In July 2023, specialists from the Kirov Military Medical Academy together with Vietnamese specialists of the Russian–Vietnamese Tropical Center, conducted a pilot psychological and psychophysiological examination of naval specialists of the Navy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to study the characteristics of cognitive mental processes (attention, memory, and thinking), motivational and personal qualities, and expert assessments of the success of military-professional adaptation. Statistically significant relationships between expert assessments of professional success and the level of development of cognitive mental processes, characteristics of the motivational sphere, neuropsychic stability, and psychological adaptation characteristics have been identified. The results showed sufficient validity and reliability of the methodological apparatus used for assessing cognitive mental processes and personal psychological adaptive abilities in relation to assessing their relationship with the success of military-professional adaptation, an effective solution of professional and service tasks. The possibility and prospect of considering them in professional psychological selection and medical and psychological (psychophysiological) support of professional activities, examination, and, if necessary, subsequent medical and psychological rehabilitation of naval specialists of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to maintain a high level of their professional health, as well as the need for further research.
