Abstract
The article presents a systematic analysis of NATO countries' military-legal models for regulating military service, aiming to identify effective mechanisms suitable for adaptation within the context of Ukraine’s national security and defense. The study encompasses both fundamental legal acts (constitutions, laws, statutes) and departmental regulations aligned with international standards. It is generalized that the legal systems of NATO member states are structured in a cascade–from overarching state principles to specific instructions–ensuring both the stability and flexibility of military governance amid dynamic threats. The research explores several national cases: the United States (UCMJ reform, Blended Retirement System, GI Bill), Germany (Soldatengesetz, social packages for contract soldiers, the legal doctrine of the “citizen in uniform”), France (ethical principles of military status), Poland (integration of voluntary contracts into the Total Defense model), Scandinavian countries (gender-neutral selective conscription), and Canada and Estonia (digital platforms for recruitment and personnel assessment). Special attention is devoted to comparing three models of military service–professional, mixed, and conscription-based–in terms of their social effectiveness, human resource capacity, and mobilization potential. It is demonstrated that NATO countries are gradually converging around key principles: rule of law, civilian oversight, and compliance with international humanitarian law norms and STANAG standards. Within disciplinary law, emphasis is placed on the gradual transition from authoritarian to rights-based models: independence of military prosecutors, access to legal counsel, and the functioning of military ombudsman institutions. The importance of social guarantees–from pension models to veteran reintegration and rehabilitation programs–is emphasized as a strategic component of personnel policy. The comparative analysis results in a set of practical recommendations for implementation: introducing short-term contracts with robust social packages, expanding the legal status of reservists, integrating digital platforms for recruitment and evaluation, and institutionalizing gender equality in personnel policy. The study concludes that the optimal model for Ukraine is a multi-level system of legal regulation of military service, which combines NATO standards with flexible adaptation to national needs.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
