Transfer to another military unit: how to do it?

Do you want to transfer to another military unit but don't know where to start? This question often worries many servicemen, as the transfer procedure is clearly regulated by Ukrainian legislation. A proper understanding of your rights and responsibilities during the transfer is key to successfully resolving this issue.

A transfer to another unit may be necessary for various reasons. It could be related to personal circumstances, health, service needs, or a desire to change the location of service. It is important to know the legitimate grounds for transfer, how to properly prepare your application, and what documents are required to support your request.

Grounds for transfer

There are several main grounds for requesting a transfer to another military unit. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

1. Family circumstances: A transfer may be necessary if the serviceman has complex family circumstances, such as the need to care for a child or other relatives, a serious illness in the family, or other important situations requiring their presence at home.
2. Health condition: A transfer may also be required due to the need for treatment or rehabilitation after injuries or illness. In this case, it is important to provide medical documents confirming the need for transfer.
3. Service needs: If the serviceman has a specialization needed by another unit or if the command decides that their service is required in a different location, the transfer may be necessary for effective performance of combat tasks.
4. Desire to change the place of service: Sometimes servicemen wish to change the place of service for personal reasons, such as the desire to be closer to home or other factors affecting comfort and emotional well-being.

For each of these reasons, there are specific requirements for documents and procedures. Therefore, it is important to prepare the application according to the requirements of the law and provide all necessary supporting documents.

The transfer process

The transfer process is regulated by internal instructions and regulations that apply in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Preparing and submitting an application is the first important step towards a successful transfer.

To transfer, you need to complete several steps:

1. Preparing the application: The application must be written to the commander of the military unit where you are serving. It is important to specify the reason for the transfer and attach all documents supporting your need for transfer.
2. Submitting the application: The application is submitted directly to the unit commander. If the transfer involves changing units located in another city or region, additional documents or confirmation of the need for the transfer may be required.
3. Reviewing the application: The unit commander must review your application, check the grounds for transfer, and make the appropriate decision. If necessary, a medical commission or a commission to evaluate the circumstances of the transfer may be appointed.
4. Document preparation: If the decision is positive, an order for the transfer will be issued based on your application. All documents must be properly prepared.
