In addition, it was found that a necessary condition for this is the acquisition by applicants for higher education of such competencies as the ability to plan, organize and conduct combat as a unit, to apply tactical techniques of special actions (operations) of military formations with law enforcement functions in various conditions. The article substantiates theoretical principles and develops practical recommendations for improving the conditions for the formation of these competencies in the educational process using complex tactical exercises and bilateral exercises during complex field exercises, focusing on the ability to competently plan and effectively manage the actions of subordinates by future officers. Further research may be aimed at diversifying the methods of conducting complex tactical training, combining it against the background of a single tactical situation with the use of weapons (conducting training shootings), including group weapons and the use of armored vehicles; adapting this lesson, based on the level of acquired knowledge and skills, for implementation with higher education students in the first, second and third years of study.
