Soldiers to apply for military transfers through Army+ app – Umerov

Ukraine’s servicemen and servicewoman are allowed to request military transfers through “Army+” application starting November 15.

According to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, the process will take about 15 minutes. To apply, service members need:

• A military ID or officer’s certificate.
• A recommendation letter from the unit they wish to transfer to.
• For health-related transfers, a military medical commission certificate is required.

Commanders’ approval is not necessary, as the request automatically goes to the Armed Forces Personnel Center for review within 72 hours.

In specific cases, the Personnel Center may consult unit commanders, particularly for transfers between combat and rear brigades.

If the request is denied, the app will specify the reasons, such as:

• Serving in the current unit for less than six months.
• Less than a year has passed since the previous transfer.

All rejection criteria are defined under Ukraine’s government resolution No. 1291.
