Letter category for selection of suitability for military service. What does fitness category “A” mean on a military ID?
(click to open)
First of all, these include persons who are unable to perform military service due to health problems. To determine the ability of citizens, based on their health status, to perform military service, to undergo it in certain branches, types of troops in specific military specialties, fitness categories for military service, the decoding of which is given in the Federal Law. Later in the article we will look at the 2017 eligibility categories in more detail.
Categories of suitability for military service: determination procedure
Finally, appeal the conclusion regarding the category of fitness for military service in court. It should be noted that the judicial procedure does not exclude the conduct of an independent military medical examination during the trial. When a person who has been given a deferment from conscription remains subject to conscription at the time of its expiration, he is called for a medical examination in the general manner. Based on its results, a change in the category of fitness for military service is also allowed.
Russian citizens who have reached the age of 27 years and/or are in the reserve have the right to undergo repeated medical examinations. They are carried out by military commissariats. Based on the results of the examination, it is possible to change the fitness group for military service determined earlier. To change it, you need to do the following:
- If you disagree with a certain degree of suitability, undergo an independent military medical examination;
- File a judicial complaint against the conclusion with approval of a certain category of fitness for military service;
- Pass a medical examination related to admission to;
- Submit a written appeal to the head of the military commissariat department. It must contain a request to schedule a second medical examination. Here it is necessary to describe the changes that have occurred in the state of health. They must provide grounds for revising the conclusions of the military medical commission. This can be confirmed by medical documents attached to the application obtained as a result of a new examination.
Interesting
Cancellation of the mandatory re-examination of persons who were previously recognized as partially fit for military service is not considered a basis for refusal to order a re-examination. In any case, a citizen who is recognized as partially fit and enlisted in the reserve in this regard has the right to a re-examination, as a result of which it is possible to change his category of fitness for military service. This conclusion follows, in particular, from the practice of judicial disputes.
If a refusal is received regarding a referral for a second medical examination, the citizen has the right to appeal it. An appeal is made in court if a person believes that there are actions (inactions) or decisions that violate his freedoms and rights. Such a complaint is considered in the standard manner. Based on the results of the hearing, the claims of the complaint may be satisfied.

This is exactly what this article will talk about. Here you will find answers to many questions asked by conscripts and their parents, girlfriends or wives.
What does it mean?
So, you have passed the mandatory medical commission and the doctors have assigned you category “B”. What does it mean? Simply put, you will not serve in the army in peacetime. You won’t have to wear an uncomfortable uniform for a whole year, follow orders from officers, and get homesick. As you lived in civilian life, so will you. And no one has the right to call you.
But in case of war, you will be drafted, just like those who received categories “A” and “B”. But you don't have to run to the front with a machine gun. You will have safer tasks, for example, helping in medical units, warehouses, factories. You can forget about the war zone forever.
Now you have learned what “limitedly fit for military service” means. But for a conscript to be assigned this category, there must be compelling reasons.
What diseases should there be?
if you have chronic diseases that cannot be cured by anything, then you can be, although not one hundred, but seventy percent sure that you will not be called up. But remember that those who do not have acute illnesses are also accepted into the ranks of the armed forces.
What diseases fall into category “B” (limitedly fit for military service)? Let's get a look:
- syphilis (primary, secondary, latent);
- tuberculosis of non-pulmonary organs and tissues;
- various mycoses, candidiasis;
- benign neoplasms with minor disorders;
- slowly progressing blood diseases;
- goiter that interferes with wearing a uniform;
- diseases of the endocrine system;
- moderate mental illnesses of various nature;
- illnesses nervous system including injuries;
- eye diseases;
- heart diseases;
- haemorrhoids;
- ENT diseases;
- illnesses respiratory system, including bronchial asthma;
- diseases of the digestive system and the absence of more than 10 teeth;
- various skin diseases;
- ailments of joints and cartilage;
- diseases of the spine;
- limb defects;
- flat feet;
- diseases of the genitourinary system;
- lack of height and weight.
Alternative service: is it possible?
And if a young man really wants to serve, does he have a chance? On the one hand, the doctors’ conclusion can be challenged. But if there is a certain risk, then no arguments will help you, you will have to accept it.
You need to remember one more feature. Anyone who is limitedly fit for military service cannot serve under a contract. On the other hand, doctors may offer conscripts treatment for an illness. ABOUT civil service(Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, Ministry of Emergency Situations) can be forgotten. Only healthy children are accepted into such structures. And if you dream of joining the army, then take care of your body in advance.
What if the military registration and enlistment office changes its mind?
Have you already received a military ID marked “limited validity”? Then you will not have to wait for a summons or a second medical examination. Neither at twenty, nor at twenty-five, nor at more than thirty will the military registration and enlistment office bother you.
Of course, these words are valid only in times of peace and while the present law is in force. And it, as a rule, undergoes noticeable changes from time to time. These are the prospects for those who are limitedly fit for military service, which means they do not serve in peacetime.
It is worth adding that having a disability definitely exempts you from military service.
Work in enterprises
If you are applying for a job in an ordinary organization, for example, as a system administrator or manager, then your military ID will probably not affect your employment in any way. But if you plan to go to a civil-military or military organization, then passing army service may be required. But, fortunately, this is not the case everywhere. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the fate of someone who is limitedly fit for military service.
Category “B” is good news for those who do not want to serve in the army. You can be sure that there will be no summons from the military registration and enlistment office, and there should be no problems with employment. But if, on the contrary, you dream of being a military man, when you have two options: challenge the diagnosis right in the doctor’s office or start treating chronic diseases in advance.
In order to carry out the organized conscription of people of military age for compulsory military service, acceptance for contract service or joining the military educational establishments established and legally enshrined fitness category for military service, following which the ability is determined young man serve in the Armed Forces in general and, in particular, serve in certain types and branches of the military.

1 / 2
“B” - fit for military service with minor restrictions. During a medical examination, the conscript was found to have health difficulties, which, however, do not prevent conscription for military service (there are many examples, for example, myopia of less than 6 diopters).
Category "B"
“B” - limited fit for military service. The conscript receives an exemption from conscription in peacetime and is enlisted in the reserves. IN war time subject to conscription to staff units of the 2nd line. Receives a military registration specialty (MRS) in a civilian specialty.
Category "G"
"G" - temporarily unfit for military service. Any health disorder or injury (bone fracture, dystrophy or excessive obesity, etc.), giving hope for get well soon. A deferment from conscription under this fitness category can be given for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of a year. However, it is possible to extend this deferment until the conscript reaches military age. It often happens that after several such delays, category B is assigned.
Category "D"
"D" - not fit for military service. This category exempts you from conscription and from military service in general. Conscripts with this category are issued a military ID, which indicates absolute unfitness. In addition, a corresponding stamp is placed in the passport.
Restrictions on further professional activities related to the conscript’s fitness category
If a citizen has received fitness categories B or D, there may be restrictions when applying for a job in the future. For example, when trying to get a job in organizations such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The situation has changed a little with the introduction of new provisions “On military medical examination” in terms of the fact that a repeated medical examination of a citizen is now provided in connection with a change in his state of health, which previously had a fitness category of B-limited-fit. In cases of successful completion of the repeated medical examination, a mark is made on the military ID, where the new category fitness for military service A-fit, or B-fit with minor restrictions. Thus, restrictions can be partially lifted when recruiting for service in the law enforcement agencies and departments listed above. But this does not mean at all that military medical commissions of departments will not request data from military commissariats for what reason this or that citizen was exempted from military service upon conscription. The requested data will also be taken into account when making a decision on the issue of declaring a candidate fit or unfit for service in a particular law enforcement agency.
There are also a number of myths about the ban on obtaining a driver's license. However, most often only serious illnesses musculoskeletal system, diseases of the sensory organs, mental illnesses interfere with obtaining a driver's license, for example, heart disease is rarely taken into account by the medical commission when determining the possibility of obtaining a driver's license. However, some diseases may not prevent you from obtaining a driver's license in general, but from obtaining a driver's license with a separate category or the right to engage in professional activity in this area. For example, drive a bus or taxi.
From the history
Israel
- 97 - absolutely healthy. Fit for service in all combat units, including “elite”
- 82 - mild problem (for example, color blindness). Fit for service in combat units
- 77 - chronic runny nose or Republic of Belarus
- "G" - good.
- "GO" - suitable with restrictions.
- "NGM" - not fit for service in peacetime. Recognition of a conscript as unfit for military service is the basis for his release from conscription and enlistment in the reserve of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (Bel. Uzbek Forces of the Republic of Belarus) with the rank of "private" without military service.
- “NGI” - not fit for military service with exclusion from military registration.
- “VN” - temporarily unfit for military service.
- "GNS" - fit for military service outside the ranks in peacetime.
- "IND" - category of suitability for military service, military service in the Armed Forces, branch of the armed forces and military formation, suitability for certain military specialties, for admission to military educational institutions, determined individually.
- “NG” - not fit for service
- When distributing conscripts into units for further service, fitness categories, especially B1-B4, are very often not taken into account. The fighters are distributed according to the principle of personnel shortage.
- Until 2005, conscripts with category “B” were required to undergo re-examination every 3 years. From January 1, 2005, mandatory re-examination was canceled (based on the RF PP No. 886 of December 31, 2004)
- There are a lot of legal companies and agencies in Russia that, for money, help conscripts get exempt from conscription and military service (most often this is the collection of necessary medical documents and assistance in communicating with military registration and enlistment office employees).
The fitness category is a parameter that determines whether a particular citizen has certain restrictions during military service. In total, the law identifies five main categories of fitness, which are designated by the first five letters of the Russian alphabet - A, B, C, D and D. Moreover, categories B, D and D represent situations where a young person, for health reasons, is constantly or temporarily cannot be called up for military service in peacetime. Thus, only holders of categories A and B are subject to conscription.
Category B3
Categories A and B, subject to conscription, are, in turn, divided into several subcategories, each of which more accurately reflects the health status of the young man and the degree of his fitness to participate in military service. Thus, the most “universal” is category A, including its subcategories A1 and A2, representatives of which can participate in all military events with virtually no restrictions.The official formulation of health status corresponding to category B, which is contained in the law, states that a young person belonging to this category is “fit for military service with minor restrictions.” At the same time, within category B there are four subcategories, each of which determines the list of types of troops to which a conscript can be sent.
Thus, category B3 implies that such a conscript can be sent to serve in guard units, anti-aircraft missile units or other units internal troops Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In addition, a young man may be sent to serve in rocket troops, however, there are certain restrictions regarding the functions that he can perform: he can serve there as a driver or crew member of an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), launcher or an armored personnel carrier. Finally, another option for such a conscript to serve is chemical units, where he can serve as a specialist. responsible for refueling and storing fuel.

Tip 2: What are the categories of fitness for military service in 2019?
There are five categories of fitness for military service. Whether a citizen is subject to conscription or not depends on what category the conscript will fall into after passing a medical examination.

- Computer with internet connection.
Instructions
Fitness category B. A citizen belonging to this category may be called up for military service, but with some restrictions on the branch of service. The number next to the category serves as an indication of which branch of the military a citizen is qualified for. So, there are categories B1 - parts special purpose, airborne and air assault units, border troops and marine units. Category B2 provides for service on submarines, tank, crew members artillery installations, engineering machines. Category B3 - these are citizens subject to service as crews of combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers, launch vehicles rocket launchers. This subgroup also includes employees in guard units and other parts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as chemical units as fuel refueling and storage specialists. In addition, citizens belonging to category B3 can serve in anti-aircraft missile units. Category B4 provides for service as military security and defense specialists missile systems and special structures, radio technical units, as well as other parts of the RF Armed Forces.
The desire of conscripts to serve in certain troops, unfortunately, is not always the reason for the distribution of future fighters. Much attention in this process is paid to the health category that was assigned to the young man by the medical board.
Health categories
Before deciding which category of troops are recruited, let’s briefly analyze them:
- A - conscription, fit for service;
- B - conscription, suitability with minor restrictions;
- B - exemption, limited validity;
- G - deferment, temporarily unfit;
- D - complete exemption, the citizen is not fit for military service.
If doctors of different profiles have given a conscript different values of fitness for service, say A3, B1, B4, then to judge with which category they are recruiting for which troops, one should use the lowest one - B4.
The values of the degree of suitability to some extent affect the region where the conscript will serve. If he is allergic to spring flowers, then most likely he will have to serve in the north, and if chronic acute respiratory infections or bronchitis are detected, then the conscript will be sent to serve in warmer climes.
In addition to diseases and pathologies that determine the fitness category (we will describe them all in detail below), each branch of the military (especially the most prestigious) has additional requirements for a young man - a certain height, weight, hearing, visual acuity.
Category "A"
A group to which a very small percentage of conscripts belong (which troops are recruited into with categories A1, A2, etc. - the next point). Guys who don't have (or don't have a strong influence on) get into this category. general state) pathologies and diseases:
Subcategories "A"
The group is divided into three categories - the lower the number, the fewer restrictions on distribution to the troops:
A1. The conscript has no signs of obesity or dystrophy, has acute hearing (6/6 m), no limitations in the angle of vision, or deviations in color sensitivity. Height ranges from 170-185 cm, weight no more than 90 kg.
Which troops are recruited with category A1: airborne, Marines, air assault, border, special purpose.
What troops are accepted into with category A2? For service on surface and underwater ships in the absence of obesity, dystrophy, vision problems, a high rate of audibility of whispered speech, and height up to 185 cm.
A young man can also get into service as a driver or crew member of a tank, self-propelled guns, or engineering vehicles based on tractors. The conscript's height must be up to 175 cm, he should not have problems with weight or vision; for crew members, hearing acuity indicators can be 1/4 or 3/3.
A3. The young man has been diagnosed with subtle vision problems (dichromasia must be absent). Also, the conscript does not have obesity, dystrophy, must have good hearing acuity (5/5, 6/6), not too high growth(up to 180 cm).
Troops: missile, anti-aircraft gunners, chemical units, guard units, Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, drivers and crew of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers.
A4. The conscript has been diagnosed with impaired visual acuity, for example, myopia. The remaining indicators of health requirements are the same as in A3. Guys who fall into this category are assigned to branches of the military not named above.
Category "B"
This category is determined for most future fighters. The guys are fully fit for service, but with restrictions in some branches of the military. It is prescribed due to the presence of diseases and pathologies that do not pose a threat to life and health (for example, advanced myopia).
As practice shows, most young people with categories B1-B4 have little chance of getting into special forces (SN VV Ministry of Internal Affairs, SPN GRU), Airborne Forces, naval personnel, or the Marine Corps.
- strategic missiles;
- aerospace defense (secondary tasks);
- ground: motorized rifle (by the way, the question very often comes up: “What category do they recruit into motorized rifle troops?”), tank, artillery and missile forces, air defense of the ground forces;
- Navy: coastal only;
- Air Force: radio engineering, anti-aircraft missile, special aviation, military transport, army, long-range, front-line aviation (secondary tasks - without participation in flights);
- special forces: automobile, engineering, communications, electronic warfare, biological, radiation, chemical defense, railway (which category are taken into railway troops- more often it is B4).
Categories "B", "G", "D"
Let's look at what the remaining categories mean.
Group "B". A conscript with this category is exempt from military service during peacetime and is enlisted in the reserves. However, it will be suitable for conscription in wartime - for the recruitment of a set of second-stage units.
Group "G". This is temporary unfitness for military service. The cause may be a serious health disorder or injury, in particular obesity, dystrophy, or fractures. The duration of the deferment is 6-12 months. If a draftee has several deferments, he will probably end up with a B. There is a deferment until reaching the age of non-conscription.
Group "D". The conscript is absolutely exempt from military service. The military ID confirms complete unfitness. Group “D” is marked with a special stamp in the young man’s passport.
Additional requirements
Speaking about which category of troops are taken into which, it is necessary to touch upon the special requirements for fighters of individual troops:
- Security units, guards, Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Height and weight: 155 (46-55 kg) - 180 cm (78-100 kg), vision not worse than 0.5/0.1.
- Naval composition of the fleet. Height and weight: 150 (42-52 kg) - 185 cm (67-94 kg), vision not worse than 0.5/0.4.
- Special units, airborne forces, attack aircraft, marines. Height and weight: 170 (53-66 kg) - 185 cm (67-94 kg), vision not worse than 0.6/0.6.
Also, to serve in all of the listed troops, good hearing is required - 6/6.
Urgent service is not possible on submarine fleet, in the border troops. It is open only to contract workers.
Which category of troops are recruited into - this question becomes more and more relevant for each conscription. Naturally, a certain category of fitness of a young man is the decisive moment in the distribution, but, as practice shows, it sometimes resembles Russian roulette - the decision can be quite unexpected for the conscript.
