The law and the Ministry

What you can name in your application

In an application for a motivational contract under Resolution No. 768 the candidate names the chosen unit and the chosen position; the unit decides within three working days of receiving the application.

The Ministry of Defence explains that a candidate can name a unit and a position according to their skills, combat experience or civilian speciality. This is the ministry's explanation, not a provision of the resolution. The commander decides.

Resolution No. 768 does not treat medics, psychologists, drivers or signallers differently. It sets no separate terms, payments or procedures for them. The contract term depends on the Ministry of Defence lists. The reward depends on the tasks.

The law lets you name a unit and a position in the application. It does not give you the right to get them. Tell the recruiter about your profession: they will explain which of the open positions may suit you.

Step by step

From first contact to contract

The procedure under Resolution No. 768 on the motivational contract. We name a time only where the law sets one.

  1. Step 1. Your contact

    No fixed time limit. Depends on the recruiter’s workload. We do not promise an exact time.

    You
    You leave your name, phone number and your preferred messenger. It starts a conversation. It does not commit you to a contract.
    The brigade
    A recruiter will write or call. We never ask for money to join. If a message comes from an unknown number or account, check who they are first.

  2. Step 2. Conversation with a recruiter

    No fixed time limit. Depends on you. You can take time to think it over.

    You
    You tell the recruiter about your profession, experience, education and documents. You name the position you are interested in and ask any questions.
    The brigade
    The recruiter tells you which positions are open, whether the one you chose suits you and which contract is offered for it.
  3. Step 3. The unit’s decision

    By lawTime limit. The decision to accept a person for service under a motivational contract, or to refuse, is made by the unit commander. A person who is refused gets a notice stating the reason. After a decision to accept, the unit organises professional and psychological selection.Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 768 (opens in a new tab)

    You
    You submit an application under Resolution No. 768 with the unit and position you chose. The recruiter will show you how.
    The brigade
    The unit decides whether to accept you and may refuse. If it refuses, it sends a notice with the reason.
  4. Step 4. Contract

    No fixed time limit. Depends on the position and the unit’s decision. The recruiter will explain the exact procedure.

    You
    You sign a contract only when you have decided yourself and have answers to all your questions.
    The brigade
    The type and term of the contract depend on the position, the Ministry of Defence lists and your military registration. The recruiter will explain them.

This is not legal advice. A territorial recruitment centre (TRC) and a lawyer answer legal questions. A conversation with a recruiter does not commit you to anything.

To be clear

What we do not promise

We do not promise a position in your specialty, a particular unit or service on particular tasks. The commander decides the position according to the unit’s needs.

The Ministry of Defence approves the lists of positions and units for the motivational contract. A recruiter will tell you before you sign whether your position is on a list. The recruiter will also tell you what contract term this means.

The requirements for each position are on its vacancy card. A recruiter will explain before you sign whether a diploma, a driving licence or a certificate is taken into account.

Questions

What people usually ask

Will I be taken for a position in my profession?

We do not promise it in advance. You can name the unit and position you want in the application. The commander decides according to the unit’s needs. The positions the brigade advertises are above.

Does Resolution No. 768 treat medics, drivers and signallers differently?

The answer is in the section “What you can name in your application” above. A recruiter will explain before you sign whether other legal rules apply to your profession and what this means for your position.

What is the contract term in my position?

It depends on whether the position and unit are on the Ministry of Defence lists. For a citizen on military record: A citizen on military record signs a 14-month contract under Resolution No. 768 if appointed to a position from the list of positions and units. At least 12 months of that term must be served in such positions and units. For other positions the term is different: a recruiter will name it before you sign.

Do I need experience in my specialty?

Each advertisement says whether experience is not needed, preferred or required. Tick “No experience” in the list of positions to see only those that do not require it.

Do you take people who have not served?

Some positions on the list do not require experience. A recruiter will tell you after a conversation whether you fit. Medical examination for a motivational contract under Resolution No. 768 is carried out under the general legislation.

How do I make sure it is really the brigade?

See the page “Check that it is really us”: it lists the official channels and the signs of scammers. We never ask for money to join.

A conversation with a recruiter commits you to nothing
