Generally accepted psychological and pedagogical methods were used, including the analysis of literary data, questioning of cadets in the number of 100 people and commanders of military units both in a military educational institution (45 people) and units in which graduates of a military educational institution (55 people) serve.
The results of the study and their discussion. It is determined that military professional competence is a set of interrelated professional and personal qualities that are formed in the educational process of a military educational institution and determine the ability of cadets to carry out military professional activities on the basis of acquired knowledge and formed skills.
