Chapter 768: Reform of the Officer System
The 107th Regiment was no longer what it used to be, it was only a rotation training team, with only a row of old row houses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, after more than a year of construction, the engineering corps has shown the highest efficiency and the most reliable quality, and has built a modern comprehensive camp in the valley that is extremely integrated with the terrain and topography, including a helicopter base and an armored vehicle support base.
The top attaches great importance to it, and the efficiency below will only be higher and the standard will be higher.
A lot of money was thrown in, and more than 20 million yuan was built on the infrastructure of the camp alone, and this is only a regiment-level unit. In the future, the road into the mountain will also be hard-bottomed according to the highest level, and it has long been determined as a war-ready highway. Then the road will be completely blocked, and the social vehicles will no longer be able to be used, except for the vehicles of the troops.
According to preliminary estimates, more than 100 million yuan will be invested in infrastructure construction alone.
One of the distinctive features of the 107th Regiment's camp was that it was completely camouflaged. From the air, it is impossible to find that this huge valley is actually a comprehensive barracks, or it should be called a synthetic military base.
The entire camp is divided into four major areas according to its functions, the personnel area, the vehicle area, the flight area, and the logistics area, which correspond to the rapid combat battalion, the combat support battalion, the helicopter squadron, and the logistics support battalion. It should be pointed out that it is not divided according to the battalion establishment, but is highly synthetic, and it is divided according to the combat function.
In short, it is possible for the officers and men of the rapid combat battalion to live in the same platoon barracks as the officers and men of the combat support battalion, or even to live in the same platoon barracks with the pilots of the helicopter squadron. Armored vehicles, on the other hand, are concentrated in the vehicle area, regardless of which battalion they belong to.
Eating and living together, training together, and fighting together, in a real sense, the integrated management and training of multiple arms of the armed forces have been implemented.
This is a great challenge for the management of the troops, and it is a great test of the ability of the leading groups, especially the commanders.
Except for the helicopters, all the equipment is fully equipped, and the personnel have also reached full capacity with the arrival of new recruits.
The first meeting of the leadership group of the 107th regiment was held.
Regiment Commander Xu Zhan, Political Commissar Wen Chaoyang, Deputy Regiment Commander Li Mu, Deputy Political Commissar Zhang Yimo, Chief of Staff Xu Yan, Service Support Battalion Commander Zhang Rusong, Combat Support Battalion Commander Li Jiujiu, Air Assault Combat Company Commander Li Fengxiang, Commander of the 1st Rapid Combat Battalion Concurrently served by Li Mu, and Commander of the 2nd Battalion Zhao Xu.
This is a streamlined team, otherwise there will be at least one deputy regiment commander, one deputy chief of staff, as well as the director of the political department, the chief of logistics, and the chief of the equipment department. After the reform, the command team, these positions, are gone.
In particular, Li Fengxiang was the commander of the guard company, and after learning about it, Li Mu found that he was actually from the special forces, so he decided to give him the position of air assault company commander who was originally intended to let Li Jiujiu concurrently serve. They are all people directly under the military region, and Li Mu transferred him with a word.
Except for Li Fengxiang, all the above-mentioned people attended the meeting, the party commanded the gun, these people were all members of the party committee, and the appointment of cadres in the battalion was all required to pass this meeting.
The first item was the personnel issue, and the second item was the training and management work of the troops, mainly the arrangements for this year's military and political work.
Xu Zhan felt very uncomfortable, after he took office, he did an understanding, and almost all of the people sitting in the conference room were Li Mu's people, and even the political commissar was Li Mu's old partner.
Originally, he was enthusiastic and planned to make a career out of this key experimental unit, but almost half of his heart died at this time.
How to work alone!
How depressed you are, how depressed you are.
Political commissar Wen Chaoyang presided over the meeting, and he held a higher position in the party than the head of the regiment.
Knocking on the table, Wen Chaoyang said, "Before the meeting, a promotion order was announced, and the superiors decided to promote Comrade Li Mu to lieutenant colonel. ”
It's simple and straightforward, and the promotion order is handed over.
Li Mu led over and saluted everyone.
It's been a year since I was last promoted, and it's only natural that I'll be a lieutenant colonel. The deputy regiment of the major is not uncommon in the army, but with the importance of the 107th regiment, the rank of major is not very obedient, and the time is not short.
Before his twenty-sixth birthday, Li Mu became a lieutenant colonel in the army.
All applauded and congratulated.
Thirty-eight-year-old Xu Zhan didn't feel good in his heart, he was a lieutenant colonel at the age of thirty-four, and now the colonel has been four years old, what about people, a twenty-six-year-old lieutenant colonel, no matter how late it is, he can get to the colonel before the age of thirty. The gap is not one or two points.
The expected things did not surprise everyone, not to mention that almost all of them were from Li Mu's family. As for the promotion ceremony, for a small lieutenant colonel, it is not necessary. Li Mu couldn't wait to divide every hour into several parts, how could he do a promotion ceremony that had no practical meaning and no symbolic significance.
Let's wait until I become a general.
Wen Chaoyang's appointment as the political commissar of the 107th Regiment was carefully considered by the higher-level leading organs. Li Mu's qualifications are young, so he needs to transfer a regimental commander with sufficient qualifications and good enough. But he was worried that Li Mu would be suppressed, which limited his play. The best solution is to let Wen Chaoyang, who has been familiar with Li Mu for several months, serve as the political commissar of the regiment.
There is another factor, Wen Chaoyang and Li Mu used to have a teacher-student relationship, which is good for the future work of the 107th Regiment.
Habitually knocking on the table, Wen Chaoyang said, "Let's start with the first topic, the personnel appointment of the new barracks. ”
In fact, this work should have been completed a month ago, but when the 107th Regiment was first established, things were complicated, and several leaders had very few opportunities to even get together, so they could only put off this topic at the meeting after the recruits entered the camp.
Another factor is that the 107th Regiment is also the 107th training base of the Army Academy, in other words, the new barracks of the 107th Regiment are not temporary formations like other units, but long-term establishments. Don't forget, those cadres and students from the Lu Academy came over, and they are also recruits!
Or it is more appropriate to call it a training camp, but Li Mu likes to call it a recruit camp, regardless of whether it is a lieutenant colonel or a colonel who comes in the future, it is still treated with reference to the status of recruits.
"Comrades also know that the new barracks are also responsible for the task of training the trainees of the Army Academy, and it is a long-term task, so our new barracks are different from other troops, they are genuine long-term establishments, and they have military budgets. Wen Chaoyang said, "The military budget is responsible for the special training expenses of the Continental Academy, which is separate from our regiment." ”
In other words, from a financial point of view, the new barracks belong to the Lu Academy. ”
It is only from the financial aspect, dozens of establishments in the recruit camp are all the establishment of the 107th Regiment, and the salaries of the personnel are actually part of the 107th Regiment. The Lu Yuan is only responsible for the expenses incurred in training. And the money is not from the Lu Academy, and the headquarters has a special allocation.
In order to develop a new type of army unit, the leading organs at higher levels have smashed several billion yuan a year, and this has a bearing on the quality of personnel, and they will absolutely not be stingy with the army academy; on the contrary, the input in all aspects will be even greater, and the resources will also be tilted to a certain extent.
Being in the midst of it, Li Mu knew the desire of the higher-level leading organs for a new type of army combat unit, and the eagerness of his mood was beyond the imagination of many people. Otherwise, Li Mu would not have such an unconventional promotion opportunity at all.
"According to the regulations, the cadre backbone configuration of the new barracks also adopts a new cadre backbone configuration. Wen Chaoyang looked down at the document and read directly, "There is one battalion commander instructor, two recruit companies under its jurisdiction, each with a company commander instructor, a battalion headquarters sergeant major, each company has a company sergeant major, and each company has a company headquarters sergeant major, and two battalion headquarters staff officers and assistants. ”
There was nothing in front of it, and it was expected, but the last two sentences surprised people except for the three main leaders.
"Ordnance non-commissioned officer, sergeant major, this is all normal. Staff officer?" Zhang Yimo said.
This year, staff non-commissioned officer is still a new term that has not yet appeared, and even though Zhang Yimo is a senior staff member who has been delegated from the military region headquarters, a deputy regimental deputy political commissar of the colonel regiment, and a senior and low rank of the regiment, he has never thought that a staff officer can be held by a non-commissioned officer.
Staff officers have always been cadres, and assistants have also been cadres. The particularity of cadres is not only reflected in the treatment, but also in the ability to participate in auxiliary decision-making.
The non-commissioned officer is assigned to serve as a staff officer, that is, it is the non-commissioned officer who advises the battalion commander on training. It's unimaginable. Rao is Zhang Yimo is a highly educated officer of the younger generation, and he has never changed his traditional concepts.
That's why he asked in surprise.
Xu Zhan, who had not spoken, cleared his throat, everyone looked at the new regiment commander, Xu Zhan said steadily, "Different recruit battalions should be configured in this way, and in the future, the same system will be gradually introduced into the combat battalion." Instructions at the highest level to increase the share of non-commissioned officers and reduce the number of officers have long existed, and since the 107th Regiment is an experimental unit, it should be the forerunner. Moreover, there is a large amount of data that suggests that for the work of certain positions, professional non-commissioned officers can be competent. Non-commissioned officer academies have begun to carry out new professional divisions, which are no longer limited to command and technical classes. ”
His voice had a thunderous feel to it, like a line of heavily mechanized troops running over the ground. After a pause, let everyone digest it for a while, Xu Zhan continued, "The army needs to be restructured, and the key difficulty lies in the establishment and the personnel system. If our establishment has changed, but the personnel system has not changed, it is not a complete change. ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded slightly, crossed his fingers and placed them on the table at will, and glanced at them habitually.
Xu Zhan saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable. The deputy regiment commander, who is ten years younger than himself, has a majesty that absolutely surpasses himself in front of the troops, and this phenomenon has never been seen before.
You can see the clues just by the configuration of the team, with a deputy political commissar, but this deputy political commissar is Zhang Yimo. Who is Zhang Yimo, a senior staff member of the Military Region Command, and Li Mu's assistant in the Military Region Command's research group on the establishment of the 107th Regiment!
You know, the compilation of the research group has not been revoked until now!
It was easy for Xu Zhan to understand that the higher-level leadership organs had made it clear that the carriage and horses supported Li Mu's work, and it was only because of the issue of seniority that he sat in this position that originally belonged to Li Mu. The consciousness is obvious, you can not cooperate, but you cannot influence.
The commander of the Army's first brand-new experimental unit, even if he only served for one year, is a rare qualification. After Xiang understood, Xu Zhan's mentality slowly adjusted, and his mood was not too bad.
"Guys, I can tell you. In the near future, including the officer system, the noncommissioned officer system, and the military rank system, all of them must be changed, deepened, and reformed, and if they are not changed, they will not be able to meet the requirements of future wars, and if they are not changed, they will not be able to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops as a whole. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief made it clear that all work should be aimed at enhancing combat effectiveness. All work, including political work. Improving combat effectiveness is both the starting point and the end goal. ”
Li Mu's voice was much deeper, and it was extremely clear to everyone's ears.
"Take myself as an example, the deputy regiment commander of the major, and my subordinate, take Chief of Staff Xu Yan as an example, he is the lieutenant colonel deputy regiment. The rank of the subordinate is higher than that of the superior, which is very unreasonable, and it has also caused confusion in the relationship between the position and the rank of the army. Promoting military ranks according to the number of years does not fully reflect the advantages of the military rank system. For example, a technical officer may only be a major, but he may also be fifty years old. The ranks did not go up, but the pay increased with years and contributions. The advantage of this is obvious, there is a specialization in the art industry, and at the same time, it can effectively control the number and size of the officers. ”
If these words were said more than a year or two later, no one would feel anything. The point is, there is almost no information about this now, why does Li Mu dare to say this?
The explanation that everyone can think of is that Li Mu has the channel to obtain information about a higher-level leading organ.
In the prospects described by Li Mu, everyone sees a better development prospect, not only about themselves, but also about more people, including the recruits who enlisted this year. Deepening the reform of the noncommissioned officer system has been being carried out, but the reform of the officer system is full of difficulties, and it is not difficult to understand the reasons for this.
The way Li Mu said is undoubtedly the most suitable way for the actual situation. Officers with outstanding abilities but who have reached the age of service, in the current environment, if they do not want to change careers, then they have to do their best to strive for progress. It is even easy to breed corruption.
For the troops, it is clear that this officer is very capable, but when his length of service is up, he can only watch the brain drain.
This situation has been common among non-commissioned officers since early on, so the non-commissioned officer system has been continuously deepened and reformed, salaries have risen, and non-commissioned officer ranks have also been changed until talents can be retained. The same is true of the officer corps.
If according to the way conceived by Li Mu, the officers who have reached the length of service do not move up to the position, it doesn't matter, they continue to serve, the rank remains the same, the position remains the same, but the treatment is to change, as long as you can prove your ability, let the army need you. It is only necessary to change the length of service, and turn the current complicated length of service into three major grades, 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years, with reference to the new non-commissioned officer system.
Maximize talent retention.
Captain officers in their forties and fifties abound in some countries.
Gently knocked on the table to slow back everyone's thoughts, Li Mu's tone was flat, but everyone could hear what he said: "Therefore, the 107th Regiment will firmly implement the first reform of the officer and non-commissioned officer system." ”
"This is also what our 107th regiment needs to do. ”
