The army is prepared for war
The military is prepared to fight, and must focus on being able to fight and win, seize strong opponents, innovate military strategic guidance, develop people's war strategies and tactics, comprehensively strengthen training and preparation, firmly and flexibly carry out military struggles, effectively shape the situation, control crises, contain wars, and win wars.
The entire army, with firm willpower, flexible strategic strategies, and strong military actions, resolutely upholds national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and has withstood complex situations and severe struggles.
The scientific accuracy of military strategy is the greatest chance of victory. We must unwaveringly adhere to the concept of active defense strategy, enhance the enterprising and proactive nature of military strategic guidance, actively adapt to the transformation of the basic points of military struggle preparation, and integrate preparation and cessation of war, deterrence and actual combat, war operations and the use of military power in peacetime as a whole to shape the security situation, contain crises and conflicts, and win local wars.Soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory, and the magic weapon of people's war must never be lost. We must grasp the new characteristics and requirements of people's war in the new era, innovate and develop people's war strategies and tactics, and fully leverage the overall power of people's war.
Firmly establish combat effectiveness as the only fundamental standard. The rust of thought is more terrifying than the rust of firearms. Emphasizing combat effectiveness standards is a requirement for effectively fulfilling the fundamental functions of our army, as well as a requirement for improving the quality and efficiency of military construction. We must adhere to making improving combat effectiveness the starting point and foothold of all aspects of the military's construction, measure and test all work based on whether it is conducive to improving combat effectiveness, resolutely eliminate the accumulated drawbacks of peace, and comprehensively improve our readiness for war in the new era.
The ability of the military to fight and win is a decisive factor in command. Command confrontation plays an unprecedented role in modern warfare. We must establish and strengthen joint combat command institutions at the military commission and theater level in accordance with the principles and requirements of integrating peace and war, operating normally, specializing in main operations, and being efficient and efficient. Optimize the joint combat command system, promote reconnaissance and early warning, joint strike, battlefield support, comprehensive support system and capacity building, accelerate the improvement of joint combat capabilities and overall combat capabilities. All levels, especially senior commanders, should focus on studying military affairs, war, and warfare, develop strong skills, and lead a strong army.
"Those who speak with military readiness, practice is the most important." When fighting hard, training must be practical and practical. Strengthen practical military training, adhere to the principle of leading training through combat, deepen research on war and combat issues, innovate combat concepts and training methods. We need to strengthen practical adversarial training, highlight the focus on key topics, specialize and refine, and improve training levels and practical combat capabilities. We need to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of military training and actively seek the initiative in future wars.
In a sense, fighting is about providing security. Efforts will be made to build logistics for the sake of war, deepen logistical preparations for military struggles, accelerate the construction of modern military logistics systems and modern asset management systems, and accelerate the high-quality development of modern logistics. Weapons and equipment are important symbols of the modernization of the military. It is necessary to improve and accelerate the construction of weapons and equipment, accelerate the construction of a weapon and equipment system that adapts to information warfare and fulfills mission requirements, accelerate the construction of a modern management system for weapons and equipment, strengthen the practical application of weapons and equipment, and truly make equipment come to life and move forward.
War is not only a material competition, but also a spiritual competition. War is always a narrow encounter where the brave win. Daring to struggle and win, fearing neither hardship nor death, is a vivid portrayal of the people's army's courage and bravery. In the past, we had less steel and more gas, but now with more steel, we need more gas and harder bones. We need to strengthen the cultivation of combat spirit, strictly adhere to practical combat requirements, and start from the requirements of actual combat. We should temper the willpower and character of commanders and fighters, dare to overcome all difficulties, and dare to overpower all enemies.
Currently, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the instability and uncertainty of China's security situation have increased. The military struggle tasks are arduous and heavy. The entire army should strengthen its awareness of danger, crisis, and war, coordinate military preparations in all directions and fields, strengthen the normalized and diversified use of military power, firmly and flexibly carry out military struggles, improve its ability to respond to complex situations in a timely and appropriate manner, and ensure that it can be pulled out, promoted, and won when the Party and the people need it.
