Abstract	The article attempts to analyze the specificity of determination of the notion “chief military officer” through reading of Ukrainian legal acts. Authors study some of the regulations taken from the Military manuals, Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service” concerning obtaining the status of chief military officer by military rank and position, along with the moment since the soldier or liable for military service (reservist) obtains such status. Authors present their own definition of the investigated notion.
Keywords	military service; chief military officer; military rank; military officer; liable for military service; reservist.
