The author analyzes the peculiarities of the above elements in the context of building a professional image of military servicemen, emphasizing that the latter belong to a special group – a special team with a core moral imperative of its existence. The symbols and rituals of military affairs, which are important in shaping the image of military servicemen, as they reflect their identity and values, are studied.
