Terms and conditions · as the resolution says
Contract No. 768
Which term applies and what follows service, as the resolution says, not as news headlines do.
Contract term
Which term applies to you
News outlets call these contracts “assault”, “combat” and “basic”. Resolution No. 768 has no such names. It calls it a “motivational contract”. The term depends on two things: who you are now, and whether your position is on the list of combat positions.
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.
Resolution No. 768 provides for a contract of six months or more for citizens who served during the special period, were discharged from service, have the relevant training and are appointed to positions from the list.
A recruiter will tell you whether a specific position is on the list before you sign the contract.
- serviceman, position from the list
- 10 months
- serviceman, position from the list
- citizen on record, position from the list
- 14 months
- citizen on record, position from the list
- position outside the list (serviceman or citizen)
- 24 months
- position outside the list (serviceman or citizen)

Who it is for
Who this path is for, and who it is not for
This path is for you if you are a civilian or a person liable for military service and ready to serve under contract. Citizens may sign a military service contract from the age of 18. The military medical commission decides if you are fit for service, not the recruiter. It is not for you if you need a position fixed in advance: the final assignment depends on the commission’s decision and the unit’s needs.
If you already serve in another unit, choose “I serve, I want a transfer” in the form. A recruiter will explain which path fits you. If you are between 18 and 25, there is a separate programme: see the link below. If you are reading this for a family member, look at the “Check that it is really us” page together: it is below as well.
After service
What follows the contract
After the contract you can get a deferral from call-up in mobilisation. The base deferral after a Resolution No. 768 contract is six months.
For contracts of 10 months, 14 months and six months or more, each 30 days of combat adds three months of deferral. A recruiter will explain how additional months are counted for other contracts.
A separate rule: persons liable for military service who are discharged within the periods set by a presidential decree are not called up in mobilisation. The period is 3 years.
These are rules of the resolution, not a personal promise from the brigade.
Whether they apply to you depends on the grounds for discharge. We do not give legal advice. Check the text of the resolution and ask a recruiter before you sign.
How it goes
From a conversation to signing
Four steps. The decision is yours, and you can say no until you sign the contract.
Resolution No. 768 runs as an experimental project for two years. The rules may change. We show the date the texts were checked at the bottom of the page, and the official text of the resolution is in the “See also” section.
- 1
A conversation with a recruiter
Leave your phone number. A recruiter will call and say whether positions are open, whether yours is on the list and what term that means.
- 2
Military medical commission
We explain how to pass the military medical commission and which documents you need. The commission decides if you are fit.
- 3
The contract
Read the terms before you sign: term, position, payments. Ask the recruiter about anything unclear. Sign only after you decide.
- 4
Training
Under Resolution No. 768, basic general military training (BGMT) for people who have not done it before lasts at least 51 days. Then comes specialist training for your position.
Questions
What people usually ask about the contract
How do the “assault”, “combat” and “basic” contracts differ?
Resolution No. 768 does not use these names. They come from news articles, and the resolution says “motivational contract”. What matters for you is who signs the contract and whether the position is on the list, because that sets the term. A recruiter will tell you which option applies.
What contract term will I get?
A citizen on military record: 14 months for a position from the list, 24 months outside it. A serviceman: 10 months for a position from the list. There is a separate option for those who served in the special period and were discharged: its terms are in the section on the term above. A recruiter will say which one applies to you.
How much is the pay?
It depends on the position and on combat participation, so a recruiter will give the exact amount for your position. For reference: Additional combat rewards under Resolution No. 768 cannot exceed 460,000 hryvnias per month. This is an upper limit on additional rewards, not an amount everyone receives.
What happens after the contract?
After the contract you can get a deferral from call-up. The base deferral after a Resolution No. 768 contract is six months. Other grounds and additional months are in the section “What follows the contract”. Whether a rule covers your case is a question for the recruiter.
How long is the training?
Under Resolution No. 768, basic general military training (BGMT) for people who have not done it before lasts at least 51 days. Then comes specialist training for your position.
Can I choose my position?
A recruiter matches a position to your health, experience and open vacancies. The final assignment depends on the commission’s decision and on the unit’s needs, so you cannot choose freely.
Is recruitment open right now?
It depends on open positions in the brigade, and these change, so this page does not promise places in advance. Leave your contact. A recruiter will tell you whether there are places now.
How do I know this is really the brigade?
See the “Check that it is really us” page for official channels and signs of a scam. We never ask for money to join.
