Legal Regulation of Military Transport Obligation in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article examines the essence, characteristics of normative legal regulation and problematic aspects of implementation of military transport obligation in the Russian Federation. The author notes that in difficult modern conditions, fulfilment by citizens and organisations of their constitutional responsibilities to ensure the defence of the country and the security of the state is an important area of preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia. The social, historical and legal roots of military transport obligation are described. It has been studied that in Russia, the legal acts at the federal level have established necessary regulatory and legal requirements, characterised by completeness, accessibility for acquaintance and general elaboration of regulated issues. Military transport obligation in the country has been established to provide state armed forces with vehicles during the period of mobilisation and during wartime. The paper substantiates that military transport obligation appears to be an important structural and functional construct in the material, technical and regulatory support of the country’s defence capability and state security. The author has formulated specific proposals for improving the current state legal regulation of the issue under consideration, to increase the level of mobilisation readiness of vehicles and ensure better performance of military transport obligation.
