From the change of medals of "Langyashan five strong men company" of an army brigade in the southern theater to see the change of army training concept—— Let science and technology empower combat effectiveness ■ PLA Daily reporter Chen Dianhong, Li Haoran, correspondent Zhang Taiyao Hao Chenhua In the "Langyashan five strong men company" of an army brigade in the southern theater, there is a lush "honor forest". Officers and soldiers who win or are commended by the brigade and above can plant an exclusive "gold medal tree" here and hang a gold nameplate with achievements. On that day, amid the cheers of his comrades in arms, Wu Wenjun, a first-class staff sergeant of the company, hung a second "gold medal" on his "gold medal tree". After being rated as "one hundred good squad leaders" by the theater army in 2018, he successfully obtained the professional skill appraisal certificate of army light weapons shooter technician last year. For Wu Wenjun, the second "gold medal" is more significant because it witnessed the transformation of a traditional infantry to a scientific and technological elite. The transformation began with Wu Wenjun's defeat in the "sharpshooter" contest of the brigade last year. In that contest, the brigade authorities greatly improved the assessment methods in response to the actual combat requirements, increased the contents closer to the actual combat, including special situation disposal and night shooting, and highlighted the application of new equipment. This made Wu Wenjun, who did not pay enough attention to the training of new equipment, lose his halberd and sink into the sand. Watching "rising stars" score higher scores, Wu Wenjun suddenly realized that if he was still immersed in previous experience and stopped and ignored the mastery and application of new equipment, the gap between himself and them would only widen. He would not only fail to win the gold medal, but also face the risk of being eliminated. Wu Wenjun, an "old infantry", launched a new charge: on the one hand, he took the initiative to learn to use new equipment, and new telescopes and observatories became the focus of his night training; On the other hand, with the help of laser aiming auxiliary training system, somatosensory interaction software and other technical actions to improve professional ability. With the help of science and technology, Wu Wenjun's professional achievements have improved by leaps and bounds in less than half a year. In the professional skill appraisal of the army light weapons shooter technician, he successfully obtained the professional skill appraisal certificate of the light weapons shooter technician with solid theoretical foundation, excellent shooting performance and first-class teaching level. Wu Wenjun is not alone in seeking combat effectiveness from science and technology in the "five strong men's company of Langya Mountain". There are more and more "new faces" in the "honor forest": Rao zepeng, the monitor of the eighth squad, generated a scientific training plan with the help of "sports AI analysis software", and was rated as "excellent coach" in the military competition and assessment of military sports coaches in the theater army; First class soldier Li qianggang used the "smart Gym" software to analyze body data, conducted intensive training for different muscle groups, and created the highest score of the whole brigade at the military sports meeting of the brigade The "honor forest" of the "five strong men's company of Langya Mountain" has more "science and technology +", which is an epitome of the brigade's transformation of training concept and scientific and technological military training. Since the reform and adjustment, the brigade has changed from a traditional motorized infantry brigade to a new synthetic brigade, and has been newly organized into new tasks, which puts forward new requirements for individual capability. The chief of staff of the brigade told reporters that in the past, they valued running fast, throwing far and hitting accurately in military training; Now, in addition to the above-mentioned capabilities, officers and soldiers must also be able to connect, communicate, command and coordinate, so as to become combat talents with one specialty and multiple abilities. "Only by improving the scientific and technological content of training and the scientific and technological literacy of officers and soldiers can we constantly refresh the 'threshold' of combat effectiveness." Following this concept, the brigade explored and innovated "science and technology +" network + "and other training methods, established a clear guidance of training benefits from science and technology, and promoted the transformation and upgrading of training. At the same time, they also rebuilt and expanded the simulation training room, gradually improved the application modules such as digital parking lot and medical service information system, promoted the supporting construction of "smart military camp", and provided scientific and technological support for comprehensively improving the training support capacity. In this brigade, more and more new pictures of scientific and technological military training are presented in front of us: the air defense battalion uses VR glasses to simulate the actual combat environment, controls surface to air missiles and directly smashes the "enemy aircraft"; The UAV model flight class simulates the flight training of the air force, quickly switches the flight mode and independently selects the attack mode; The ECM company optimizes the communication countermeasure simulation system and strengthens the communication reconnaissance, jamming and interception capability in complex battlefield environment; The information support team builds a simulation machine, moves the check-in training out of the main computer room, and realizes the simultaneous transfer of multi-channel phones Reporter's comments Change of concept helps transformation and upgrading ■ Li Haoran "Heroic companies train heroic soldiers." The lush "honor forest" of the "Langyashan five heroes company" of a brigade of the army in the southern theater condenses the course of this heroic model company's pursuit of victory; The shining "gold medals" record the fighting moments of officers and soldiers who dare to fight, bleed and sweat. In the midst of it, compared with the past and the present, the reporter strongly felt the surging pulse of military training in science and technology in the new era. In this year's training mobilization order, President Xi called on the whole army to accurately grasp the changes in national security and military struggle, pay close attention to the changes in science and technology, war and opponents, vigorously promote the coupling of war and training, vigorously promote systematic military training, vigorously promote scientific and technological military training, comprehensively promote the transformation and upgrading of military training, and train elite troops who can fight and be good at war. How can an army with a glorious history move towards a brilliant future? The company has given its own answer: insist on the combat effectiveness of scientific and technological innovation, and make scientific and technological training a powerful engine for the improvement of combat effectiveness. This enlightens us that we should be good at introducing and using the latest scientific and technological achievements, highlight the training of new equipment, new forces and new fields, and let science and technology empower military training, combat effectiveness construction and war preparation. Only in this way can an elite and powerful force capable of fighting and good at fighting carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future and always be in the forefront of winning!
