Chapter 228: "Synthesis" Meeting (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At the post-exercise review meeting, all officers of the first battalion and officers at and above the deputy company level attended the meeting. This is also the first time that Gaocheng has held a battalion headquarters meeting, and in the past, each unit was guided separately.
"What did I see in this exercise? Each branch of the armed forces has its own system, is separated from each other, and it is difficult to communicate and share, and it is difficult for commanders to achieve accurate and efficient command over their subordinate units. "Gao Cheng first mentioned the issue of command.
"This is not just for a certain commander and fighter, it can only be said that our current concept of commanders and fighters has not changed. We still use the old experience to deal with the new problems. For example, in this exercise, the combined battalion composed of multiple arms has increased the requirements for operational unity, the complexity of operational command, and the diversification of command tasks. Speaking of this, Gao Cheng glanced at the commanders and fighters who participated in this exercise.
At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, who was sitting in the conference room, quickly turned red. As the main commander of this exercise, not only did they not give full play to the strength of their battalion, but they also made major mistakes in command. This made him feel very remorseful at this meeting, so he immediately spoke up: "Report to the battalion commander, I ask for criticism." ”
Gao Cheng waved his hand to sit down, and then said, "My purpose in this exercise is not to criticize anyone. I know that you are all elites from different units, and you have a wonderful resume in the past. But when you come here, you may find that everything in the Synthesis Camp will be very different. ”
"Synthetic battalion, maybe you have participated in it before, but I want to say that our battalion is not a composite force that everyone temporarily formed for a certain mission in the past. For the composite battalion, today I need everyone to have an in-depth understanding of our unit, otherwise everyone will not have a direction to move forward in terms of training or operations. Gao Cheng said.
He found that apart from himself, the first battalion was not very clear about the purpose of their battalion formation, whether it was a battalion-level cadre or a company-level cadre. Therefore, he wanted to convey to the commanders and fighters of the battalion the idea of forming an army, or rather the idea of forming an army.
"I believe that everyone has experienced it, but it first began with the army of the lighthouse country, and it is an exploration of the army in response to the change of the form of war under the conditions of modernization." Gao Cheng first positioned this mode of their battalion, which is an exploration of a new combat mode.
"For the war of the future, today our topic is not this. However, what I want to say is that future wars will certainly be based on the basic conditions of informationization. Therefore, the future road of our first battalion is the information-based electronic synthesis battalion, which is also the purpose we will complete later. After talking about the positioning, he gave a brief introduction to his target, Gao Cheng.
"Battalion commander, we know the informatization. But does the current talent pool and equipment in our battalion support us in carrying out this reform? At this time, Wang Wei, who was an instructor in the first battalion, asked out loud. As an instructor, he had to help Takashiro co-manage a battalion. Neither can the first battalion have an ideological slippery slope, nor can the first battalion have ***.
As an instructor, he was exposed to this information. However, he does not think that the current first battalion has this strength, after all, this is not a goal that can be accomplished just by strengthening training, and it must be complete in software and hardware.
Gao Cheng cast a grateful look at the instructor, he didn't think that this was the instructor demolishing his platform, after all, what Gao Cheng said, except for his own heart, any experienced officer would not believe in this big pie, it is estimated that even the chief above only has expectations for him.
"What the instructor said is very accurate, talent reserve and technical support are the two major problems in completing the transformation of our battalion. I think I still have a bit of a say in that. Gao Cheng wanted to answer the questions raised by the instructor one by one.
"As for talent training, I have been verified for three years in the last unit, and it can be said that the effect is remarkable. We have a mature training mechanism for the training of personnel in the troops, and as long as our soldiers study hard and are not afraid of hardship, they will certainly not be eliminated. Of course, this also requires the support of the instructor. After speaking, Gao Cheng nodded at Wang Wei's side.
Regarding the learning method of the Seventh Company, Gao Cheng believes that there is absolutely no problem in copying, and it is rare whether the soldiers of the first battalion can be as "hard-working and hard-working" as the Seventh Company. But as he entered the first battalion for a long time, he found that any company in the first battalion was no worse than the seventh company, and Gao Cheng was much more relieved in this regard.
"When it comes to technology, you don't have to worry about that. It is not modest to say here that there are already troops that have carried out the verification of informatization. And that system was designed and completed by me, so you don't have to worry about technical support. All you need to do is make sure that you can use the new equipment I offer you. Gao Cheng is not showing off his achievements, but to show his determination, hoping that every commander and fighter of the first battalion will understand that he has a general plan for the construction of the first battalion.
Only then did all the commanders and fighters of the first battalion suddenly realize why Gao Cheng could serve as the commander of their battalion at such a young age. At today's meeting, they not only understood the purpose of their battalion formation, but also understood a question that had been bothering them, how Gao Cheng could have achieved such results in less than a year.
"Okay, I won't go into too much detail about the results here. Moving on to our topic for today, what kind of thinking does this exercise bring you. Gao Cheng looked around, trying to find ideas among his men.
"Report to the battalion commander, I have a little idea. I don't know if I'm right. At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, who was the commander of the losing side of the exercise, said.
"Say, today is to speak freely. There is no right or wrong, as long as you have an idea, you can say it, and everyone brainstorms. Gao Cheng encouraged.
"Battalion commander, I found a problem in this exercise, just as the battalion commander said, it is difficult for commanders and fighters to form a system of command between various arms. It's like I came from a tank unit, but if I were to make arrangements for the infantry company, the fire company, or even the support company, I would basically not be able to perform half of its function. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu put down his burden and took the initiative to expose the problems he had in this command search.
Although the idea proposed by Deputy Battalion Commander Liu was a bit repetitive, Gao Cheng wanted to hear what he suggested about this idea. Therefore, he continued to encourage the general matter.
"For this question, when we were interspersed with attacks, we got a piece of advice from Company Commander Cui and their company, and although we still lost in the end, I think it gave me a lot of inspiration. We should strengthen the training of combat staff officers of all branches of the armed forces, so that in the course of future operations, they can more effectively provide a feasibility analysis of the arms (companies) to which they belong, and strengthen the basis for judging the operational command of commanders and fighters. After speaking, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu looked at Gao Cheng fixedly, hoping to comment on his idea.
"Very good, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu can find this problem from a simple exercise, and I think my work will be much easier in the future. Yes, staff work will be a key direction in our battalion in the future. Gao Cheng had already discussed this work with the chief of staff of their battalion, and of course the chief of staff supported it, and he came to this unit to strengthen the training of staff officers of the synthetic battalion.
"The cooperation between the various branches of the armed forces should not only be reflected in peacetime training, but also require a group of staff officers with professional analytical skills to make suggestions. I think all of you here are experts in one area, but it can be a little difficult to be fully proficient, so we need to put the matter of operational staff on the agenda. This is Gao Cheng's affirmative answer to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu's suggestion.
"Report to the battalion commander, I have an idea. During this exercise, I discovered that one of the main problems was that in the process of command and decision-making, the effectiveness was poor, the decision-making cycle was long, and the efficiency was low. This is the question raised by Yu Chengfei of the logistics support company.
His questions were mainly based on the performance of the reconnaissance company, which at one time sought support in the course of reconnaissance in front of the enemy. However, because the decision-making system has not been formed, the steps of analysis and judgment, holding meetings, and setting resolutions are all serious wastes of time, so he put forward his own suggestions on this issue.
"Company Commander Yu's suggestion is also very crucial, and how to form a set of efficient command and control systems is also an important topic for the future informatization of our first battalion. Commanders and fighters, command and control, intelligence and information groups, fire coordination groups, and support volunteer groups form the command and control system of our battalion. How to clarify the seats, responsibilities and tasks, standardize the process and methods, and coordinate and unify the command are also things that we must be clear about in the future training process. ”
Gao Cheng didn't say much about the theoretical approach to this, because it would need to be discussed in a separate meeting. The main problem today is to unify their thinking, put forward all their problems, and then solve them, and finally throw off their arms and do it.
"If there are any other problems, everyone will raise them together, and today is the problem-solving meeting of our first battalion, both in terms of training and ideology. I think both me and Instructor Wang will give you a difficult answer. Gao Cheng continued to encourage everyone to speak enthusiastically.
"Report to the battalion commander, since our construction goals are very different from the previous synthetic battalions, will our training mode also change accordingly?" This is a question raised by the commander of the tank company, and it is estimated that it is also a question shared by all the company commanders present.
