MILITARY REPORT ON THE UPDATE OF THE ORDER

Any questions related to military service today are more relevant than ever. After all, every day military personnel and their family members face new challenges that are new and incomprehensible to them. If in peaceful life we submit an appeal or statement to a question that needs an answer or clarification, then for the military the main document that gives answers to the necessary questions is a report.

The report is a kind of appeal to the leadership of the unit on certain troubling issues. One of the types of reports is the order clarification report.

It is already clear from the name itself that it will be about clarifying the previously issued order by the leadership of the military unit or another body authorized to issue orders.

When should the order clarification report be submitted?

Usually, a report on the clarification of an order is submitted in the event that the issued order clearly violates the rights of a serviceman, or its execution is impossible for certain objective reasons. In order not to refuse to comply with an obviously illegal order (for which criminal liability is provided), you can submit a report on clarifying the order.

Content of the report on clarification of the order

In the report on the clarification of the order, it is necessary to indicate that you do not refuse to fulfill the order, but you ask it to be explained in detail and certain points clarified. It is important that the report on clarification of the order is as detailed as possible with reference to all the circumstances of the case. It is also worth noting the date and number of the order that needs to be explained and briefly its content.

Why is it important to submit an order clarification report?

The report on clarification of the order is evidence that the serviceman does not refuse to carry out the commander's order, especially if it is an order to perform a certain combat task. Even if later this situation will be the subject of consideration by competent authorities (SBI, prosecutor's office, etc.), the report on clarification of the order will be a kind of confirmation that no one refused to comply with the order.

Importantly! In order to avoid misunderstandings with the military command, as well as situations where the report on clarification of the order "disappears", it is worth writing such a report in two copies. One will be given to the commander, and the other with a receipt note will remain with the serviceman.

Recommendations

If controversial moments or situations arise during military service, you should not neglect the help of military law specialists. After all, it is military lawyers who can notice the smallest violations of rights and help protect them. And even in times of war, no one can be forced to obey illegal orders and other orders. And military personnel should remember that, if necessary, they can count on professional legal assistance.
