The Purpose of the Work was to study the importance of cognitive qualities in the structure of professional training of military personnel. Research Methodology. The work uses theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, the method of sociological survey (questionnaire), methods of mathematical statistics. 155 participants of advanced training courses and 29 physical training and sports instructors were involved in the experiment. An expert assessment of the importance of cognitive indicators in the professional and applied training of military personnel was carried out. A comparative analysis of the answers of physical training and sports instructors and participants of professional development courses was carried out. Research Results. The most important cognitive qualities, according to the instructors, are logical thinking (4,69 ± 0,11 points), long-term memory (4,66 ± 0,11 points), concentration of attention (4,62 ± 0,13 points), stability and the ability to switch attention (4,59 ± 0,13 points). Participants of professional development courses believe that the most important qualities are logical thinking (4,34 ± 0,07 points), persistence (4,32 ± 0,07 points) and concentration of attention (4,32 ± 0,07 points).
