Strive to open up a new era and create a new situation in the construction of the ranks of soldiers —— Leaders of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission answered reporters' questions on studying and implementing the "Interim Regulations for non commissioned officers", "Interim Regulations for conscripts" and relevant supporting regulations ■ Yang Guangyin, Li Bin, PLA Daily reporter Zhang Lin Promoting the modernization of soldiers is the due meaning of the modernization of military personnel Q: please introduce the background and significance of the implementation of the new soldier system. A: Our Army established and implemented the compulsory military service system in 1955 and began to implement the military service system of combining conscripts and volunteers in 1978. In particular, after the two non commissioned officer system reforms in 1999 and 2009, the soldier system has been continuously improved, which has injected vitality into the construction of the soldier team. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, with the in-depth advancement of national defense and military modernization, there is an urgent need to adapt to the new situation and new tasks and comprehensively adjust and optimize the soldier system. First, it is an important measure to thoroughly implement the strategy of strengthening the army with talents in the new era. Fully understand and implement President Xi's important exposition on talent work, closely contact the situation, tasks and contradictions faced by the construction of the ranks of soldiers, and find out the specific starting points and methods of implementation. In particular, solidify the important instructions repeatedly stressed by President Xi on strengthening the work of College Students' soldiers, improving the professional level of the ranks of non commissioned officers, and innovating the system of non commissioned officers into policy design and system regulations, Promote the effective implementation of the strategy of strengthening the army with talents in the new era in the construction of the ranks of soldiers. Second, there is an urgent need to speed up the laying of a solid foundation for the generation of combat effectiveness. The foundation of the army lies in the soldiers, and the foundation of combat effectiveness also lies in the soldiers. Soldiers are at the forefront of equipment operation and maintenance and in the front line of military struggle preparation. They are the main force preparing for war. This reform is to take the ability to fight and win wars as the starting point and foothold of building the ranks of soldiers, accelerate the recruitment and gathering of high-quality talents, accelerate the training of craftsmen for building and strengthening a strong army in all aspects, step up the training and forging of war elite soldiers to deter and defeat the enemy, and provide a reliable guarantee for accumulating talent advantages and winning modern wars. Third, it is an important part of comprehensively promoting the modernization of military personnel. As an important part of military human resources, non commissioned officers and conscripts should promote the modernization of soldiers. This reform focuses on achieving the Centennial goal of building the army. In accordance with the requirements of the construction of new military talents, closely focus on promoting the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the ability and quality, structural layout, development and management of the soldiers, systematically design the systems of entry, training, examination, promotion, transfer, exit and treatment guarantee, and accelerate the overall leap in the construction level of the soldiers. Fourth, practical steps to effectively improve the development and management efficiency of soldiers. Efficiency is the core of military management revolution. This reform focuses on people, focuses on people, takes efficiency as the core and accuracy as the guidance, changes management concepts, methods and methods, optimizes the institutional environment of fairness and justice, selects the best and eliminates the bad, improves the quality and efficiency of construction management, and stimulates the internal vitality and majestic force of soldiers who are determined to build a strong army and win the war to the greatest extent. Q: please introduce the overall consideration and main process of the reform of the soldier system. Gather the wisdom of all parties and strive to build the new soldier system into a backbone system of human resources to support a strong army and win the war. First, adhere to the fundamental principle. Second, we should focus on fighting. By broadening supplementary channels, improving incentive methods for selection and appointment, improving the training system for war, and optimizing the allocation mechanism of emergency talents, we will effectively strengthen the main force in preparing for war. Third, adhere to the problem orientation. Focus on building a basic backbone team with strong combat effectiveness, and focus on solving prominent problems such as weak professional stability, weak professional ability and insufficient motivation for dedication. Fourth, adhere to system design. Coordinate the construction of incoming, training, examination, promotion, transfer and outgoing links, and do a good job in the coordination and linkage with relevant systems such as twice a year conscription and staffing adjustment, so as to ensure the same force in the same direction and resonance in the same frequency. Fifth, adhere to steady progress. Fully consider the cost and practical possibility of reform, grasp the pace of reform, and ensure the orderly connection of policies and systems and the overall stability of the team. The reform of the soldier system has been carried out since the deployment of the task of deepening the reform of national defense and the army. It has experienced a process from basic research and deepening demonstration to gradual promotion and overall introduction. In early 2019, in accordance with the requirements of the deployment of military policy and system reform, special working classes and research groups were established to substantially promote the research and formulation of the two regulations and supporting regulations. During this period, they organized many on-site investigations and listened to opinions in person, repeatedly demonstrated and compared multiple cases on important changes such as the early selection and reform of sergeants, the classification of sergeants, the setting of military ranks and the length of service of conscripts; After the formulation of the draft regulations, the opinions of various departments of the Central Military Commission, major units and relevant departments of the central and state organs were solicited. After level by level deliberation and legislative evaluation, all parties generally reached a consensus and formed the maximum common divisor. On February 28, 2022, the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted and adopted the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on the rank and grade system of soldiers in active service of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, which provided important legal support for the reform of the soldier system according to law. On March 27, with the approval of President Xi, the Interim Regulations on non commissioned officers, the Interim Regulations on conscripts and relevant supporting regulations were promulgated. The new soldier system has implemented the new requirements for the classified construction of military personnel Q: what is the overall framework of the new soldier system? A: the new series of regulations on the soldier system take the military service law as the superior law, mainly including two basic regulations and relevant supporting regulations. The two "Regulations" are basic laws and regulations, which are used to regulate the basic service system of sergeants and conscripts; Supporting laws and regulations on the recruitment of non commissioned officers, the management of non commissioned officers' career development, soldiers' retirement, transformation and transition, etc. are used to support the smooth operation of the new system. In the later stage, professional normative documents such as soldier management, vocational skill appraisal and Sergeant assessment will be formulated and issued successively. These laws and regulations, together with the regulations on conscription, the regulations on the placement of ex servicemen, and the relevant treatment and guarantee policies on soldiers' wages, housing, medical treatment and preferential treatment, form a systematic and complete soldier system. Q: please introduce the construction orientation and main considerations of sergeants and conscripts. A: in this reform, we will implement the new requirements for the classified construction of military personnel, and properly position, build and use sergeants and conscripts as separate teams. In terms of the positioning of sergeant construction, adapt to the new situation of expanding the functions and missions of sergeants, make it clear that Sergeants are the backbone of combat and equipment operation and maintenance, and the basic backbone of military construction and military struggle preparation, and take this as the logical starting point for the design of various policies and systems of sergeants. This definition highlights the professional characteristics of non commissioned officers, highlights the functional role of non commissioned officers in the army's war preparation, technical support, organization and training, education and management, and provides a basis for determining the status, honor, career development, treatment and rights of non commissioned officers. In terms of the construction orientation of conscripts, we should stick to the service attributes and characteristics and laws, focus on providing basic support for the modernization of military personnel, and clearly put forward that conscripts are ordinary combatants, the basic source of sergeants, an important channel for officers to supplement, and have a basic position in the construction of military talents. Based on this, we systematically design the service management system of conscripts. This definition clarifies the identity attribute of conscripts and highlights the important "source" role in military human resources, which is conducive to the growth and development of conscripts. Q: what changes have been made to the title of sergeant rank? A: in this reform, the "non commissioned officer" will be renamed "Sergeant", and the "three grades and seven grades" of the military rank will not be changed. Only the titles of grade four chief sergeant and staff sergeant of intermediate non commissioned officers will be adjusted to grade one staff sergeant and grade two staff sergeant of intermediate non commissioned officers. The specific setting of the rank of sergeant is as follows: Senior Sergeant has three ranks of first sergeant, second sergeant and third sergeant, intermediate sergeant has two ranks of first sergeant and second sergeant, and junior sergeant has two ranks of sergeant and corporal. In this way, the title of "chief Sergeant" is all placed in the sequence of Senior Sergeant, and the hierarchical relationship of military rank is more clear, which is conducive to strengthening hierarchical management and stimulating the sense of honor and pride of the sergeant team. Q: how is the classified management system of sergeants designed? A: this time, the classification of sergeant ranks has been improved, focusing on three aspects: the classification of sergeant ranks has been improved. According to the post responsibilities and work nature, generals and Sergeants are divided into management sergeants and skilled sergeants, clarify the functional positioning and responsibility interface, and design the service management system. Second, improve the post establishment and military rank system. Establish a directory of sergeant posts, prepare the rank levels of each post in a differentiated manner, and scientifically regulate the number, scale and structural proportion of the sergeant team, so as to make the growth path of all kinds of sergeants more smooth. Third, establish a post qualification system. Based on the classified management of sergeants, clarify the employment standards, enhance the standardization and accuracy of the allocation and use of sergeants, and realize the organic unity of post requirements and personnel selection and employment. Q: what are the adjustments and changes in the source channels of sergeant supplement? A: this reform focuses on attracting more excellent talents. According to the principles of diverse channels, clear functions, different emphases and complementary advantages, we will expand the three "Entrances" of the non commissioned officers team: in the selection and reform of conscripts, we will focus on undertaking the provisions on the selection and reform of non commissioned officers with particularly excellent performance in the military service law, clarify the specific conditions, and let good Miao Zi enter the non commissioned officers team as soon as possible. In terms of local recruitment, the recruitment of sergeants is divided into three ways: direct recruitment, targeted training and special recruitment, and the standard conditions and procedures are specifically standardized. In the training of military colleges and universities, we will gradually explore new ways for military colleges and universities to select and recruit growing sergeant students from high school graduates, expand the training mode and optimize the quality structure. Q: how is the whole process selection mechanism for sergeants designed? A: break the current "walking in unison" mode according to a fixed number of years, build an open and fair talent selection and employment mechanism dominated by ability, selecting the best from the best, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm for service. First, optimize the policy of awarding and grading. In the continuation of the current large
