Ukrainian military ID 956 131 a designation. List of military specialties
Any person liable for military service, according to the law, both reservists and those undergoing military service, is provided with the so-called. a military ID card, in which the military specialty with its number is written - as a rule, it is a set of symbols of numbers and letters. The number is created on the basis of the employee’s education or his military specialty, which the person acquired at one time as part of the units.
Why is VUS necessary?
Often, an employer, when hiring a new employee, asks him to provide a military ID. When an employee is a reserve officer, he will get a job with only a registration certificate. From the information based on this document, HR employees perform the following:
An individual card is issued for the employee.
They take into account the data of the military service, which is reflected in the provided military registration document.
The designation of a military specialty is not only necessary to reflect the specialty acquired while serving in the Armed Forces, it also contains information about health. In encoded form, there is data about illnesses, possible unsuitability for service, etc.
The purpose of determining a military specialty
The data is present both in the military registration document and in the personal file of the person obliged to serve. The specialty is defined for everyone who is registered with the local commissariat and who acquired a profession as part of the units (signalmen, medical workers, intelligence officers).
A military specialty is acquired in the following situations:
During the period of urgent conscription service.
After completing your studies at a university that contains.
In some cases, a conscript receives a specialty when he is assigned to a unit while still at the conscription point. So, if a young person has a driver’s license of certain categories, he may be sent to serve as a driver. In this situation, he will be assigned a specific occupation number of the VUS, which is reflected on page 11 of the ticket.
The VUS is useful as a means of recording citizens present in the reserve or for identifying and specializing when applying for a person to a civilian position. The Ministry of Defense must have clear information about professional military reserves; this is required so that in the event of a sudden mobilization of people, people can be quickly sent to the appropriate branches of the military and military units.
In addition, if a citizen has received a VUS number, then he will definitely find combat use within military units. A specialty can be acquired through certain preparation and passing certain tests. High school students and almost all people of pre-conscription age currently undergo this type of training.
Types of positions
The document containing the military registration specialty contains specific data about the person liable for military service, namely:
The branch of the military in which the person served.
Job title.
Name of specialty.
Today there are several main groups of military units. Here is the list:
Command structure of units. To receive the rank of commander, a citizen must have clear leadership characteristics and be an excellent organizer.
Operators. These are individuals who are well versed in computers and IT equipment.
Communications department employees. Signalmen who provide connections between military units. Such people must have an excellent understanding of telecommunications.
Driver of vehicles. Such persons are often sent to transport employees and equipment. You can acquire such a specialty if a citizen has a driver’s license, especially with several categories.
Special purpose units. These units include people with excellent physical abilities, no health problems and good training.
Currently, a complete list containing the decrypted data is not publicly available. Such information is available only to officers of the Russian Army who are currently serving in military units.
However, any person whose documents indicate a military specialty can find out the transcript of the military registration and enlistment at the local military registration and enlistment office. Typically, this need arises if a citizen’s military registration specialty somehow influences a new civilian vacancy.
The first number in the designation indicates the person’s affiliation with a certain specialty:
100: combat rifle unit.
101: sniper service.
106: activities of reconnaissance units
998: fit for service, did not serve in the Armed Forces.
999: limited fitness, lack of training.
The entire list of military registration specialties is divided into chapters, each of them is characterized by its own number, and this, in turn, can fully or partially duplicate the first number.
The next number reflects a specific position that is assigned to a citizen in the ranks of the troops. This information is more detailed and allows you to find out the citizen’s application, for example:
000: no position.
001: Battery handling personnel.
097: deputy commander
182: unit commander.
220: jet engine mechanic.
259: mechanical drive.
673: meter for landscape parameters and elevation changes.
385: Underwater blasting specialist.
In general, deciphering a military specialty using the VUS code is not the easiest thing, since the specific arrangement of numbers is associated with a specific specialty.
Letters may be mixed with numbers, which indicates the person’s suitability for service in the troops of special units. List of letters:
-
K: military ships.
M: Marine.
P: internal troops.
R: border guard.
T: military construction.
E: pilot.
C: rescue service.
F: special forces unit.
X: intelligence officer.

What is the meaning of the abbreviation VUS in a military ID?
An army is always necessary, no matter how peaceful the country is, but for clear organization military structure, especially if unforeseen situations occur, there is a list of military registration specialties, or VUS for short.
We'll talk more about the VUS on a military ID in this article.
Military registration specialty
Each serviceman has his own specialization, therefore the military ID has a designation, that is, an encrypted code meaning of military specifics, which has been going on since the times of the USSR.
The decoding of the abbreviation VUS is the military registration specialization of a serviceman, it does not matter whether he is currently in service or has already retired or is retired.
VUS is designated as codes, most of which represent six numbers and a letter. If you learn to decipher each specialty, such a system is not difficult, very convenient and understandable:
A complete list of Russian military specialties was compiled by the government, and then officially proclaimed first in 1993, when decree No. 600-33 was issued, and the next decree with minor additions and changes in 1997 under number 707-35. In 2007, a new decree - No. 854-43 made some adjustments to previous documents.
Who is assigned
VUS begin to be assigned based on the existing education of privates or sailors, but can be assigned after training in the training unit.
If training takes place at a military institution, then the number is given at the very beginning of training, and then after graduation, but if training takes place in educational institution with a military department, then military specializations are noted upon graduation.
In this situation, the cadet receives not only a specialty, but also an officer position.
According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, those persons who received the rank of officers, having completed higher courses at universities and having college marks, should no longer be subject to conscription: in this case, they are considered discharged from the reserve.
A military ID is important not only in emergency military situations. In peaceful life, it is often used as the main document for any situation.
A military ID must be issued to every male citizen who has reached the age of military service.
And even if military service did not take place, he must have such a document, because it contains all the most important information about the individual, and, of course, registration data as a military personnel.
Important to know: The VUS makes it possible to constantly monitor the records of citizens liable for military service, which is why it is so important and is equal to the main documents that Russian citizens have. Its safety must be observed.
In the army, the list of all specialties is strictly confidential information, which is stored in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The complete list is not published in the mass media, therefore some data can only be deciphered by the highest ranks of the state.
The entire list of VUS, which can be seen on military IDs, is conditionally divided into special categories. All figures give an idea of the specialization and position of a military personnel not only as a military man, but also as a civilian.
Figures help to understand what the position includes, the features of the service and the military-specific responsibilities. For example, 100182 is deciphered as follows: the first three digits “100” refer to the “shooter” specialization.
The second three marks the position, that is, the commander of a rifle squad, the commander of a parachute platoon of marines.
170203 – mechanic-commander. For reconnaissance, the initial code set will be 106. The mortar commander has the code 030405.
The commander of the artillery reconnaissance is recorded in the military ID using the code set - 146182. The head of the motorized rifle platoon is marked with the number 021000.
When an entire team is subordinate, managing it, especially in the case of martial law, is quite difficult - not only professional skills are needed, but psychological abilities also play a big role.
Because different kinds troops have their own senior staff: for example, 70204 is the commander of a communications platoon, 01001 is the commander to whom the engineer staff reports.
Professions
Many army specializations correspond to civilian ones. These are a security guard, a trainer, a draftsman, operators, an administrator, a tourism specialist, a driver working at a service station, etc.
But there is also a special specificity. For example, the operator must be able to manage equipment, have the skills to control military equipment, and make quick decisions.
For example, the title “automatic repair engineer for special equipment and tanks” is contained under the number 20300.
Without reliable communications, troops will suffer heavy losses, so each unit and company must communicate with each other.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine directory contains positions for signalmen, for example, it also includes a radiotelegraph operator with knowledge of codes and ciphers. Communication affiliation is “121000”.
The military driver's position requires control of armored vehicles and railway vehicles, you need to be able to drive any type of vehicle.
121702 is the driver of the armored personnel carrier, and 180994 is the driver driving the excavator.
A reconnaissance officer who works in certain dangerous conditions has special assignments; a sapper is also exposed to such difficult conditions, performing complex tasks that require special training.
01001 is the commander of an engineering platoon, and 10003 is the commander under whose leadership the engineering platoon is located.
If you need an assistant commandant for railway station, then the number will be assigned to it 260101.
In the army, office clerks are also needed in any department, their number is 901566. And such a position as a cartographer-tablet operator - 671567 - is necessary for studying the area.
For successful combat, the gunner-operator is indispensable; code 121282 corresponds to him.
The brave machine gunners are assigned the number 101. The code worn by the landing force is 213182.
In peaceful life, a military ID plays a role important document, representing its owner as a civilian, but if mobilization is announced, coded records will greatly facilitate the work of the military commissariat.
To have every man in our country, regardless of whether he served or not. This document confirms that a man who has reached the age of 18 is registered with the military registration and enlistment office. This is an additional identification document that is equivalent in legal force to a passport. The document may be requested when applying for a job, applying for a loan, and in other cases. But not everyone knows what the numbers in the VUS line on a military ID mean. The decoding of which will be analyzed and explained.
VUS stands for military registration specialty. On a military ID, it is written in digital code format; each code designation corresponds to a specific specialty acquired for. Absolutely all specialties are divided into groups and have a corresponding numerical designation.
Specialization can also be determined based on the results of completing training at military department at the university. It can be assigned when assigned to a particular unit for service at a conscription point. This means that if a conscript has a driving license with one category or another, then he is identified as a driver, and the corresponding code entry is indicated in the document.
Pay attention! A military ID, but without indicating a specialty, is also issued to those who are unfit for service due to health reasons.
The need for higher educational qualifications
Information about this is included in the military ID and in the personal file of the person liable for military service. A similar position is listed in the documents of not only men, but also women who have chosen the profession of a signalman or medical worker.
The need for such numbering also plays a role for people who are in the reserves; health groups and employment orientations are determined by them, among other things. Thanks to them, the military administration can, in the event of mobilization, quickly transmit data on the number of persons with a particular profession to the General Staff. This means that it will be possible to very quickly determine which branch of the military to send a soldier to.
Job groups
For VUS, there are certain groups of positions, the division into which is based on knowledge, skills and experience.
Commanders
This includes those with good team management and training skills. The code that corresponds to this group appears for those who have succeeded during the period of service or while studying at the military department. In addition, it can be assigned to people who have a specialty:
That is, such a position can be given to those who know how to organize and train a group of people in certain skills. To do this, you just need to know the features of psychology and be able to influence.
Pay attention! Number 034097 indicates the acquired specialty - platoon commander.
Operator
This VUS involves working with a huge amount equipment that is in service with the army. This, of course, requires specific skills. Namely:
Accordingly, such an entry in the military ID is received by those who have skills in this type of work. In the event of hostilities, even someone who studied at a university to become a technician will be made an operator of an art installation. Additionally, any operator must have the following qualities: be able to assess the situation, be responsible, and make decisions quickly.
Signalman
This person is responsible for communication between departments. Necessary skills are the ability to work with modern communications: telecode, satellite communications, telephony, telegraph. Required personal qualities:
Another very important specialty, without which the list would not be complete, is a driver. Such a driving record is often written down for those who have taken driving courses and do not have higher education. The main tasks are transporting people and cargo.
Pay attention! People with knowledge of tractor technology and experience are considered especially valuable personnel.
You can count on such a record:
In some cases, in order to be awarded these specialties, you must have an appropriate diploma of completion of training at a university of the USSR or the Russian Federation.
Special purpose
Certain types of troops require specialized training, and therefore skills. The code designation of highly specialized specialists is:
All these people are tagged:
How to decipher the code?
The specialty code contains many numbers. Each group hides one or another designation. IN general view any VUS code will mean:
This data is encrypted based on the information below.
Important! There is no publicly available encryption of certain codes, but by contacting the military registration and enlistment office you can find out exactly what specialty you have been assigned. This is useful to know, because based on it, you can get a more suitable civilian position.
So, let's analyze the code based on the available information. the first 3 digits are the specialization. Explanation:
The next 3 digits indicate a particular position. For example:
Also, at the end the letter is indicated, it also has its own designation. For example, A is ground forces, M is marines, E is flight personnel, X is reconnaissance, P is internal troops.
Conclusion
Based on the data that can be found in the public domain, it is difficult to independently determine what VUS means. To do this, you should look at the military registration and enlistment office and contact the duty officer for a transcript.
Regulates the types of activities of the military, as well as civilians related to the service.
A military registration specialty (MSU) is assigned to each active, reserve or retired military personnel armed forces Russian Federation, as well as other troops, forces, special services and formations . The specialty is always indicated on the military ID. For example, the entry VUS - 212 956 means “parachute handler for parachute and airborne equipment.”
This is what a military ID looks like (Fig. 1)
The list of military specialties in Russia is regulated by Government Decree Russian Federation dated December 12, 2007 “On approval of the list...” and two more government resolutions . But these documents are kept classified as “Secret”. Therefore, we have to rely only on random sources.
Sample list
All VUS can be conditionally divided into several groups. The first 2-3 digits of the VUS number indicate the type of military service, and the last 3 digits indicate the direct type of activity.

For each citizen liable for military service, as well as military personnel, a special military ID is issued, which has a VUS number (Military Registration Specialty), indicating the mastered military specialty. Often such a number has the form of a digital and alphabetic encoding. Most often, it is assigned to a citizen on the basis of his existing education or on the basis of mastered military profession in the process of passing conscript service.
Why do you need a VUS?
Often, when hiring an employer, an employer requires a citizen liable for military service to present a military ID. In the event that we're talking about about the employment of a reserve officer, then he will only have a registration certificate in his hands. Based on such documentation, employees of the human resources department of a commercial structure carry out the following actions:
The code carries not only information about the specialty acquired by the citizen during his military service, but also certain data about his state of health. Information about a citizen’s illnesses in encrypted digital form is indicated on the military ID if he was declared unfit for military service.
Why are military specialties determined?
In the personal file of a citizen liable for military service, as well as in his military registration document, information about the military service is displayed. Military specialty is determined for each man registered with the military registration and enlistment office who has a certain profession (communications experts or medical workers).
A man can receive VUS in the following cases:
In some individual situations, a specialty may be assigned to a conscript when he is assigned to a military unit at a recruiting station. So, for example, if during the process of passing the draft board it is established that the conscript has a driver’s license that allows him to drive various vehicles, then he can be sent to a military unit as a driver. In this case, his documents will indicate the VUS code assigned to him.
VUS is located on page 11 in the military ID
In addition, the VUS code can be used in the process of keeping records of military personnel in the reserve, as well as when determining the health category and level of specialization in the process of applying a citizen to work. The military department must have information about the exact number of professionals that are in reserve. The military registration and enlistment office needs this data so that in the event of mobilization being announced, it will be possible to quickly assign people to the most suitable branches of the military.
It is also worth noting the fact that upon obtaining a certain specialty, you can count on getting into certain troops. In order to do this, it is enough to undergo special training and some tests. Almost all young men of pre-conscription age and high school students now undergo similar training.
Existing VUS job groups
In a military registration document belonging to a citizen, the VUS is indicated in the format of a multi-digit digital encoding with an additional letter designation. When decrypted, such a code allows you to obtain the following information about a man:
There are several main groups of VUS:
Code decoding method
To date, there is no separate open list with complete transcripts of the VUS. This information has confidential status. For this reason, only career officers of the Russian army have it. Moreover, each citizen liable for military service can find out his own military specialty in his military district commissariat. A person may need such information if it somehow affects his employment opportunities.The first digits in the VUS code indicate the military profession:
The list of VUS is divided into separate chapters. Each chapter has a number that partially or even completely repeats the first code. The following numbers indicate the specific position held by a person in the army. These data provide more comprehensive information about the citizen's military specialty. So, for example:
In general, decoding the VUS is a rather complex process. This is due to the fact that a certain combination of numbers denotes a specific military profession. The alphabetic symbol can complement the digital encoding and denotes special characteristics of the service:

Results
Some specialties that were acquired by a citizen during military service can be used by him when finding a job. A range of professional skills that can be acquired in modern army help you get a well-paid job workplace and generally get settled in life.
