In the modern world, there are changes in all spheres of human activity, including the military. Against this background, there is an increase in the requirements for the professional training of officers, and therefore, there is a need to improve the processes of education and training of cadets. The problem of their adaptation to the specifics of professional and service activities in a military university is updated. The paper deals with the prevention of socio-psychological maladjustment of cadets. Taking into account the data obtained in the course of the study, recommendations of a psychological and pedagogical nature were developed and methods of working with cadets with a low level of development of social and professional self-determination were defined. Within the framework of preventive work, three types of measures are proposed: educational, organizational, diagnostic and correctional. It is concluded that the work aimed at the prevention of maladaptation should be holistic and systematic. At the initial stage it should include the diagnosis of the level of adaptation of cadets, while at the second stage, it is the use of a set of certain measures and methods, classes of professional and adaptive physical training.
