Chapter 185: Listening, the History of Joint Operations
"Well, that's good!" , Vice Minister Wu, after listening to Yang Wenbin's answer, nodded again and again, and then looked at Vice President Li and Vice Minister Sun on the left and right, and praised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, interview questions, that's it." Vice Minister Wu said. Then he asked Yang Wenbin, "I am currently participating in a research project of the 'Military Structure Adjustment and Reform Research Group', I wonder if you are interested in participating?" ”
Vice Minister Wu sent an invitation to Yang Wenbin.
Vice President Li and Vice Minister Sun were very surprised when they heard Vice Minister Wu's invitation.
Because they have heard of this research group, the level in it is very high, and only senior leaders of some important departments, as well as professor-level figures in colleges and universities are qualified to participate, and now, he invites a master's student to participate, is it appropriate?
The faces of the two men were full of doubt.
But Yang Wenbin didn't feel strange, "Okay, if you need me, I will do my best", he agreed without modesty.
Out of the interview room, Yang Wenbin felt that today's sunshine was exceptionally beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds, and he was in a very good mood.
A week later, Yang Wenbin received an admission notice for the double master's degree program in conducting.
Vice President Li personally handed over the admission notice for double master's degree students to Yang Wenbin, and then patted Yang Wenbin on the shoulder and said, "Young man, work hard, the director is very optimistic about you!" Your written test score is about the same as everyone else's, and your interview score is a perfect score. ”
Yang Wenbin smiled, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you, Dean, I will definitely work hard." ”
After being officially admitted to the double master's program of conducting studies, Yang Wenbin became busier every day.
Because, in addition to completing the graduate course of the academic major, I also have to take the course of the master's degree in conducting, and the classes are full every day.
All courses in the command profession should be taken at the National Defense University.
Fortunately, the distance between the two highest military institutions is not too far, and it takes half an hour to get there by bus.
That day, when Yang Wenbin went to class at the National Defense University for the first time, he was shocked.
National Defense University is located in Hedian District, outside the third ring road of the capital.
As in the Military Academy of Sciences, on both sides of the gate, sentries are standing guard.
The "Chinese People's Liberation Army Defense University" written above the gate seems to be the handwriting of the first generation of leaders, and it should be the words of the collection.
Because, when the National Defense University was formed, his old man had already gone to the Crane Immortal. The National Defense University was built through the efforts of the second generation of leaders.
In the mid-eighties, according to the decision of the Central Military Commission, the Military Academy, the Political College, and the Logistics College were merged to form the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The National Defense University, China's highest military academy, is responsible for training military, political, and logistical command cadres at and above the army group army and navy and air force military units, senior staff officers and senior theoretical research personnel of the general departments and organs of the large military regions, and leading cadres of local and provincial-level organs and relevant departments of the State Council.
The administrative leadership body consists of the Training Department, the Political Department, the University Affairs Department, and the Scientific Research Department. The teaching and scientific research institutions have departments of strategy, campaign, Marxist theory, information operations and command training, army building and military political work, and military logistics and military science and technology equipment, and a number of teaching and research departments, research institutes, and centers. There are five disciplines: philosophy, law, economics, military science, and education. The cadet management organization consists of the Department of National Defense Studies, the Department of Basic Studies, the Department of Advanced Studies, the Graduate School, and the National Defense College. Every year, more than 2,000 senior and middle-level officers of the whole army and nearly 300 senior and middle-ranking officers of foreign armies are trained and trained in rotation.
The venue of the National Defense University provides a good place for senior military cadres to study the latest scientific knowledge and military theoretical viewpoints, study national defense development strategies, and plan national defense modernization.
Yang Wenbin is also very proud to be admitted as a double master's degree student in command at the National Defense University.
Because the Academy of Military Science is the highest scientific research institution in the whole army, and the National Defense University is the highest military command school in the whole army, Yang Wenbin feels very honored and pressured to be able to receive training from two top institutions.
Yang Wenbin still remembers the scene when he first took the joint operations course.
The subject of "Introduction to Joint Operations" was taught by a professor in his 50s, who was in good spirits and wore a pair of glasses.
"What we are studying today is, Introduction to Joint Operations.
Joint operations are the product of the development of warfare to a certain stage, and are also the inevitable result of the development of warfare from a low-level form to a high-level form.
The birth, formation, and development of joint operations are based on the development of weapons and equipment and the needs of operations.
When different branches of the armed forces emerge in the armed forces, objectively there is a problem of coordinated operations between the various branches of the armed forces. In the practice of warfare, joint operations will appear. From the perspective of war practice, as early as around the 16th century B.C., China and Egypt once had a joint operation of infantry and vehicle troops.
In the seventh century B.C., in the Assyrian army, there was a joint battle of infantry, chariot and cavalry, which was later inherited by the Persian army.
In 480 B.C., in order to resist the invading Persian army, Greece carried out joint land and naval operations at Thermopylae Pass and Salamis Bay, which was the prototype of the joint operation of land combat units and maritime combat forces in the history of human warfare.
Judging from the development process of operational theory, as early as the Warring States period in our country, some military strategists and military theorists began to explore and study the issue of coordination among different arms of the armed forces from a theoretical perspective, and realized that each branch of the armed forces has its own strengths and weaknesses that are difficult to overcome, and is suitable for undertaking different tasks.
If these units are used separately in combat, their combat effectiveness will be weakened, and if they are used together, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.
"Liutao" clearly pointed out the specialties of the main arms at that time and the tasks suitable for them.
"Sun Bin Art of War" further pointed out the formation and strength formation of the three arms in battle, and it can be said that the joint operations between different arms of the army appeared in the era of cold weapons.
Typical joint operations took place after the seventies of the nineteenth century, such as the Battle of Santiago between country M and Spain in 1898.
After the era of mechanized warfare, the number of arms in the armed forces continued to increase, and the navy gradually developed from a branch of the armed forces to an independent branch of the armed forces, thus providing the conditions for the emergence of joint operations, and joint operations between the services and arms began to attract people's attention.
In 1920, the Joint Commission of the Army and Navy of Country M published "Joint Operations of the Army and Navy," which for the first time explicitly put forward the term "joint operations" and the theoretical study of joint operations. ”
Yang Wenbin sat in the lecture hall and listened to the old professor teaching the theoretical development of joint operations quoting scriptures and classics, and was fascinated.
