A missile brigade of the Rocket Army started by improving the details to improve the level of combat readiness-

  Why the placement of combat boots has been changed twice

  In the midsummer season, a controversy about "how to put combat boots on earth" went to the party committee meeting of a certain missile brigade of the Rocket Army and triggered a "shock wave" of ideas among the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

  The two parties in the dispute are the launching of the Sixth Battalion and the Brigade Force Management Section. The argument stems from a night pull-

  One night, the sixth battalion organization was launched to prepare for the occasion. When the alarm sounded, the officers and soldiers quickly turned over and got out of bed, wearing gear in the dark, and requested the equipment to be assembled. However, during the subsequent maneuvers, the Battalion Commander Kingdom discovered that some soldiers were limping on foot, which affected the marching speed. Upon inquiry, I learned that they had worn other people's combat boots by mistake, which did not fit their feet.

  "Individuals wear combat boots by mistake, which affects the overall combat effectiveness." Facing the battalion commander’s criticism, the platoon commander Chuyuan explained: According to the brigade’s internal affairs regulations, the upper and lower bunk combat boots are placed next to each other outwards, and emergency operations are carried out at night. , It is inevitable to wear combat boots by mistake.

  In order to allow officers and soldiers to quickly and accurately find their own combat boots during the emergency pull at night, the Kingdom re-standardized the placement requirements: the combat boots should be placed in the upper bunk on the left and the lower bunk on the right, and the gap should be widened. Who knows, this change was notified and criticized by the Force Management Section on the grounds of "changing the housekeeping standards without authorization." Wang Guo felt wronged, and the "lawsuit" hit the brigade leader's desk.

  "The combat action is one second faster, and the chance of winning is one more point. How to place the combat boots seems to be a small matter, but it is related to the efficiency of the combat readiness." At the party committee meeting, after research and discussion, the brigade leaders commented on the launch of the sixth battalion. It supports the practice and requires agencies to re-examine and formulate internal affairs regulations to meet actual combat requirements and facilitate combat readiness training.

  Recently, the brigade went to the field for training. One night the army management team found out that there was a new change in the placement of the combat boots of the sixth battalion: the toe toes were not uniform.

  Wang Guo quickly explained that it turned out that during an emergency dispatch, officers and soldiers found their combat boots in the dark, and their assembly speed slowed down. During the review and summary, the officers and soldiers pointed out: The tents stationed in the field are relatively small and the combat boots cannot be pulled apart. It took a certain time to find the boots.

  In accordance with the recommendations of the officers and soldiers, the kingdom changed the placement of combat boots to the upper bunk facing inward and the lower bunk facing outwards on the right according to the different body orientations of the upper and lower berth officers and soldiers when they got out of the bed and put on shoes, so as to increase the dispatch speed.

  This time, the Force Management Section not only failed to report criticism, but also gave a thumbs-up thumbs up for their actions.

  "The two changes in the placement of combat boots have strengthened officers and soldiers' thinking and exploration of the details of combat readiness." Wang Guo told reporters that they took this as a guide and spontaneously placed tactical vests, walkie-talkies, flashlights and other common combat equipment storage locations. The details are adjusted, and the housekeeping settings are closer to actual combat requirements.

Short comment

Actual combat should start from the details

■ Lin Fei

  Where does the "one second" come from in the fast-changing battlefield where the fast is the slowest? The answer lies in the improvement of the details.

  Details usually affect the quality of training, and it is important for the success or failure of the war. Actual combat training should start from the details.

  Although the training outline has standards and the internal affairs are regulated, the outline and norms are guidance at the macro level. In actual operation, if more specific and subtle problems are encountered, the grassroots officers and soldiers must strictly follow the standards of combat and follow the principles of the outline and norms. On the basis, changes due to the time and the situation, timely detailed updates.

  In actual combat training, the optimization and adjustment of each process, battle position, data, and action may increase the rate of contribution to combat effectiveness. In order to win in the details, it should become the way of thinking and behavior of soldiers.
