Numbers of military registration specialties. What is vus in a military ID and its decoding. Examples of designating a military specialty

For each citizen liable for military service, as well as military personnel, a special military ID is issued, which has a VUS number (Military Registration Specialty), indicating the mastered military specialty. Often such a number has the form of a digital and alphabetic encoding. Most often, it is assigned to a citizen on the basis of his existing education or on the basis of a mastered military profession during military service.

Why do you need a VUS?

Often, when hiring an employer, an employer requires a citizen liable for military service to present a military ID. If we are talking about the employment of a reserve officer, then he will only have a registration certificate in his hands. Based on such documentation, employees of the human resources department of a commercial structure carry out the following actions:

• Fill out a personal card for the employee;
• They take into account the data that is included in the citizen’s military registration document.

The code carries not only information about the specialty acquired by the citizen during his military service, but also certain data about his state of health. Information about a citizen’s illnesses in encrypted digital form is indicated on the military ID if he was declared unfit for military service.

Why are military specialties determined?

In the personal file of a citizen liable for military service, as well as in his military registration document, information about the military service is displayed. A military specialty is determined for each man registered with the military registration and enlistment office who has a certain profession (communications experts or medical workers).

A man can receive VUS in the following cases:

1. In the process of completing military service in the ranks of the Russian army;
2. Upon completion of training at an educational institution where there is a military department.

In some individual situations, a specialty may be assigned to a conscript when he is assigned to a military unit at a recruiting station. So, for example, if during the process of passing the draft board it is established that the conscript has a driver’s license that allows him to drive various vehicles, then he can be sent to a military unit as a driver. In this case, his documents will indicate the VUS code assigned to him.

VUS is located on page 11 in the military ID

In addition, the VUS code can be used in the process of keeping records of military personnel in the reserve, as well as when determining the health category and level of specialization in the process of applying a citizen to work. The military department must have information about the exact number of professionals that are in reserve. The military registration and enlistment office needs this data so that in the event of mobilization being announced, it will be possible to quickly assign people to the most suitable branches of the military.

It is also worth noting the fact that upon obtaining a certain specialty, you can count on getting into certain troops. In order to do this, it is enough to undergo special training and some tests. Almost all young men of pre-conscription age and high school students now undergo similar training.

Existing VUS job groups

In a military registration document belonging to a citizen, the military registration number is indicated in the format of a multi-digit digital encoding with an additional letter designation. When decrypted, such a code allows you to obtain the following information about a man:

• The troops in which the citizen served;
• Title of the position held;
• Name of military specialty.

There are several main groups of VUS:

1. Command. To get into this group, a person must have strong leadership and organizational skills;
2. Operators. People who have received a military profession in this category are often well versed in computer technology;
3. Signalmen. Military personnel with such a military service provide communication between military units. They must have a profession related to modern telecommunications technologies;
4. Drivers. The task of representatives of this group is to transport military equipment and people. To obtain such a VUS, you must have a driver’s license that allows you to drive various types of transport;
5. Special purposes. To get into this category you must have good health, as well as good physical fitness.

Code decoding method

To date, there is no separate open list with complete transcripts of the VUS. This information has confidential status. For this reason, only career officers of the Russian army have it. Moreover, each citizen liable for military service can find out his own military specialty in his military district commissariat. A person may need such information if it somehow affects his employment opportunities.

The first digits in the VUS code indicate the military profession:

• 100 – shooter;
• 101 – sniper;
• 106 – military intelligence;
• 998 suitable for military service, but did not undergo it;
• 999 – limited fit for military service, but does not have military training.

The list of VUS is divided into separate chapters. Each chapter has a number that partially or even completely repeats the first code. The following numbers indicate the specific position held by a person in the army. These data provide more comprehensive information about the citizen's military specialty. So, for example:

• 000 - without any position;
• 001 – battery specialist;
• 097 – deputy commander;
• 182 – commander;
• 220 – mechanic who services aircraft jet engines;
• 259 – driver and part-time mechanic;
• 673 – specialist in measuring land and elevation differences on the ground;
• 385 is an expert in demolition work that is carried out under water.

In general, decoding the VUS is a rather complex process. This is due to the fact that a certain combination of numbers denotes a specific military profession. The alphabetic symbol can complement the digital encoding and denotes special characteristics of the service:

• A - ground forces, as well as the coastal Navy;
• B – a specialist who works with missile equipment;
• D – representative of the airborne forces;
• K - representative of the composition of warships;
• M - Marines;
• P – internal troops;
• R - Border guards, FSP (border part of the FSB);
• T – military builder;
• E – member of the flight crew;
• C – Ministry of Emergency Situations and rescuers;
• F - Special Forces;
• X - reconnaissance.

Conscript training

An example of decoding some VUS

The full code designation VUS for some military professions is deciphered as follows:

1. 999000A – a citizen has the status of limited fitness in the absence of any military specialty;
2. 998000A - the citizen does not have any military specialty or military training, although he is fit for service in the army;
3. 837037A - assigned to those who have the profession of an electrician driver;
4. 600543A - such a VUS means that its owner is an operator of electronic computer equipment;
5. 121000 - applies to men who served in units and military signal units;
6. 620100 - construction and operation of buildings for special and general military purposes;
7. 021000 - commander of a motorized rifle platoon;
8. 100915A is a gunner position with the rank of private or sailor.

Results

Some specialties that were acquired by a citizen during military service can be used by him when finding a job. A number of professional skills that can be acquired in the modern army help to get a well-paid job and generally get settled in life.

The main activity of maintaining military records is the collection of data about a citizen liable for military service, which has information value for the armed forces when mobilization is announced. One can well imagine that it is almost impossible to distribute the large flow of conscripts according to the needs of military units. To avoid wasting valuable time, military registration documents, in particular the military ID, contain not only personal anthropometric data, but also information about the education received.

It is known that certain specialties are simply necessary for the army in wartime conditions, therefore their holders are under special attention from the accounting authorities, and the specialty itself (VUS) is entered in encrypted form in a personal file, personal card and military ID.

A military specialty can be obtained during military service, upon graduation from an educational institution with a military department, or in ordinary civilian life. One way or another, not only an officer, but also a private can have one of the specialties.

Decoding the record of military specialty

A specially designated column on the military ID contains a record of specialty, position and special characteristics. All this is subject to coding, as it is a military secret. Often citizens who have received a military ID take the initiative to decipher the records. This procedure is available for, you just need to understand the basic principle of recording encoding.

Information about the VUS consists of three parts. The first two parts are represented by combinations of three numbers, and the third part is written in the form of a letter. In a military ID, the first three digits indicate specialization, for example, VUS 999 indicates its absence. There is no need to remember all the VUS codes, because to find out what this or that combination means, just open the table with specialization encodings.

According to statistics, a significant proportion of citizens are sent to the reserve with VUS 998 or 999. They differ in that in the first case the citizen is fit for combat, and in the second case he has category “B”. Having a driver's license is considered a registration specialty number 838, and the well-known construction battalion will lead to the entry “166” being entered on the military ID.

The presence of a certain specialty directly indicates that the serviceman has the right to occupy the established position. For example, combination 097 codes the position of deputy platoon commander. If a private retired from the Armed Forces and did not hold a position, then the code “000” will be entered on the military ID.

If we consider the VUS encoding according to all the established rules, then a letter of the Russian alphabet must be added to the sequence of numbers. The letter "A" means service in the ground forces, "D" - in the Airborne Forces, and "C" - the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Finding out your personal service attribute is not difficult. To do this, you can enter the corresponding query in any search engine. Our task is to review VUS 999000a.

Decoding example

So, the entry “999000a” appeared on the military ID. First you need to decide what the first three numbers mean. It was not by chance that we gave an example with such code. He points out that the young man did not receive a specialty, at least one useful for the army, and moreover, he is also considered to have limited fitness. That is, with such an entry on his military ID, he will not be sent to attack the enemy, but will first be forced to acquire certain skills at organized training camps.

The next three zeros indicate that the person liable for military service has not held any position and cannot yet hold one. This is understandable, since without a specialty you will not be given a position. The letter means that the citizen will be recruited into the ground forces during mobilization. This encoding turns out to be more than sufficient.

All persons liable for military service and those serving under conscription or contract have a military ID with the obligatory column “VUS”, which indicates a military specialty. Most often it is indicated in the form of a code. It is awarded for certain merits or in accordance with the profession that the citizen received while studying at a technical school or university. How is the code designation deciphered? What specialties exist? We will answer these questions further.

Why is it necessary to determine military specialties?

Information about the military service is reflected in the military ID and personal file of the person liable for military service. It is assigned to all men who are registered as military personnel, as well as women who have certain professions (communication specialists or medical workers).

VUS can be obtained:

• during service;
• when receiving a diploma from a civilian university with a military department.

Sometimes specialties are awarded at the recruiting station at the time of assignment to a unit. For example, if a conscript has a driving license, he can be sent to a unit as a driver, and the documents indicate the code of the awarded military license.

VUS codes are used to keep records of people in the reserves, as well as to determine health group and specialization during employment. It is important for the military department to know how many and what kind of specialists are in the reserves, so that when mobilization is announced, they can quickly determine which troops to send citizens to.

In addition, obtaining a specific specialty allows you to serve in certain troops. To do this, you just need to undergo mandatory training, where you need to show your best side. All pre-conscripts, including high school and college students, take it.

What VUS can be found on a military ID? Job groups

The VUS is indicated in the document as a multi-digit number and an additional letter designation. In general this code means:

• type of army;
• job designation;
• specialization.

We will tell you how to decipher this data in the next section, but for now we will figure out what groups of positions all VUS are divided into.

Command

People with organizational skills can get a command position. As a rule, a code with it appears on a military ID for those who distinguished themselves during service. It is also assigned to people who have received the following professions after training:

• trainer;
• safety engineer;
• instructor in hand-to-hand combat, skydiving or tourism;
• Airport dispatch service specialist;
• educator;
• administrator.

Command positions are assigned to those who can be responsible for training soldiers in various aspects from psychological attitude to physical training. His responsibilities include comprehensive combat training of the unit. The command VUS can be hidden under the code 034097; this combination of numbers stands for deputy platoon commander in anti-aircraft missile forces.

Operators

The Russian army has a large amount of equipment in its arsenal. The equipment is regularly updated, but in any case an operator is needed to control it. He needs to be able to work with computer equipment, so those with civilian professions are appointed to operator positions:

• industrial and computer equipment adjuster;
• programmer;
• Computer and office equipment maintenance technician.

Even if a specialist with such a position did not serve in conscription (for example, he studied at an institute with a military department), during general mobilization he will be made an operator of an artillery installation or other modern equipment. It is important that, in addition to a suitable specialty, a person has the following qualities:

• responsibility;
• ability to assess the situation;
• the ability to make informed decisions based on the current situation.

Signalmen

Workers who are responsible for communication between departments must be able to work with all possible modern communications. They are most often used:

• satellite connection;
• telephony;
• telecode;
• telegraph.

Most often, the position of a communications specialist is indicated as a VUS for people who have one of the professions:

• sound designers;
• radio mechanics;
• sound engineers;
• radio engineering.

They must have such personal qualities as excellent memory and the ability to think logically. It is important that the specialist has a mathematical mind; he will have to work with codes.

Drivers

This specialty can be obtained by people who, before serving in the army, did not have time to graduate from a university, but only received the license to drive any type of transport. Their task is to transport any cargo and people. Especially in military service, people who know how to operate tractor equipment are valued, because some of the machines are similar in design. People with civilian specialties are appointed to driver positions:

• train driver;
• skipper;
• driver of a car or self-propelled transport.

For some positions you will also need to have a special diploma, for example, graduation from a river, railway or agricultural technical school (school).

Special appointment

To serve in some branches of the military, it is necessary to have special qualities, therefore positions corresponding to them are indicated in the military cards of people with professions:

• rescuer;
• firefighter;
• diver;
• law enforcement officer.

Their main qualities are good health, psychological stability and a high level of physical fitness. Most often, special-purpose positions are indicated on military IDs only based on the results of conscription service. In this case, service in difficult conditions is a prerequisite.

How to decipher the code designation

There is no open catalog with all VUS codes. This information is classified as secret; it is known only to career officers. You can ask a specialist from the district military commissariat to name your specialty. You have the right to use the skills you learn in the military for employment, so it pays to know your military specialty.

The first three digits of the VUS code indicate specialization. Examples:

• 100 – arrows;
• 101 – snipers;
• 106 – military reconnaissance;
• 998 – fit for military service, but not trained;
• 999 – limited fit for service who lack military training.

The list of VUS is divided into chapters, each of them has a number that partially or completely coincides with the numbers of the first code. The next three numbers are a sign of a specific position; it gives a more complete picture of the specialty. Here are some examples:

• 001 – battery operator;
• 037 – driver;
• 220 – a mechanic involved in the repair and maintenance of jet engines and aircraft;
• 673 – surveyor;
• 203 – rescuer;
• 385 – specialist in underwater blasting.

Deciphering the VUS is quite a difficult matter, since different combinations of numbers give certain professions, of which there are a great many in military affairs. Additionally, the code is equipped with a letter designation:

• A – no special signs;
• B – specialists working with rocket equipment;
• D – landing troops;
• K – composition of military vessels (moving on water)
• T – builders;
• E – flight crew;
• S - rescuers.

One of the most common codes that can be found on a military ID is 837037A. If you decipher it, you get a specialty: a driver of any brand of automobile without any special characteristics. This specialty is awarded to those who have the right. The absence of special signs means that such a person can serve in any army.

All citizens of the country must have an identity card. For adults, this is a passport. Men, in addition to him, have a military ID. This document is issued to male persons who are citizens of Russia, who have served and who have not served. Even those who cannot serve due to poor health receive it.

The passport contains the main data about the identity of the employee, as well as his military specialty (in short, VUS). This data is required for high-quality registration of military personnel. A specialty is also assigned on the basis of information from a military university, then the citizen becomes an officer and receives a specialty recorded in the military ID under a certain military university code. This category of citizens does not need to undergo military service, as they are assigned to the reserves.

Assignment of military specialties

The list of VUS refers to classified information protected by the state and belongs to the country's Ministry of Defense. This situation is regulated by the Law “On State Secrets”.

Secrecy is calculated based on the damage caused by the dissemination of national security information. The following privacy types are available:

• of special importance;
• top secret;
• secret.

The period during which secret information is stored cannot exceed 30 years. After this time, the materials are subject to declassification on the basis of a government decree. Every 5 years, authorized bodies review this list anew.

The list can be divided into different types. The numbers in it give a concrete idea of ​​the specialization, as well as the position of the person liable for military service, not only in military service, but also in civilian conditions.

In open mode, the types of specialties are not published in full, however, there is still some information about this. When decrypting, the VUS, code and main features of the corresponding service are determined. For a clearer understanding, you can study the example: VSU-100097R. The number “100” means specialization (infantry), the next numbers “097” indicate the position of deputy platoon commander, the letter “P” indicates border troops. In this way, the VUS code is completely deciphered. This specialty, however, will actually play a role only during general mobilization in the military registration and enlistment office.

Existing VUS groups

To better understand the VUS numbers, it is worth considering military specialties for different military positions. The main groups include the following:

1. Team.
2. Operator's rooms.
3. Connections
4. Driver's license.
5. Special purpose.

Team

The commander's functions include control. Such a person must have organizational abilities that allow him to achieve the desired result. The commander is responsible for the psychological state and professional training of his subordinates. In a military ID, such a military service is marked with the following numerical values:

• 70201 (travel platoon);
• 70203 (mechanized);
• 70204 (communications departments) and others.

In civilian life, this corresponds to professions, for example, tourism instructor, sports instructor, administrator, etc.

Operator's

In this case, the employee operates military equipment. The performance of duties is carried out in several stages, during which information is received and processed, an appropriate decision is made, and actions taken are monitored. For an operator, such qualities as observation, excellent memory, and a high level of responsibility are important.

If we consider civilian specialties, then an operator can work as a specialist in working with various mechanisms, including software: a dispatcher at the airfield, a programmer, a technician and other professions. Example digital codes include:

• 97001 - reconnaissance optical department;
• 20300 - engineer for setting up technical support for tanks and other equipment;
• 30202 - command and control of troops, other.

Connections

Currently, this specialization plays an important role. Without it, military units may become uncontrollable, and the risk of losses increases. Communication between departments is carried out by telephone, telegraph, telecode and video telephone, as well as through various signals. The signalman must develop the same personal qualities as the operator. He must be smart, have an excellent memory, and the ability to recognize various encryptions.

In the civil service, this position corresponds to a sound engineer, editor, radio operator and mechanic, as well as other professions. VUS codes are as follows:

• 121000 - communications unit;
• 121400 - department with low-channel communication;
• 121702 - by long-distance communication;
• 121202 - with medium-power radio stations and others.

Driving license

This position places different tasks on the military man. He must be able to control both automobile and armored vehicles, railway trains, and ships. The driver ensures the mobile movement of military forces. In ordinary life, an employee may have such specialties as a driver of a machine (a car or equipment used in industry, including heavy equipment). The codes in the VUS correspond to the following digital combinations:

• 157259 - anti-aircraft vehicle mechanic;
• 180994 - excavator operator and the like.

Special forces

In this case, it refers to special conditions under which employees need to perform their duties. They are entrusted with the most important and daring tasks that require special knowledge and the necessary level of training.

There are such units in all troops. While in the civilian reserves, they can find themselves in such specialties as diver, fire instructor, explosives operator, and so on. According to the VUS code, the following may be:

• 107654 - special purpose reconnaissance diver;
• 107746 - instructor in the preparatory part of special forces, other positions.

Anyone who makes a military career or simply serves in the army is faced with a number of questions regarding the military ID. VUS in a military ID, the decoding of which is fraught with difficulties, means the specialty that is assigned to the employee. This specialty depends on the man’s education (technical school, college, higher education institution). What specialties are there and how they are coded - more on that.

All documents that a person receives are full of abbreviations and incomprehensible codes. Such codes are adopted rather for the internal convenience of the institution where the document is issued, and are standardized at the state level. It can be difficult for the average person to understand abbreviations and codes, but such information is necessary to better understand your own documents. Many misunderstandings surround the military ID, so conscripts and employees are often interested in what VUS-999 means on the military ID and other codes.

The VUS in the military ID, the decoding of which indicates the specialty, is necessarily listed in the documents of every man who served in the army.

VUS is a military specialty. It is assigned according to the education received before conscription into the army.

Code 999 denotes citizens with fitness category “B” who can be called up in the event of mobilization, but do not undergo special army training

A person receives a military specialty either directly during military service, or immediately after graduating from the military department at the corresponding higher educational institution.

Knowing what VUS is on military IDs, you should understand specialty codes. This will allow you to more accurately decipher all the symbols in the document.

Everyone in a military unit performs some function. What a person will do in the army is determined by his military specialty.

The VUS number in the military ID appears either during service after some time, or right before assignment to the unit. In the second case, a person’s existing skills are taken into account, and this is not always associated with special education. Thus, a young man with a driver’s license and good driving experience can immediately be identified as a driver. Military registration specialty VUS 837037a will immediately appear on his military ID. The last three digits in this number indicate the driver's position, the first three digits indicate military specialization. The letter “a” at the end of such a number indicates that the employee does not have any special characteristics. The absence of such signs indicates that the driver can serve in any army, without restrictions.

Why do you need to determine VUS?

In fact, the full code designation of the VUS on the military ID is necessary for convenience. One glance at this code is enough to understand the type of activity of the employee.

Young people who have just been issued a military ID are not assigned a VUS. The only exceptions are those cases when the guy graduated from college or technical school and attended the military department. In this case, what VUS means on a military ID will depend on the type of activity of the conscript or employee.

VUS codes are required:

• to determine the specialization of a person in the reserve;
• health group designations;
• for employment in the army.

Thus, in the event of urgent mobilization, thanks to the VUS, it is possible to quickly determine the number of specialists in each sector, which helps to quickly send people to the necessary troops. Thus, the codes of military registration specialties of soldiers eliminate unnecessary paperwork.

What types of positions are there?

The list of military specialties includes signalmen, drivers, etc.

Having figured out what the VUS means on a military ID, you need to understand what specialties this or that code denotes, and in general, what specializations there are in the army.

Military occupational codes are six-digit numbers with a letter at the end. The first three digits indicate the branch of the army:

• rifle;
• sniper;
• intelligence service;
• special purpose;
• engineering;
• technical.

So, if the first three digits of the code are 100, these are rifle troops. Reconnaissance and special forces are designated by codes 106 and 107, respectively.

Driving specialties are designated by code 838. Moreover, this specialty includes driving any military equipment, depending on what kind of training a person will undergo in the army.

Military occupational specialties (MSS) and officer professions, as a rule, are assigned to the educational department in which the person was trained. The only exceptions are persons who have undergone training at a military department in a higher educational institution, or citizens with a driver's license. The list of military specialties is large and depends on the type of military in which a person serves.

So, people who have the specialty of a trainer, technical safety engineer, or parachuting instructor can get into command. They can be transferred to command only if the person has strong leadership qualities and has distinguished himself during his service.

The list of military specialties includes signalmen, operators, drivers, etc. Special forces usually include people whose profession is related to the Ministry of Emergency Situations or special services. So, it could be a fireman, a diver, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Codes on a military ID

Military ID of a rifleman in reserve

It is better to find out how the various codes in the VUS indicated on the military ID are deciphered directly from the institution where it was issued. The military registration number of the army specialty consists of several components. The list of codes is very large; you can view it at the military registration and enlistment office.

Assignment to a unit is determined by the following numbers:

• 100 – rifle unit;
• 106 – exploration activities;
• 107 – special forces;
• 838 – driving military equipment.

You should know that driver and signalman are two civilian professions that are immediately assigned to the army.

Two more codes are used separately - 998 and 999. The first code denotes citizens who already have a military specialty, but have not served in the army. Such people end up in the reserves, and the military specialty code is entered into a special register, so that in the event of urgent mobilization it is clear in what position a person can prove himself.

Code 999 denotes citizens with fitness category “B”. They can be called up in case of mobilization, but do not undergo special army training.

To understand the exact specialization, you need to look at the last three digits of the VUS in the military ID.

Let's look at an example using code 998000. The first three digits mean that the person has no training. This code is assigned to anyone who does not have combat service skills. The last three digits indicate that the person does not have a military specialty. This is due to the fact that he did not serve in the army and did not graduate from the military department at a higher educational institution.

You should also pay attention to the last letter in the code. If the VUS on a military ID ends with the letter “a,” then the person does not have a specific military attribute. The letter “D” stands for airborne troops, the letter “m” stands for marines.

Thus, you can accurately decipher this code on a military ID directly at the military registration and enlistment office or military unit. Such codes are created primarily to orderly group officers according to their professional skills.
