Performance of the military personnel of the biological and social functions can be interpreted as manifestations of health. From the correspondence of life attitudes, claims and manifestations of health, one or another degree of well being-physical, mental and social-is formed. In this regard, it can be argued that the health of the soldier is a complex medical, psychological and social phenomenon and its preservation should be carried out from a systemic perspective at these levels. The concept of “health” does not have a universally accepted unified interpretation, is characterized by the ambiguity and heterogeneity of the composition. According to the definition that was given in the preamble of the Charter of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948, health is a condition of a person who is characterized not only by the absence of diseases or physical defects, but also complete physical, mental and social well-being. It can be concluded that health is an integral characteristic that reflects the influence of various conditions (both external and internal environment) on the success of adaptation and professional activities of military personnel. The health of a serviceman is a complex medical-psychological-social phenomenon, and its preservation should be carried out from systemic positions at the indicated levels.healthmilitary personneladaptationprofessional activitypreservation of healtha complex of factorsbiological definitionsздоровьевоеннослужащиеадаптацияпрофессиональная деятельностьсохранение здоровьякомплекс факторовбиологизаторские определения[Белов В.
