The paper analyzes how the highly fleeting combat environment, psychological operations, diverse personnel, and the specific nature of contemporary troops shape new requirements to political and military training officers. We substantiate the need to adapt political and military training courses for master's degree students based on the experience of contemporary armed conflicts and identified training deficiencies of junior officers. We propose improvements to the course on political and military training in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, including updating topical units (information security, psychological support, and diverse personnel management) and improving practice-oriented teaching methods (cases, simulated combat situations, and engaging officers with experience in the special military operation). Additionally, the paper emphasizes the importance of developing interdepartmental interaction and communication skills in master's degree students in the context of limited time and resources. The findings may be used to adjust steering documents and assessment materials in the military education system. It is concluded that the special duties of political and military training officers in the context of the special military operation is a critical factor for the improvement of military education contributing to a better combat readiness of troops.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассмотрены особенности профессиональной деятельности заместителя командира воинской части по военно-политической работе в современных боевых условиях, связанных с проведением специальной военной операции. Проанализировано, как высокая динамичность боевой обстановки, информационно-психологическое противоборство, гетерогенность личного состава и специфика современных войск формируют новые требования к офицерам по линии военно-политической работы. Обоснована необходимость адаптации образовательных программ военно-политической подготовки магистрантов с учётом опыта современных вооружённых конфликтов и выявленных дефицитов подготовки молодых офицеров. Предложены направления совершенствования содержания учебной дисциплины «Организация военно-политической работы в Вооружённых Силах Российской Федерации», включая обновление тематических блоков (информационная безопасность, психологическая поддержка, работа с разнородным контингентом) и усиление практико-ориентированных методов обучения (ситуационные задачи, моделирование боевых ситуаций, вовлечение офицеров с опытом специальной военной операции). Дополнительно подчёркнута важность формирования у магистрантов навыков межведомственного взаимодействия и коммуникации в условиях ограниченного времени и ресурсов. Результаты могут быть использованы при корректировке рабочих программ и оценочных материалов в системе военного образования. Сделан вывод о том, что учёт специфики деятельности офицеров по военно-политической работе в условиях специальной военной операции является критическим фактором модернизации военного образования, способствующим повышению боеготовности войск.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political and military training</kwd><kwd>special military operation</kwd><kwd>moral and psychological support</kwd><kwd>training courses</kwd><kwd>practice-oriented training</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>военно-политическая подготовка</kwd><kwd>специальная военная операция</kwd><kwd>морально-психологическое обеспечение</kwd><kwd>образовательные программы</kwd><kwd>практико-ориентированное обучение</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kopichev OA, Nikolaev AE.
