Clear political construction is the foundation of the People's Army, and clear political work will always be the lifeline of our army... "In the golden autumn season, reporters interviewed a certain detachment of the Chongqing Armed Police Corps. As soon as they entered the camp, they saw the key points of the Central Military Commission's political work conference scrolling on the electronic screen. In the conference room, Miao Qiangzheng, a cadre of the detachment, discussed and exchanged ideas with the officers and soldiers on how to further deepen the study and implementation of the conference spirit. Regularly focusing on the study of the Party's innovative theories is a microcosm of the detachment's deepening efforts in political ability training. To enhance the consciousness and thoroughness of ideological transformation, for grassroots officers and soldiers, it is necessary to focus on theoretical learning, which is the largest, most frequent, and practical political ability training, "said Miao Qiang when talking to reporters about his experience. It is reported that the detachment puts political ability as the top priority and trains it in the first place. Combining with work, it carries out political ability training seriously and guides officers and soldiers to polish their political vision and forge absolute loyalty in every word, action, and detail. Political ability training is a 'big issue', how did this team break through the problem and make efforts in practice? The reporter conducted an interview while contemplating this question. Target guidance and training are essential to avoid going off the beaten track - "Finding bottlenecks, hitting the drum, and correcting ideological deviations are always the focus of training. Everyone agrees that the work deployment made by the superiors, without conditions or discounts, resolutely implements it, which itself is a test of political ability. Afterwards, they strictly followed the requirements of their superiors and began practical exploration based on their own reality. Among the various abilities required to do a good job, political ability comes first, and this skill enhancement training cannot have outsiders or bystanders The leader of the detachment told reporters that they had previously limited the training to a specific group of leading cadres, and after a period of training, the political ability of the "key few" had been improved. Later, when summarizing their experience, they analyzed and found that the officers and soldiers of the detachment were responsible for tasks such as guarding and guarding, armed patrols, etc. They were on duty under the "spotlight" and standing guard under the "magnifying glass" all year round, constantly facing political tests. Strengthening the political shaping of young officers and soldiers was equally urgent. On the basis of research and demonstration, the detachment gradually expanded political ability training to all officers and soldiers in accordance with the idea of "expanding to practice, transforming to performance, and extending to grassroots", and selected the Chengkou Squadron to carry out pilot work, striving to provide a "reference system" for other units to implement. Finding the bottleneck, hitting the drum accurately, and correcting ideological deviations are always the focus of training. We will conduct targeted training on the ideological tendencies that officers and soldiers are prone to Miao Qiang told reporters that in accordance with the principle of "one soldier, one soldier, one political belief, one word, one action to demonstrate political responsibility, one post, one sentry to uphold political stance, one person, one matter to reflect political ethics, and one step at a time to implement political requirements" proposed by the superiors, they closely monitor the emerging hidden dangers, systematically design training content, adjust and optimize training methods, and gradually bring political ability training to the end and deepen it. Recently, the detachment organized officers and soldiers to enter the Chengkou Memorial Hall in the Sichuan Shaanxi Soviet Area, guiding everyone to examine and analyze themselves against revolutionary predecessors, strengthen their enterprising spirit, and stimulate their enthusiasm for struggle. Influenced by the 'lying flat' ideology, the spirit of hard work and endurance has weakened, and the enthusiasm is insufficient. When faced with difficulties, they always want to take a detour and lack the motivation to overcome them. After returning to the camp, the officers and soldiers conducted a thorough investigation of the revolutionary predecessors' party spirit and work style, and drew up a list to formulate rectification measures one by one. After a period of targeted reinforcement training, the spirit of the officers and soldiers has been rejuvenated, and their enthusiasm for work and entrepreneurship has become even higher. Finding the right method is key to achieving twice the result with half the effort in training - "using training thinking, methods, and intensity to hone strong political abilities". In the process of exploring the path of political ability training methods, the team once hesitated at a low level of training due to improper methods and inaccurate focus. Military training has the characteristics of cyclical cycles and gradual abilities, and political ability training can also refer to the laws of military training and adopt refined management measures to ensure long-term effectiveness During a record breaking training event, Qiao Tiangang, a cadre of the detachment, shared his experience with military training practice and unexpectedly opened up everyone's thinking. The logic of military training and political ability training is interconnected. The path worth trying is to hone strong political abilities through training thinking, methods, and intensity The leader of the detachment said that after a period of exploration, they have designed five training methods based on the actual system of "learning, speaking, discernment, governance, and defense", and refined them into 15 specific training measures one by one. They have integrated political ability training into various aspects of military construction and management, and solved the "major issues" of the times in daily details. On this basis, they quantitatively scored dozens of items such as officers and soldiers' performance of duties and responsibilities, compliance with rules and discipline, and daily cultivation, and drew curve charts and bar charts based on the scores of each comrade; Based on clear and intuitive data, assess the situation of political ability training, evaluate training effectiveness, and research and improve training methods. In the first half of the year, Sergeant Yu Chunfu was deducted points due to several minor issues while on duty, and the related scoring curve fluctuated. Originally, Yu Chunfu was accidentally injured during early training and has not been able to recover after treatment. He is worried that he may drag down the unit in the rotation assessment of diligent training, resulting in mistakes during duty. My reference will inevitably affect the performance of the unit, so I want to apply for leave to 'avoid' the assessment Yu Chunfu's words made the cadres of his squadron keenly capture the "danger signal". They organized officers and soldiers to discuss topics such as "evading training and assessment" and "temporarily piecing together" top performers for martial arts competitions ", guiding everyone to gradually clarify vague understandings through analysis. The idea of maintaining collective honor is worthy of recognition, but we cannot add 'water' to the training results of the unit. If the assessment lags behind, we can catch up through strong training. If there is a lack of morale in the task, how can we win? We cannot let erroneous ideas spread and breed just for one ranking. "In the intense ideological collision, the officers and soldiers unified their thoughts and put forward suggestions and strategies around strengthening the foundation and filling the gaps. Later, when the higher authorities organized regular training and rotation assessments, the officers and soldiers of the detachment joined in with high morale. At the end of the assessment, everyone developed a strong training plan based on the exposed shortcomings, and strictly implemented it in conjunction with the stage training tasks. Finally, they achieved a beautiful "turnaround" in the third quarter assessment. Practice verification, integration of training and application - "Political ability training focuses on accumulating small details, and must step on every step of deepening transformation" - once, the higher-level inspection team conducted a surprise inspection of the detachment. The inspection team members have comprehensively understood the performance and responsibility of cadres, the compliance and discipline of officers and soldiers, the management of vehicles and equipment, and the construction of unit culture, and have not found any problems. The key to political ability training lies in accumulating small details, and every step of deepening transformation must be taken solidly Miao Qiang told reporters that under the guidance of higher-level business departments, they have formed a checklist for distinguishing between party members and ordinary officers and soldiers in terms of work evaluation, effectiveness assessment, and ability assessment, strengthening the comprehensive evaluation of political ability, and linking the evaluation results with cadre appointment, police officer selection and promotion, party membership assessment, commendation and reward work, as an important basis for personnel selection, assessment and evaluation, and implementation of rewards and punishments. The reporter walked into the honor room of a certain squadron of the detachment, and the "2023 Squadron Honor Memoirs" came into view: First Class Sergeant Qin Jiahuan was commended as the first outstanding police officer of the People's Armed Police Force, Corporal Li Guangpeng won second place in the military sports meeting organized by the headquarters, and the emergency team was awarded the "Collective Third Class Merit"... The annual report card of a squadron has become a vivid footnote to the effectiveness of the political ability training of the detachment. Last year, the officers and soldiers of this squadron participated in armed patrols, checkpoint surveillance, and emergency rescue missions multiple times Miao Qiang said that every time they carry out tasks, the officers and soldiers are full of spirit and high morale, vigorously promoting the spirit of loyalty, dedication, bravery and fearlessness, and winning praise from all levels with their excellent skills and professional qualities. Last winter, while performing patrol duties with his comrades, Li Han, a cadre of the detachment, discovered an emotionally agitated woman walking towards a deep water area. In a moment of desperation, he quickly took off his gear and jumped into the river to rescue him. Several comrades saw the situation and followed closely, working together to rescue the woman. No matter how heavy the task is, party work will not be relaxed; The troops are further dispersed, and the management of party members is constantly changing The leader of the detachment said that they have summarized their experience, focused on the conditions for mobilization and dispersion, and regularly carried out practical activities such as "waving the Party flag on the front line, building fortresses on the front line, and Party members rushing on the front line". Through regular political experience, they have filled the political capacity gaps of officers and soldiers, especially Party members and cadres; Motivate party members and cadres to fully play the role of pioneers and models, lead officers and soldiers to become strong and capable, and transform the results of political ability training into practical military training; Grasp the key role of the Party branch secretary, strengthen responsibility and shoulder the mission, play the role of a "leading goose", and forge a stronger and more combat effective fortress.
