The content of the intraprofessional stratification of military personnel is considered. The criteria for the stratification of military personnel as a specific professional group are revealed: 1) military rank; 2) education; 3) family income; 3) prestige of the military profession. As a result of the analysis of the results of the empirical analysis, an intraprofessional stratification of military authors is presented , including three basic strata: 1) senior military specialists (officers performing military service under contract - 20-25 % of the military personnel); 2) junior military specialists (warrant officers, sergeants, privates performing military service under a contract - 60-65 % of the military personnel); 3) trained military specialists (cadets of higher military institutes of Russia performing military service under a contract - 10% of the military personnel). The necessity of developing a mechanism for constructing an increase in the quality of life of military personnel is justified, which should ensure not only their sustainable educational development, but also an increase in material content, ensuring the possibility of expanded consumption not only for them, but also for their family members.

This article examines the results of a sociological survey of a typical military organization in the city of Saratov, conducted as part of a study of the social stratification of servicemen in June 2020. The aim of the study is to identify the nature of the influence of social inequality on servicemen, based on its differentiating and integrating impact on society. The study uses the method of multidimensional stratification using a number of objective and subjective indicators of differentiation. Much attention is paid to income stratification as a key one in influencing the financial situation of servicemen. The affiliation of social and professional groups of military personnel to large income strata - upper, middle, lower - has been determined. The features of the stratification of social and professional groups are highlighted. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the application of the multidimensional stratification method to analyze the differentiation of the military collective.

Improving the functioning of a military organization involves the transformation of its functional structure in order to qualitatively protect the state from new challenges and threats to national security. Social processes in transforming societies are determined by the complication of differentiation of the social structure, the growth of "role pluralism."
