WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR TRANSFER TO ANOTHER MILITARY UNIT?

Transfer to another unit is a common request that a military lawyer is often asked about. Despite the fact that there may be all the necessary reasons for such a transfer, in practice the situation sometimes slows down due to the fact that the human or bureaucratic factor comes into play. It is in such cases that the help of a qualified lawyer who will provide support for the transfer procedure will be very appropriate. Such specialists work at the Prikhodko&Partners law office.

How does the transfer work in general?

In order for everything to happen with the desired result, the following are necessary:

• Relationship from the unit in which the serviceman would like to serve. It is not enough just to have a desire or even to have grounds for transfer. There must be a vacant position where a person is ready to be hired. This is confirmed by the corresponding document, which is the mentioned relationship.
• Basis for transfer. For example, it can be about the state of health, family circumstances, official necessity, organizational measures, the conclusion of the job description.
• The good will of the commander himself, to whom the serviceman currently reports. Some complain about the subjectivity of such a factor, but this does not change how important it is. By the way, precisely with this in mind, legal support helps to better resolve the situation. When a qualified and legally knowledgeable representative of the serviceman interacts with the commander, the probability of a positive result increases many times over.

When all the listed factors are present, it makes it possible to resolve the issue in the desired direction.

Documents for translation: what you need to know?

The more documents that support the military's desire to transfer to another part, the better. In addition to the report from it, it is worth adding the conclusions of the certification, recommendations from the direct leaders of the military and the request of commanders who are ready to accept a military man for service in their unit. This is a standard list of documents that are universal for all cases.

The rest of the documentation depends on the basis for the transfer. For example, if we are talking about the state of health, then the conclusion of the military medical commission is important here. By the way, if you understand that your health has deteriorated and you don't know how to prove it, we are also ready to provide legal support here. We will draw up a report on the military medical commission, carefully advise on the specifics of the procedure, and if necessary, we will help challenge the conclusion in case it does not correspond to your actual state of health.

When it comes to family circumstances, you also need documents certifying what these circumstances are. The identical rule applies to any other ground.

It is also worth paying attention to the following norms:

• When the transfer takes place between units, operational commands, or units, orders are required from those officials who command those units.
• When a soldier is transferred between different types of armed forces, an order from the Commander-in-Chief is necessary.
• When the transfer takes place between units belonging to different types and branches of the military, there is a need for an order from the head of the personnel service of the Ministry of Defense.
