women successfully master traditionally male professions, including military service. In terms of social norms, military activity has always been considered a masculine-labeled professional environment. Now, thanks in large part to the greater legal emancipation of women, the scope of social norms is expanding. Nowadays, the armies of many foreign countries have in their ranks up to 15% of women’s military personnel [2]. It is important to note that they occupy a wide range of posts related not only to the provision of troops, but also to the direct conduct of hostilities. In the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the number of women military personnel is more than 10% of the total [3]. There are reasons to say that this figure will grow steadily. So, the list of military universities and the list of specialties available for women is expanding significantly every year. At the time of 2020, 10 military institutions of higher military education, including the Military Medical Academy. CM. Kirov will carry out a set of girls [4]. Many components of the environment and professional extreme environment can pose a threat to the health of female military personnel, such as chronic psychological stress, increased physical exertion, exposure to noise, vibration, temperature changes, ionizing radiation, sharp fluctuations in altitude and atmospheric pressure, which is often a consequence of military-professional activity, especially when performing tasks in the field. Therefore, an additional task for the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to identify the existing problems of providing medical assistance to women military personnel and preventing their incidence, as well as maintaining reproductive health, the relevance of which is emphasized by the state demographic situation.
