Dislocation kinematics equations were derived which described the temporal variation of the orientation and direction of the motion of local segments of the dislocation lines for 3-dimensional conservative translation of the dislocations in an arbitrary stress field. Equations were formulated for the problem of the statistical averaging of a dislocation ensemble in a deformed crystal.
