What is the procedure for considering a serviceman's report?

A military serviceman has the right to send a report or another version of a request letter for military assistance to his commander.

The commander is obliged to consider the report within 15 days from the day of its receipt. If necessary, the commander can additionally check the information presented in the report or request additional documents. In this case, the term of consideration of the report may be extended up to 30 days.

For some types of reports, special terms of consideration are established. For example, the report on the passing of the VLK is considered within 10 calendar days from the day it is received by the relevant body. And the term of consideration of a serviceman's report for leave is 3 days from the day of its receipt.

The order of consideration of the report by the commander has a certain sequence:

1. Studying the text of the report.

2. Verification of the plausibility of the stated facts.

3. Decision on appropriate measures or sentencing.

4. Notification of the serviceman about the results of the review.
