Carefully plan major teaching activities, reform and innovate the training mode of students
Before the start of the winter vacation, 6 teachers from the Nanjing Campus Tactics Teaching and Research Office completed the on-site lesson preparation for the 2022 graduate students' comprehensive tactical exercise and returned from the field smoothly.
As soon as they got off the train, they went straight to the school, and immediately began to organize the results of lesson preparation and revise the exercise plan.
These six instructors are members of the preparatory group for the first major exercise of the artillery and air defense cadets organized by the college.
"This exercise must focus on the basic guidance of 'actual combat training, joint combat training, and scientific training'. There are three general goals for improving the support capability of the training organization." said the person in charge of the training preparation team.
Read through the documents such as the overall plan, implementation plan and scenarios of the exercise on the table, from the guiding ideology to the organization and leadership, from the content of the exercise to the setting of the situation, and then to the safety prediction... The preparation team for the exercise boldly innovated, highlighting the actual combat requirements, especially the situation setting. It's full of war.
Instructor Zhuge Feng, a member of the preparatory team, said: "We have just returned from preparing lessons at a training ground in Shandong, and this is the fourth time the preparatory team has surveyed the site. The exercise plan and scenarios are very important to the entire exercise. The situation has further revised and improved the exercise plan. Everyone took the initiative to work overtime and sacrificed the winter break to make plans, write scenarios, select venues, and change lesson plans. So far, we have completed the preparation of a series of exercise plans and scenario materials, as well as the selection of exercise venues. , the preparatory work will be further deepened and solid."
The comprehensive tactical exercise for graduates is the core part of the comprehensive practical teaching activities of military academies, and it is also the "ultimate exam" of on-the-job training and education. .
"This year's graduate comprehensive tactical exercise aims to implement the requirements of 'hard training, scientific training, safety training, strong commanding ability, and good fighting skills', which will break the previous one, the four districts independently organized and implemented their own training grounds based on the resident training ground. According to the model of 'based on the same scenario, unifying the four districts of one hospital, relying on unfamiliar venues', a large-scale exercise on the scale of the whole hospital was organized for the first time." Jia Lei, director of the teaching and scientific research department of the campus, introduced that they will undertake the college's 2022 annual student graduation comprehensive exercise. The preparation, organization and implementation of tactical exercises have carried out reforms and innovations in the group training mode. Compared with the previous ones, there are more participants, it is more difficult to coordinate, involve a wider area, have higher standard requirements, and have a stronger smell of gunpowder.
Study important and difficult topics, and get through the "last mile" of coordinated land and air operations
"A joint operation and training test is a major training activity organized by the superior this year," said Yan Yaozu, director of the Nanjing Campus Campaign Teaching and Research Office.
The battle teaching and research section where he works has long been engaged in the research and teaching of fire coordination and joint strike issues.
During the winter vacation, Yan Yaozu devoted himself to the experimental research of key and difficult subjects.
He introduced that the college received relevant tasks at the beginning of the new year, and set up a research group relying on the battle teaching and research section to tackle key problems faced by a certain joint operation and training.
The basic form of modern warfare is integrated joint operations, and efficient and smooth joint land and air operations are the core of winning.
"In the past, in the field of land-air joint operations, we mainly devoted our energy to theoretical research and rule-making. Although a series of achievements have been formed, they have not really been implemented at the level of military training." Yan Yaozu said that this research clearly requires that Comprehensively walk out of the way of substantiating joint land and air training, and focus on opening up the "last mile" of coordinated land and air operations. Software upgrades, tactical innovation and other issues, so as to truly implement land-air joint operations in drills.
The reporter learned that Yan Yaozu's research group has systematically studied the rules and regulations of the US military, the Russian army and other multinational armies in the fields of joint land and air operations, close fire support and other fields, and has extensively collected and mastered the joint land and air combat training of developed countries in recent years. relevant materials, and carry out joint research with relevant colleges, research institutes, and training troops and other neighboring units, so that theoretical research and rule formulation are deeply coupled with actual combat training from the very beginning.
Quickly translate important regulations and contribute to knowing ourselves and our enemies
The first day of the first lunar month is a day when thousands of families are reunited. Ku Zongbo, director of the Nanjing Campus Translation Office, is still busy in his office.
There are thick dictionaries and various foreign language materials on the huge desk. His fingers are constantly tapping on the keyboard, and he is concentrating on translating the rules.
"The translation room is mainly responsible for foreign training teaching and translation of foreign military materials." Ku Zongbo introduced that due to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, the Nanjing campus has no foreign training teaching tasks for the time being, but the translators in the translation room not only did not take the opportunity to "lie down" ”, but self-pressurized, took the initiative to undertake the translation tasks of many important foreign military doctrines.
"Doctrine translation is not an easy task, because foreign military doctrines are varied and detailed, and will be dynamically updated with changes in weapons and equipment, combat methods and combat environments," Kuzongbo said.
At present, the world is facing a new situation of unprecedented changes unseen in a century and the new situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The world has entered a new period of turbulent changes. The international security landscape is unstable and uncertain, and the development of emerging technologies is also showing a trend of rapid changes.
The military powers continue to explore and innovate military strategies, operational concepts and forms of force formation, and research and install new equipment.
These new changes have driven the rapid iteration of foreign military doctrine.
"Knowing ourselves and our enemies can help us win a hundred battles. Whether it is in the early stage of our military's construction and development, or in today's comprehensive implementation of the strategy of reforming and strengthening the military, the translation of foreign military doctrines is a powerful tool for breaking old concepts and helping our military study future battlefields and opponents. hand." Kuzongpo said.
In recent years, the translation room where Ku Zongbo is located has not only completed multiple batches of doctrine translation tasks assigned by superiors with high quality, but has also undertaken many times for the review of doctrine translations organized by the Military Commission, the Army and other relevant departments. With the advantages of rich variety and strong authority, it has independently reported the translation results of regulations and orders for many times, which has contributed to our officers and soldiers who know how to fight and who are familiar with strong enemies.
