The authors propose to improve the methodology of operational and service activities planning based on the methodology of defense planning within the national security system on the basis of opportunities. The capability-based planning will allow for better planning of operational and service activities of the border agency and will ensure active cooperation between Ukraine and NATO in order to achieve the criteria necessary for full membership in the Alliance. A defense survey is conducted to assess the state and readiness of the defense forces to perform tasks related to the defense of Ukraine, the state of their personnel, financial, logistical and other types of support in the current and projected conditions of the security environment. The survey of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine was conducted using an analytical method, namely the analysis of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT-analysis), which allows substantiating the main directions of the Development Strategy of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and increasing the level of operational and service activities planning within the system of national security. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine is a component of the security and defense sector and the new conditions the border agency operates in arise the issue on improving the methodology of planning its operational and service activities.

The article substantiates the experimental program of professional competencies formation in future bachelors of the state border security by means of complex practical exercises. The level of cadets’ motivation to master the specialty of a border guard officer was determined; the influence of training classes according to the author’s teaching methods on the efficiency of professional competencies formation in cadets of the state border security is determined; the levels of their professional competencies formedness are determined. The research was conducted at Bohdan Khmelnytskyi National Academy of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in 2018-2021. 191 cadets of the Faculty of the State Border Security took part in the research. The summative assessment evaluated the degree of mastering the system of knowledge about the essence, content, methods, ways of professional activities; skills and abilities of future bachelors of the state border security to independently solve urgent tasks of border surveillance at the tactical level. The main dominant motives that inspire the cadets to quality education were presented; the key reasons that hinder the formation of the cadets’ professional competencies were outlined. Research methods: system-structural analysis of pedagogical, psychological, educational and methodical, normative sources for tracing the development of pedagogical thought on the researched problem; study of academic instructors’ experience, existing needs of border practice; comparison; synthesis and abstraction; summative assessment, survey, statistical analysis. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the level of professional competence in the experimental group cadets is significantly better (p < 0.001) compared to the control group cadets. It is determined that the number of the experimental group cadets with a high level of professional competencies increased at the end of the experiment compared to the control group, which confirmed the effectiveness of the experimental program.
