ABSTRACT
The article considers specifics of health-preserving culture of family members of serviceman and parameters of its sociological assessment. It is proved that military personnel consider family as social element of military collective and at the same time as sociocultural subsystem of military unit. The latter determines subordination of sociocultural interests of serviceman family to interests of development of military organization, which manifests itself as a factor complicating development, strengthening contradictions in system of health-preserving culture of this family. It is proved that in modern conditions it is necessary to strengthen state regulation of processes of formation of health-preserving culture of family of serviceman by inclusion in system of existing programs of physical culture and sports of military units of entire serviceman family, activation of interaction of military health experts in order to develop knowledge, formation of specific norms, rules of health-preserving behavior of family of military personnel; by provision of organizational, sociocultural, economic conditions for self-development of culture of health-preserving behavior of family members of serviceman; by activation of external social control, expansion and improvement of effectiveness of army social services, prevention and suppression of destructive health behavioral practices not only of serviceman, but also of his family members.
