Firmly establish a clear orientation of focusing on war preparation —— II. Study and implement the regulations on military meritorious service and honor recognition ■ commentator of PLA Daily *** Awarding for war and rewarding war is the distinct value orientation of military meritorious service and honor recognition, and it is the focus of work that must be grasped in studying and implementing the regulations on military meritorious service and honor recognition. The three armed forces are generous and generous in their blood. Our army's meritorious service and honor recognition has been engraved with the brand of war since its establishment. The first medal of our party and army was the "red flag Medal" established in 1931, which was awarded to Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other red army commanders; The first medal awarded in the name of the Central Military Commission was the "Red Star Medal" established in 1933, which was awarded to Red Army commanders and fighters with special meritorious deeds. During the war of resistance against Japan, "carry forward revolutionary heroism and strive to be a hero model", during the war of liberation, "make meritorious service for the people and be a meritorious Minister of the people", and during the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, "show determination to make meritorious service, draw up meritorious plans and compare the achievements of killing the enemy", all gave birth to a hundred times the courage of the army to kill the enemy. War practice has repeatedly proved that the work of honoring meritorious deeds is an important magic weapon and fine tradition for our army to overcome and win victories. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our army has strongly focused on rewards and commendations, launched a number of heroic models determined to prepare for war and strengthen the army, and promoted the army to form a strong atmosphere of wanting to fight, planning to fight and winning. In the face of the current complex and severe security situation, the military meritorious service and honor recognition work needs to adapt to the evolution of war, strengthen war orientation, and deepen reform and innovation. The regulations focus on winning information-based local wars with intelligent characteristics, highlight wartime, generals and meritorious deeds, set up wartime medals, expand wartime honorary titles, improve wartime reward items, enrich wartime commemorative medals, implement high meritorious deeds and preferential treatment for war achievements, and create a reward and incentive system for war, service and encouragement. Light the fire of honor and illuminate the road of charge. All levels should conscientiously study and master the provisions on meritorious service and honor recognition, integrate them into war preparedness education and exercises, do a good job in publicity and interpretation, widely publicize the advanced deeds of combat heroes and meritorious service winners in the history of our army, and guide and encourage officers and soldiers to make meritorious service in the battlefield. We should adhere to the standard of combat effectiveness, promote the focus of meritorious service and honor recognition to the front line of war preparation, major tasks and central work, and improve the contribution rate to war preparation. We should cultivate and select a number of advanced models who have made meritorious contributions to war and made preparations for war, vigorously stimulate the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the vast number of officers and men to devote themselves to war, plan war carefully and concentrate on war training, comprehensively forge excellent troops who can fight and win wars, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.
