Generalized model of monetary support systems for servicemen of the leading NATO countries

Introduction. A difficult military-political situation in the world, caused by Russian aggression, forces us to expand the range of issues of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to NATO standards, in particular, to continue the process of improving the system of monetary support for servicemen.
Problem Statement. The main drawback of the structure of the current pay for servicemen is the suboptimal ratio of basic and additional types of payments. There is a need to develop a promising model of monetary support for servicemen, close to the provisions of the national wage system in Ukraine and NATO principles.
Purpose Comparative analysis of models of monetary support systems for servicemen of the leading NATO member countries and Ukraine for the further formation of a promising model of the monetary support system for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Methods. Based on general scientific methods of scientific knowledge, a system-structural and comparative analysis of models of monetary support for servicemen of the leading NATO member countries and Ukraine was carried out. The methodology of the system-logical approach was applied.
Results. Based on a comparative analysis, the functional components of monetary support systems for servicemen of a number of leading NATO member countries were determined. It has been established that these systems are based on a base salary that takes into account military rank, length of service and the corresponding rank of monetary support of the serviceman and additional payments. Based on the analysis, common features were established and a generalized model of monetary support systems for servicemen of the leading NATO countries was constructed.
Conclusions. The study showed that the generalized model of monetary support systems for servicemen of NATO countries contains two components: a basic part and additional payments, formed according to the scheme “payment for military rank in accordance with the level of responsibility for the position - payment for length of service in accordance with military rank - additional payments and allowances for skills and conditions of service,” which is advisable to apply when developing a system of monetary support for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
