TASKS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENTS OF OPERATIONAL- TERRITORIAL ASSOCIATIONS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE AS SUBJECTS OF ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

The article emphasizes that the activities of any public authority consist of a
system of interrelated tasks, some of which, the most fundamental, organically
arise from state policy and are defined at the regulatory and legal level, and some
reflect the main trends in the development of society and the state, the latest
digital and technological achievements of mankind, including crisis challenges
facing the state, in particular epidemics (pandemics), emergencies and martial
law.
It is argued that the basis of the tasks of ensuring national security are
combat tasks, which become a tactical tool for their implementation in the
conditions of active hostilities. The tasks of ensuring national security determine
the goals and scope of combat tasks, forming the ideological, organizational,
regulatory and legal foundations of their implementation, determining their
vocation in view of a comprehensive vision of the main threats to political,
military, economic and information security. It is noted that the specifics of the
implementation of tasks to ensure national security are closely related to the
context within which they are directly implemented. This context is formed by the
dynamics of hostilities, the foreign policy component, as well as current economic
and financial problems.
It is emphasized that, given the outlined provisions, the leading tasks of the
departments of the operational-territorial formations of the National Guard of
Ukraine as subjects of ensuring national security, which were especially relevant
in the conditions of a full-scale invasion, should include: protection of state
sovereignty and territorial integrity; protection of critical infrastructure;
operational and combat training of military personnel; international cooperation
in the field of ensuring national security.
