In the desert Gobi, a certain army Department organized multi arms cross domain mobility and three-dimensional attack and defense; Over the East China Sea, the j-20 fighter formation thundered forward to carry out practical exercises in the direction of the sea; In the Western Pacific Ocean, the aircraft carrier formation of Liaoning warships has cut waves and tempered its ability to fight in the open sea... On the occasion of the 95th birthday of the people's army, we can really feel the profound changes brought to the army by the reform and strengthening of the army through the pictures of the storm on the training ground of the three armed forces. A strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army must reform. In November, 2015, at the beginning of the auspicious snow in the capital, the reform work conference of the Central Military Commission was held. President Xi Jinping issued a mobilization order to deepen the reform of national defense and the army to the whole army: comprehensively implement the strategy of building a strong military through reform and unswervingly follow the road of building a strong military with Chinese characteristics. In the history of our army, the unprecedented overall and revolutionary changes in strength, depth and breadth began. The spring tide surges, and the torrent advances bravely. The organizational structure of our army has achieved historic changes, the road of elite troops with Chinese characteristics has taken historic steps, and the system of socialist military policy and system with Chinese characteristics is becoming more and more complete... Today, the people's army, which has been reborn, is accelerating towards the goal of a world-class Army with the momentum of rapid progress. In strategic planning, it is often a sharp and powerful ideological lever that wins the future and leverages history. Standing on the new time coordinate point, we look back on the reform process of national defense and the army again, and look back on the holistic and revolutionary reconstruction and reconstruction brought by this round of reform to the people's army. We have a deeper sense of the profound historical vision, broad strategic considerations and strong mission of the military commander. The time was set back to November 15, 2012. Just after the conclusion of the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi presided over the first executive meeting of the New Military Commission, which clearly pointed out that we should always forge ahead in the spirit of reform and innovation and strive to seize the initiative in military competition. More than 20 days later, President Xi came to Guangdong, the forefront of China's reform and opening up, inspected the Haikou ship at Shekou port in Shenzhen and sailed with the ship for 4 hours. "President Xi has high hopes for reforming and strengthening the military and building a strong navy." Ten years later, when President Xi Jinping inspected, Shan Donghui, the captain of Haikou warship, still remembered the scene of overlooking the sea; The Admiral's earnest advice always haunted the Navy officers and men. Today, the group photo of President Xi and the sailors in the bow of the ship is displayed in the Military History Museum of the detachment where the Haikou ship is located, which always encourages officers and soldiers to strive for strength in the sea. If you can't make the sea, you must make it. More than 100 years ago, the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895 was an extremely painful "national war" in modern Chinese history, which was called "the pain of gouging out the heart" by President Xi. Look at history and reality. In the second decade of the 21st century, China has become the second largest economy in the world. However, the road from big to strong is doomed to be uneven. Looking around the world, the international pattern and system are undergoing profound adjustments, the global governance system is undergoing profound changes, and the international balance of power is undergoing the most revolutionary changes since modern times. In this unprecedented great change, the new military revolution in the world, which is essentially to compete for strategic initiative, has developed in depth. Major countries have adjusted their security strategies, military strategies, and military organizational forms. Its speed, scope, depth, and impact are rare since the end of the Second World War. "Once the military backwardness is formed, the impact on national security will be fatal. I often read some historical materials in modern China, and it hurts my heart to see the tragic scene of backwardness being beaten!" President Xi warned the whole army that the new military revolution provided us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must hit the water in the middle stream. We can't do it if we don't change it or if we slow it down. This is a big test we cannot avoid. The army must hand over a qualified answer to the party, the people and history. Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and those who work hard are the first. Focusing on the multiple considerations of history and reality, international and domestic, war and peace, a blueprint for profound changes in the future of the people's army has been brewing in the commander's heart. "What I think most is whether our army can always adhere to the absolute leadership of the party, whether it can rise and win wars, and whether commanders at all levels can lead and direct wars when the party and the people need it." At an important military meeting, President Xi's words were deafening. This is the examination of the times and the pursuit of the mission. Examination and questioning come from deep insight into the risks and challenges on the way forward, It also comes from a clear understanding of our military's capabilities and shortcomings - "there is a big gap between our military's modernization level and the needs of national security, and between our military's modernization level and the world's advanced military level." "our military's ability to fight modern wars is not enough, and cadres at all levels are not able to command modern wars." "without reform, we can't fight wars and win wars"... National rejuvenation is on my mind; Building a strong army haunts us day and night. President Xi profoundly pointed out that we must deepen the reform of national defense and the army with greater wisdom and courage. This is the requirement of the times to realize the Chinese dream and the dream of building a strong military. It is the only way to build a strong military, and it is also a key move to determine the future of the military. Plan the layout, and make a sound. For the first time in the history of the party, the general secretary of the party personally served as the leader of the leading group for deepening national defense and military reform. This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895. After two Jiazi, the Chinese Army embarked on a new starting point of reform and strengthening. "The easy and happy reform has been completed, the delicious meat has been eaten, and the rest are hard bones." In the face of the tough battle of national defense and military reform, President Xi Jinping encouraged the officers and soldiers of the whole army: the more difficult it is, the more determined it is to move forward bravely, and never look ahead and backward and be timid. As long as the whole army unifies its will, dares to gnaw hard bones, dares to wade in dangerous beaches, there is no flame mountain that cannot be crossed! At the critical moment, the Supreme Commander's strategic vision and political determination are the decisive factors for the success of the reform. Focusing on promoting the reform of national defense and the army, President Xi presided over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee twice and the reform leading group meeting of the Central Military Commission three times. He listened to the opinions and suggestions on the reform of large units face to face many times and personally organized the study of major reform issues. Where are the institutional obstacles? What are the structural contradictions? How many policy issues are there? A number of reform special groups and expert advisory groups conducted extensive research, concentrated their wisdom, and repeatedly demonstrated - more than 690 military and civilian units, more than 800 symposiums and demonstration meetings, more than 900 in-service and retired military and civilian leaders and experts, more than 2000 team members of units above the military level and commanders of divisions and brigades, more than 3400 opinions of army officers and soldiers. The reform plan has undergone more than 150 adjustments, modifications, and improvements before and after... National defense and military reform is related to the overall situation The whole country pays attention to it. From within the military to outside the military, from the central government to the local government, all regions and departments have given strong support to deepening the research, demonstration and scheme formulation of national defense and military reform, forming a moving situation in which the party, government, military and people work together to participate in the reform. The national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the national defense science, technology and Industry Bureau actively participated in the reform demonstration; The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of civil affairs, and the Ministry of human resources and social security carried out in-depth research on the management and security reform of veterans... Working day and night, the Reform Office of the Central Military Commission carried out high-intensity, high-density, and large-scale research. Opinions and suggestions from all sides, like a clear spring, inject fresh vitality into the plan. In July 2015, President Xi presided over the third plenary meeting of the CMC reform leading group, which reviewed and approved in principle the proposal for the overall plan for deepening national defense and military reform. Subsequently, President Xi presided over the executive meeting of the Central Military Commission and the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to review and approve the overall plan. A set of reform designs that solve deep-seated contradictions, make major innovations and breakthroughs, and embody the characteristics of the people's army have emerged from the cocoon. The "three battles" are magnificent. Some moments are destined to be unforgettable, and some events are destined to go down in history. In the snowy midsummer, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the harsh alarm cuts through the tranquility of a brigade camp of the 76th group army. Personnel gathering, unsealing equipment, loading formation... A full staff and full equipment pull drill kicked off. Looking at the new barracks in front of him, which integrates command, training, life, support and other functions, the commander of the company where Qiu Shaoyun lived, dun zhibading, really felt the strength of the reform: when the company moved thousands of miles from the Hexi Corridor five years ago, it was still a desolate Gobi. Reform affects the hearts of every officer and soldier. "What is discipline like iron, that is, the party can do whatever it says." As a witness and witness, dun zhibading is well aware of the difficulty of relocation and the pain of reform, "but no matter how difficult and painful it is, it is also necessary to act vigorously and act upon orders". This is a historic moment: at 0:00 on January 16, 2016, the seven military regions of Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu ceased to exercise command, and the eastern, southern, western, northern and central five war regions began to operate. It was as fast as thunder and lightning. In less than a month, 15 functional departments of the Central Military Commission were adjusted and established, and the army leadership, the rocket force and the strategic support force were established. The reform of the leadership and command system took a huge step forward. Focusing on implementing the requirements of political military building in the new situation, promoting the organic unity of leadership and effective command of the army, and deepening the reform of national defense and the army, the "first major campaign" starts with breaking the headquarters system, the military region system and the Continental Army system. The first important move is to build a leadership and command system that "the Military Commission is in charge of the headquarters, the theater is in charge of the main battle, and the military services are in charge of the construction". The headquarters system, which has been running for decades, became history overnight. Among them, the number of institutions above the division level has been reduced by more than 200, and the number of personnel has been reduced by one third. The operation command system of the Military Commission, the theater and the army and the leadership and management system of the Military Commission, the services and the army have been put into operation, and the long-standing institutional obstacles of the army have been effectively solved. Experts commented that the new pattern is of great significance to ensure the party's absolute leadership over the army, ensure the CMC's efficient command of the army, ensure the CMC's scientific planning and strengthen the management of army construction. The first battle laid the foundation and took advantage of the momentum. In December 2016, the Central Military Commission held a working conference on the reform of the size, structure and strength of the military in Beijing. President Xi Jinping personally deployed and launched the "second battle" to deepen the reform of national defense and the army. The reform of scale structure and force composition is not a simple "addition and subtraction method", but the optimization of structure and function leads to the adjustment of scale, focusing on solving structural contradictions and realizing the revolutionary reconstruction of our military force system. It is "slimming" and "strengthening". Throughout the history of world military development, the size, structure and power composition of the military cannot be fixed, but must change with the changes of war forms and combat methods, as well as with the changes of national strategic needs and military missions. Otherwise, the most powerful army will fall behind and even be vulnerable. On April 18, 2017, President Xi received the heads of 84 military level units newly adjusted and established by the whole army. Ten days later, the Ministry of defense revealed at a regular press conference that the 18 army group army numbers were revoked, and the 13 army group army numbers after adjustment were announced at the same time. In that reform, Qiu Shaoyun's army, like many mobile deployment troops, left the old camp stationed for more than 40 years and came to Momo
