Education and guidance officers and soldiers at a comprehensive training base of the Xinjiang Military Region have received a military assessment notice again, stating that the commander of the second mine clearance platoon of the 13th company of a new recruits at a comprehensive training base of the Xinjiang Military Region has deviated from the normal situation and organized training according to the original plan, focusing on tackling key and difficult courses. Why is it said to be "abnormal"? Because in previous assessments, Platoon Leader Lei always chased the platoon leader for assessment standards and scoring rules, and organized targeted training for soldiers, especially for courses that were easy to deduct points and did not practice much, which was the top priority of his group training. This approach has indeed been quite effective, and as a result, Pai Li has achieved many honors. Captain Lei tasted the sweetness, and the cadres and backbone of other platoons also followed suit. However, in a recent assessment, the confident platoon leader Lei suffered a "major blow" - not to mention competing high and low on the "Dragon and Tiger List", the performance of the soldiers in the platoon was generally poor. Not only the second row, but also most of the training elites who were originally well prepared in other classes did not make it to the list. Why put in so much effort to pass the assessment, but still suffer consecutive failures on the assessment stage? General Ge, the training officer of the base, revealed the truth - in the past, the military training assessment organized by the base was distributed to various battalions and companies in advance, including assessment standards, scoring rules, general and random examination courses. Cadre backbone shall refer to the assessment rules and combine their own training situation to prepare for the exam and find the key to achieving high scores. This assessment will not only no longer issue detailed assessment rules in advance, but will also be conducted throughout the entire process in an "enemy situation" environment and tactical background, making reference officers and soldiers exclaim "unexpected". The officers and soldiers at the base are undergoing training. Taking physical fitness assessment as an example, Tan Longgui did not set a single subject score ranking. Instead, they adopted a multi subject temporary sampling and continuous implementation assessment method to comprehensively test the ability level of officers and soldiers, and used advanced technological means for invigilation. Any non-standard actions will be considered invalid. New recruit Bai Xinyu is skilled at pulling up. For this reference, he was tormented by the previous lesson and sweated profusely, even gasping for breath while standing in front of the horizontal bar. When he tried to use the equipment again, he only met the passing standard and couldn't hold on, regretfully stepping down. Similar to Bai Xinyu's experience, there is also the new recruit Wang Zhanxiang. He had just finished his physical fitness assessment and had not had time to adjust his breathing before being taken to the tactical assessment field. Wrong orientation judgment, weak enemy awareness, and non-standard shooting actions... One deduction point by one was pointed out by the examiner on site, and Wang Zhanxiang almost failed. This scenario has repeatedly occurred in this assessment. According to General Ge, it's not just about assessment. In the past, during martial arts competitions, each battalion company would also focus on understanding the rules of the competition and study in advance to determine the "seed players" who have the potential to win. Even during regular training, some officers and soldiers are accustomed to benchmarking assessment standards, resulting in only focusing on how to pass the assessment. The leader of the base told me that there is nothing wrong with competing for honor and passing assessments, but we cannot focus solely on scores and rankings. We should focus our main energy on researching rules, and then ignore practical standards and combat requirements. We should turn a blind eye to our own problems and not correct them. Obviously, Captain Lei has put in the wrong effort. At the review meeting, he was somewhat dissatisfied and believed that since there were standards and rules for the assessment, there was no problem comparing and organizing training on his own. First class sergeant Liu Junya has a different view: "The examination room is like a battlefield, but after all, it is not a battlefield. Getting a full score in the examination room does not mean that the battlefield can win. Mastering every combat skill is the hard truth. After the implementation of the new assessment method, everyone's grades have shown significant fluctuations, but it indicates that they have achieved their true level." Taking Liu Junya's words, company cadre Zhang Junxi revealed his own point of view: "Nowadays, the assessment is becoming more and more practical. While passing the examination room, we also need to think about which training difficulties have not been overcome, which training courses only stay at the passing standards specified in the outline, and which enemies will encounter on the battlefield that are not present in the examination room." After all, on the battlefield, there is only a battle between victory and defeat, life and death, and no evaluation of excellence, good, pass, or fail, The officers and soldiers present fell silent one after another. The base used this assessment as a case study to organize officers and soldiers to discuss and analyze, educate and guide everyone to clarify misunderstandings, correct ideological concepts, and strive to improve their ability to prepare for war. More and more officers and soldiers are realizing that in the past, simply saying "training for war" was not enough. It is necessary to promote "training for war" and guide everyone to train like fighting, so as to truly implement "training for war". The matter did not end here. In the following period, the base adjusted its training plan based on the training outline and combined with the professional job requirements of officers and soldiers, strengthening training in combat physical fitness, applied shooting, and battlefield emergency response; Widely setting up arena, calling on officers and soldiers to challenge each other, and incorporating the key and difficult courses that constrain the improvement of combat effectiveness into the evaluation and commendation... At the same time, the base organs reflect on themselves, identify and improve the problems in organizational competition and assessment, formulate rules that reflect practical combat requirements and standards as much as possible, make war, training, and examination more consistent, and avoid the phenomenon of "two skins".
