Abstract

The article analyzes the effectiveness of the formation of intercultural competence in the process of practical training of future specialists of combat and operational support.
During the training of future specialists of combat and operational support, officers master the skills, abilities, methods and forms of professional activity, namely: practice in the performance of official duties in military units, consolidate theoretical knowledge, develop shelter skills using camouflage properties, barricades, fighting, etc. At command and staff, tactical exercises, cadets practise methods of conducting an operation or combat against the background of a specially created military-political, strategic, operational and combat environment.
It is noted that in the process of internship, future specialists of combat and operational support should develop language skills, such as: multicultural knowledge, knowledge of military-professional values, rules of verbal and nonverbal communicative behavior of servicemen. The purpose of their training is to gain knowledge about the communication styles of American and British servicemen and the use of communication strategies to achieve the goal, the ability to engage in dialogue with representatives of other cultures. Servicemen consolidate skills of tolerant communicative behavior, the ability to control their actions during communication, including the ability to overcome fear, ethnic and cultural stereotypes
It is concluded that during cadets' training and military practice in conditions close to the real ones in order to form intercultural competence, problem-searching teaching methods were found, namely the case method and the educational role-playing game. The use of the case method helps to create conditions for the formation of skills and abilities that are important components of intercultural competence. Educational role-playing game involves modeling situations of professionally oriented communication and aims to train future specialists of combat and operational decision-making.
