The essential content of modeling psychological readiness for the activities of CSCG specialists is revealed in the context of theoretical analysis, which covers conceptual, structural, functional and organizational aspects of the specified readiness. Modeling is interpreted as a universal theoretical tool for studying complex psychological phenomena, which enables the systematic and visual reproduction of the deep characteristics of objects of knowledge, promotes the integration of empirical and theoretical knowledge and provides a deep understanding of the patterns of developmental functioning of the psyche in extreme conditions of everyday life. In the analyzed context, the cognitive capabilities of visual conceptual representation are clarified, which involves the formation of multi-level structures, creative comprehension of a number of subjective formations in their actual procedurality. The model of psychological readiness of CSCG specialists is presented as a multicomponent, multidimensional and dynamic system that includes motivational-value, cognitive-content, practical-operational and emotional-volitional components, and also integrates external factors and internal factors of the psychophysiological, socio-psychological, motivational and active-operational levels. The significant impact on the quality of psychological readiness of CSCG officers of worked-out extreme situations, constructive experience of interaction with the command, self-regulation of psycho-emotional stress at the personal level of being, skillful behavior in the realities of strict time constraints, etc. is argued. Attention is focused on the importance of updating psychological readiness in crisis situations and the role of special measures – individual consultations, trainings, group work, decompression practices – in maintaining the professional ability of officers of the specified control groups. The prospects for further research are determined by the experimental substantiation of the developed model of psychological readiness of officers of the specified specialization for professional activity in combat conditions.
