The article is devoted to the development and implementation of the method of multicomponent psychological support for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the large-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation. It was determined that in the conditions of a high pace of life, an increase in the level of stress and a crisis caused by hostilities, concern for the psychological well-being of military personnel becomes extremely relevant. Modern approaches to psychological assistance in combat conditions are considered, taking into account the experience of the war in Ukraine and NATO international standards. The main components and stages of implementation of the method of multicomponent psychological support – crisis intervention, stabilization, rehabilitation and support of military personnel are summarized
