Military Academy --
Adhere to the integration of training and use, deepen the main business of research and warfare
Our reporter Li Zhuoer
In the dark of night, the buildings of the Academy of Military Medicine of the Academy of Military Sciences were brightly lit.
In a laboratory, several students are reporting the latest experimental progress to Wang Yizheng, a researcher at the institute.
Wang Yizheng has been committed to neurobiological research for a long time, presided over and completed more than 30 major national and military scientific research projects, and was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences last year.
In recent years, in order to cultivate talents, retain talents and attract talents, the Academy of Military Sciences has successively formulated methods such as training support, selection and introduction, evaluation and incentives.
"We focus on gathering talents from all over the world and use them. We insist on selecting talents with lanterns, unscrupulously reducing talents, and accelerating the accumulation of excellent scientific research talent resources." The relevant person in charge of the institute said that we must focus on building security for the country and a strong military. A phalanx of scientific research talents who are strategic and seek a winning strategy for winning.
How does it feel to eat field food for 3 days in a row when only fresh water is replenished in areas above 5,000 meters above sea level?
Hao Limin, an expert in the field of military food, has set foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 9 times to test the field food under development.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, billowing gunpowder smoke rose instantly, and Yang Han, the leader of an engineering design project team, rushed into the test site and collected the first set of data for the target damage test at the fastest speed.
In order to educate talents for war, and cultivate talents for war, the Academy of Military Sciences has further developed a way of integrating training and employment.
Continue to focus scientific research on strong opponents, focus scientific research talents on the main business of research and warfare, and use scientific research results on the front line of tasks, so as to promote talents to fight and thrive.
The team gathers talents and forms the effect of talent catching and building wild goose array.
In the Academy of Military Sciences, academic success can be seen everywhere, and spiritual blood is continuous.
Once, in a certain key model scientific research project of the whole army, engineer Chen Qiang served as the chief engineer of the project for the first time.
In order to help Chen Qiang launch the "first shot", Yin Hao, then the director of a certain research institute of the Academy of Military Sciences, went to the front to guide and went deep into the research group to help analyze and solve technical problems.
With Yin Hao's careful help, Chen Qiang became more and more handy.
Three years later, the project won the first prize of the Army Science and Technology Progress Award, and related achievements were promoted and applied in the whole army.
"Following such a team leader, I always feel that a pair of warm hands is holding me up!" Chen Qiang said.
Since the reconstruction and reconstruction of the Academy of Military Sciences, it has always regarded talents as the greatest advantage to cultivate, develop with the greatest resources, and manage the greatest family business, forming a scientific research matrix of professional and technical talents led by 28 academicians of the two academies, and high-quality military scientific research talents. Advantages have been gathered.
Today, in the Academy of Military Sciences, a scientific research team with tenacious style and reasonable echelon collocation is being formed at an accelerated pace, providing strong talent support for building the "practical nerve".
National Defense University --
Practicing command ability to win the joint battlefield
Our reporter Li Longyi
In the middle of winter, in the National Defense University at the foot of Baiwang Mountain in Beijing, the atmosphere of teaching, research, and training is particularly strong.
A multi-day joint confrontation simulation exercise is in full swing in the Director's Hall of the War Game Building of the National Defense University.
Dozens of generals and officers conduct offensive and defensive deductions here, tempering their commanding abilities in the fierce game.
In November last year, President Xi emphasized at the Central Military Commission's Talent Work Conference that "we must adhere to classified policies, and do a good job in the training and use of joint combat command talents, new combat force talents, high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, and high-level strategic management talents."
The training of personnel for joint operations command is the core function of the National Defense University.
"Every day is not so much a class as a collective combat research and planning." Ding Yongwei, a student in the commander class and captain of a certain naval detachment, sighed.
In the course "Joint Combat Command in Theaters", students in the commander class must complete multiple classroom exercises and group discussions within 11 days, and complete 3 assignments as theater commanders.
Ding Yongwei sighed with emotion: "Our curriculum closely fits the capability requirements of future joint operations for commanders. We will teach what is needed for combat, and make up for the lack of post capabilities."
In a case teaching class at the Joint Operations College of the National Defense University, when Associate Professor Chu Rui taught the topic of foreign military special operations theory, he designed five teaching links: lecture, watch, study, research, and practice.
From classroom lectures to case introduction, from watching war movies to organizing small-class exchanges and seminars, under the guidance of teachers, students become the protagonists of learning, seminars and exchanges.
At the end of the course, each cadet also has a big assignment - as a coalition commander, put himself in the shoes of the most reasonable concept of operations.
"Compared with the past, the proportion of 'research' has increased, the intensity of 'practice' has increased, and the difficulty of 'examination' has increased. The students are fighting at night almost every day, and the atmosphere of studying military, war, and war is getting stronger and stronger ” Zhang Yan, the political commissar of a student team, told reporters that during the school, students need to assess a total of 15 achievements, covering all the content, procedures and methods of joint combat command, and each assessment is of high standards and strict requirements.
Assessment results are the "touchstone" for testing students' learning outcomes.
Facing the assessment, the students did not dare to slack off at all. Some got up in the middle of the night to memorize theories, and some were studying the application of tactics while eating... "All our courses and exams are aimed at possible future wars and possible operations. Our commanders are trained to be able to fight and win battles in close combat." A student said, "This is the most unforgettable exam in my military career."
Since the adjustment and establishment of more than four years, the National Defense University has accelerated the training of joint combat command talents, and each "roadmap" is turning into a "transcript".
In the new round of curriculum reform, the school and the newly promulgated joint operations outline of the Central Military Commission are aligned with the table, and the joint command system of the theater is fully connected. Here, after experiencing the wind and rain, seeing the world, strengthening the muscles and bones, and growing their talents, they went to the joint combat training ground with full confidence.
National Defense University--
Cultivate young talents to stimulate innovation vitality
Our reporter Liu Botong
At the beginning of the morning light, a rocket soared into the air, dragging a splendid flame at the tail, flying according to the predetermined trajectory, hitting the air target, successfully opening the parachute, landing smoothly, and recovering without damage... Last semester, National University of Defense Technology Aerospace Science Peng Ke, a young teacher of the college, often comes to the school early in the morning to study guided rockets with the students.
After Peng Ke graduated and stayed in school, he devoted himself to teaching and research.
In 2021, Peng Ke was funded by the major independent project for young talents of the college, which encouraged him to work harder to make beneficial explorations in teaching and research.
Talking about his own growth, Peng Ke sighed with emotion: "The school provides a platform and support for young people, and gives us the motivation to soar in the wind."
In recent years, the National Defense University of Science and Technology has adhered to the clear orientation of educating people for the war, innovating the talent policy system, optimizing the personnel development layout, and making the talent development and the strong military industry resonate at the same frequency.
"Talent is the key factor to promote the high-quality development of our army, win military competition and take the initiative in future wars." said Yang Hongwei, director of the political work office of the school, "To build a high-quality talent phalanx to support war preparations, we must broaden our horizons and recruit talents. It is also necessary to update the concept and make good use of talents, and to cultivate talents in innovative ways, so that the cultivation of famous teachers who are proficient in actual combat and the cultivation of apprentices who can win battles are equally important."
In recent years, the school has taken multiple measures to build teams and educate talents, highlight the orientation of "high-quality, high-end and top-notch", and work hard to continuously optimize the echelon structure of the talent team, so as to gather talents from all over the world and use them; Actively play the role of mentoring, personalized support, open training, etc., and walk out of the multi-post, multi-channel and multi-level training path; implement the classification evaluation of talents, and improve the evaluation mechanism oriented by innovation value, ability and contribution... A good pattern of making the most of it is taking shape.
In an environment with complex terrain and inaccessible people, students only rely on the map and compass to maneuver on foot and cross the river by rafting. This is a training subject for military topography at the Military Basic Education College. Electronic countermeasures are applied to the entire competition, and the students' understanding of the integrated use of electromagnetic firepower is further deepened...
"However the battle is fought, the teaching will be carried out." This is a phrase often said by the teachers of the school.
In recent years, the school has firmly grasped the clear direction of teaching for the war, and regularly organizes the activities of "Tutor Troops" and "Young Teachers' Troops" activities, and selects key teachers every year to participate in on-the-job assignments, military training, exercises and training. Major military operations have reached more than 1,900 person-times, which has improved the ability of teaching and research personnel to engage in scientific research closely to actual combat and focus on winning and educating talents.
Today, on both sides of the garden road of the National Defense University of Science and Technology, there are academician light boxes and excellent graduate light boxes, showing the profound heritage of National Defense Technology University as a high-quality new military talent training highland; laboratories, libraries, classrooms, A field of "brainstorms" collided from time to time with sparks of innovation and thinking inspiration; the first pass rate and excellent rate of military basic subjects in the joint graduation entrance examination for military officers' undergraduate students have reached new highs since the reform and reconstruction... Talents in various industries and fields are produced in large numbers, and innovation is the most important factor. The vigor of war is bursting out.
"Our school will continue to implement the strategy of strengthening the army with talents in the new era, and vigorously cultivate a large number of high-quality new military talents who can take up the task, so as to provide strong talents and scientific and technological support for the realization of the party's goal of strengthening the army in the new era." Yang Hongwei said.
