Abstract

 This article is devoted to analyzing the essence of the military socialization process and the formation of the personality and identity of a serviceman. It examines, from a sociological perspective, how mechanisms of socialization within the military environment—such as discipline, collectivity, obedience to orders, patriarchal values, and patriotism—affect individual development. The paper also analyzes the psychological adaptation, role acquisition, and identity formation that occur during military service. The study substantiates methods of integrating individuals into society through military institutions based on empirical data.
