In the article, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are considered as a complex open nonlinear system, the main mechanism of implementation of which is social interaction. The authors consider the confrontation on the battlefield not only as a confrontation between strategy and tactics, various systems of military management, weapons, military equipment, but also a confrontation between mental models, different types of thinking and moral and ethical qualities of individual servicemen who make decisions and consciously follow the orders of the leadership. It is proposed to expand the optics and look at this confrontation as a confrontation of opposite approaches to the formation of morality – of the fundamental integral quality of personnel, which is the basis of the ability and readiness of military personnel to perform assigned tasks. The authors draw attention to conceptual differences in the attitude towards servicemen in NATO, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army, which are based on different approaches to understanding basic values and moral ideals and offer their own approach to the analysis of morality, which at the fundamental level includes an updated definition of morality, an explanation of its formation and development and a description of individual mechanisms of its implementation through the influence of the system of stable narratives on the consciousness and behavior of servicemen. The purpose of the study. To reveal the conceptual foundations of the development of morality in accordance with the updated NATO Standards and the mechanisms of the formation of morality on the example of the potential impact on the consciousness and behavior of servicemen of the system of stable narratives
