In the blink of an eye, the time has turned to November.

In the traditional sense, it entered the period of preparation for the discharge of veterans and the entry of new recruits into the barracks.

Although military academies and academies are mainly composed of cadres and cadets, soldiers engaged in service support tasks are still involved in the issue of being discharged from the army and being transferred to non-commissioned officers.

In particular, this year, the period of active service for conscripts has been shortened from three years to two years, and the noncommissioned officer system has also been further improved.

To go, or to stay, is a must-answer option.

During the protracted revolutionary war, the Party has always practiced the system of voluntary military service.

During the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the replenishment of the Red Army's troops was generally carried out by a set of gradual escalation methods from the township Red Guards, district Red Guards, county Red Guards, local Red Guards, and even the regular Red Army.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the broad masses of workers and peasants consciously and voluntarily joined the people's army and militia organizations.

The militia is not only a powerful assistant to cooperate with the army's operations, but also a powerful reserve force to ensure the replenishment of the army's soldiers.

Those who joined the army and participated in the war, out of a high degree of political consciousness and national righteousness, fought valiantly for the interests of the nation and their own liberation, regardless of material rewards and personal gains and losses.

This new-type military service system, which is based on mobilizing and arming the masses of the people, has played an important role in strengthening the people's armed forces, waging the people's war, and winning the victory of the revolution.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our army continued to implement the system of voluntary military service. The "Common Program" adopted at the First Plenary Session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) stipulates: "Prepare to implement compulsory military service at an appropriate time. ā€

In the mid-50s, the "Military Service Law" adopted at the Second Session of the First National People's Congress (NPC) introduced compulsory military service, and the voluntary military service system was abolished for a time.

After the abolition of the volunteer military service system and the implementation of the compulsory military service system, the conversion cycle of compulsory soldiers is fast, and there is a lot of repetitive training, which is not conducive to the stability and enhancement of the combat effectiveness of the troops, and other problems are increasingly incompatible with the modernization of the troops.

With the improvement of the level of our army's modernization and the continuous development of weapons and equipment, the requirements for operating, maintaining, and maintaining weapons and equipment are getting higher and higher, and the original compulsory military service system can no longer meet the needs of the troops.

In the late 70s, the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress discussed and approved the "Decision on the Issue of Military Service."

The decision pointed out that in order to speed up the revolutionization and modernization of our army, it has been decided to implement a military service system that combines compulsory and volunteer soldiers.

It is stipulated that according to the needs of the troops, I can voluntarily change some of the conscripts into volunteer soldiers in order to retain the technical backbone.

In the mid-80s, the Second Session of the Sixth National People's Congress deliberated and adopted the revised Military Service Law.

Article 2 of the Military Service Law stipulates: "The People's Republic of China implements a military service system in which compulsory military service is the mainstay, in which compulsory soldiers and volunteers are combined, and militia and reserve forces are combined. ā€

Every citizen has the obligation to perform military service in accordance with the law, and a compulsory soldier who has completed five years of active service may be converted into a volunteer soldier and continue to serve according to the needs of the army and his own volition.

Since then, the prototype of non-commissioned officers such as "volunteers" has been established in the form of law.

The merit of the volunteer military service system lies in the fact that it enables volunteer servicemen to serve in the army for a longer period of time, is conducive to mastering the technical equipment that is difficult to train, and plays an important role in retaining the technical backbone of the military and in its modernization.

However, it has the disadvantage that it is impossible for the army to retain sufficient strength in wartime, which is not conducive to the accumulation of reserve forces, and the relatively high remuneration increases the expenditure of troops.

Beginning in December of this year, our army began to implement the non-commissioned officer system.

On 29 December last year, the Sixth Session of the Ninth National People's Congress adopted the new military service law, which made major adjustments to the military service system, shortened the period of compulsory military service to two years, abolished the period of overdue service, and stipulated that volunteers should serve in stages, thus laying a legal foundation for the reform of the noncommissioned officer system.

On June 30 this year, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued Order No. 14, and the "Regulations on Soldiers' Service" were revised and promulgated for the second time, carrying out a major reform of the non-commissioned officer system.

A series of adjustments have been made to the scope of non-commissioned officers' use, the proportion of their numbers, the incentive mechanism, the length of their service, their living conditions, and their placement methods.

Since then, the soldiers of the volunteer military service system of our army are collectively referred to as non-commissioned officers, and "volunteer soldiers" are only used when it involves the nature of military service.

In accordance with the provisions of this regulation, the new military rank (police rank) insignia of the whole army and the armed police force was officially put into use on December 1 this year.

By the end of December, the ranks of soldiers and the titles of professional sergeants and sergeant majors that had been established at the end of the eighties were abolished on their own.

The new "Regulations on Soldiers' Service" adopt a system of phased service for non-commissioned officers, implement one rank for one period, and enjoy salary and benefits.

Non-commissioned officers serve in six periods of active service, up to a maximum of 30 years.

The first and second phases are each 3 years, the third and fourth phases are 4 years each, the fifth period is 5 years, and the sixth period is more than 9 years.

Non-commissioned officers who have completed the prescribed number of years of service in the current period may enter the next term of service after going through certain selection procedures according to the needs of the troops and their own volition.

The living benefits of senior non-commissioned officers are the same as those of battalion and regimental officers.

The retirement and resettlement of non-commissioned officers shall be carried out in the system of demobilization, transfer of employment, and retirement, and senior non-commissioned officers who have served for 30 years or who have reached the age of 55 shall be resettled for retirement. In a sense, military service became a profession.

The ranks of non-commissioned officers in our army are divided into senior non-commissioned officers (sixth-level and fifth-class non-commissioned officers), middle-level non-commissioned officers (fourth-level and third-class non-commissioned officers), and junior non-commissioned officers (second-class and first-class noncommissioned officers).

Non-commissioned officers in our army make up half of the total number of soldiers.

Non-commissioned officers are subject to a salary system and a regular salary system, and are entitled to allowances and subsidies in accordance with the relevant regulations of the State and the army.

After non-commissioned officers are discharged from active service, junior non-commissioned officers are resettled (demobilized) according to discharge, and intermediate non-commissioned officers and senior non-commissioned officers who have completed 10 years are transferred to other jobs.

Non-commissioned officers are selected from among conscripts who have completed their active duty, and may also be recruited from among citizens with specialized skills in the non-military sector.

The revised version of the Military Service Law stipulates that the period of compulsory military service has been changed to two years.

That is to say, soldiers who enlisted in the army three years ago have already served for the third year by the time the two-year compulsory military service system is introduced.

Soldiers who joined the army two years ago have just completed two years of service and can choose to be demobilized or converted into non-commissioned officers.

Then the soldiers who enlisted in the army three years ago can be directly transferred to the first class non-commissioned officer for the second year, and of course they can also choose to be demobilized.

Before the introduction of the two-year compulsory military service, there were three years for the Army, four years for the Air Force, and five years for the Navy.

Moreover, there are those who have served beyond the time limit, and this year of service is mainly to examine whether the soldiers can be transferred to volunteers, so in fact, the soldiers who have become volunteers have one more year of compulsory military service.

It can be seen that the non-commissioned officer system is actually a continuation of the volunteer system, but the rank is clearer, and the identification and treatment are more fair.

Moreover, the implementation of the two-year compulsory military service system has also appropriately reduced the burden on single-child families;

At the same time, the mobility of service personnel was increased.

Although the total number of active duty soldiers remains the same, the number of people who have served in the military can be very large, and in the event of war, these people can be quickly mobilized to rejoin the army without having to retrain.
