In the hinterland of the Central Plains, deep in the dense forests, an equipment test was conducted by a certain brigade of the 82nd Group Army in the form of a red blue confrontation. The officers and soldiers of a certain battalion were divided into two groups, engaged in confrontation, tested equipment performance, and tested combat tactics and training methods. As the blue side, Instructor Guo commanded the troops to be flexible and adaptable, forcing the red side to use all their strength. The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the staff of the government and experts from universities analyzed data one after another, giving high praise to the blue side: "The red side attacked fiercely, the blue side defended well, and fully utilized the equipment performance." This is not the first time that Instructor Guo has served as a training commander. Years of experience in office have made him feel that only by competing to be "two experts" can political cadres establish their credibility and convince people. In the process of deepening political rectification and training, the party committee of the brigade has also fully recognized this point. In recent years, they have focused closely on the central task of being able to fight and win wars, striving to improve the ability and quality of political cadres, play the role of political work service guarantee, plan and carry out political work, and have achieved a number of innovative results, while exposing some problems and shortcomings. As a witness, Instructor Guo shared his previous experience with the reporter. Once, the brigade organized a live combat training, and the recently appointed instructor of a certain company carried out battlefield mobilization based on their own political work plan. However, due to not being closely related to the timing of the battle and having too many empty words and clich é s, it not only failed to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers, but also caused everyone to have a sense of resistance. To do a good job in political work during combat, political cadres must first understand military training and possess the ability to command on the battlefield. ”In the summary, the brigade leader pointed out the problem point blank. "The army is born of war, and the military political work must also be born of war. If political cadres do not know much about war, read the script, recite the lines, and follow the process, they will not be able to shoulder the responsibility of the commander, which will seriously damage the prestige and power of political work." In the subsequent discussion, some officers and soldiers reported that some political cadres stood here and looked there at ordinary times, and talked about the reason in the first place, but they were not clear about the battlefield situation, and did not think enough. When encountering practical assessment, performance and training tasks, they would habitually retreat to the "second line" and be willing to be "supporting role" "; Some officers and soldiers admitted that some political work plans for combat are rich in content and advanced in means, but they are not closely related to actual combat; Some key cadres even directly expressed their own difficulties: carrying out ideological and political education sometimes competes with training for resources, time, and manpower, but there is no solution... "We must break free from the vicious circle of self design, self circulation, and self inspection in political work, and enhance the contribution rate of political work to war preparation. ”Combining with the deepening of political rectification training, the brigade drew lessons from one example and made problem rectification a key focus of rectification training. On the one hand, it sorted out and formed a list of political work problems, organized political cadres to compare, inspect and reflect, and established a good image of political cadres. On the other hand, it organized research projects to explore the mechanism of political work services to ensure combat effectiveness construction. How effective is the rectification? Looking through multiple documents of the brigade, there are both overall deployments for political work to embrace the new era, adapt to the new system, and undertake new missions, as well as implementation opinions for embedding political work into major training activities to serve the preparation for war. The goals and tasks are clear, and the planning steps are clear. Behind this is a series of measures launched by the brigade. How to fight the future war, how to do political work. ”They take advantage of opportunities such as actual military confrontations and command post exercises to integrate political work with military operations, planning and deploying, organizing and implementing, summarizing and evaluating, closely following the process of military operations, and studying the content, form, and methods of carrying out political work; Organize political and military cadres to discuss military cases, analyze situations, and handle special situations through "cross-border" learning, door-to-door consultation, and pairing and mentoring; How to arrange political cadres to study and train in combat teams and positions, learn and master new equipment operation skills... How to give full play to the combat function of party organizations? How to carry out combat mobilization according to the situation? How to embed ideological and political education without interfering with training? During this process, the political cadres of the brigade insisted on measuring the length with the standard of combat effectiveness, focusing on accelerating the extension of the "lifeline" to the battlefield and exploring "better solutions" to each problem. 'Unable to get in touch, unable to speak, unable to exert force' was a common embarrassment encountered by some political cadres in the brigade during military training and preparation. After training and rectification, this phenomenon has been significantly improved. Once, the brigade organized tactical training. During the battle assault phase, the commander of a certain company was sentenced to 'injured' and requested the instructor to take over the command. After quickly assessing the battlefield situation, the company's instructor identified the opponent's weaknesses and immediately adjusted the deployment of troops, leading the officers and soldiers to ultimately reverse the unfavorable situation. The outstanding performance in critical moments is due to the usual strong martial arts skills. The reporter learned that the party committee of the instructor's camp attaches great importance to military quality foundation, typical action analysis, and advanced equipment and skill assessment, using them as important indicators to measure personal growth and progress. Inspired by this, the enthusiasm of political cadres to participate in training, research and development is high, and many of them have won gold and silver in military competitions. This instructor indeed has two 'brushes'! ”Seeing this scene through the telescope, a brigade leader said. In his opinion, it is not enough for political cadres to dare to shout 'follow me', they also need to strive to 'win'. With a sense of responsibility in my heart, my gaze fixed on the battlefield. After undergoing political training, the political cadres of the brigade have shown a new appearance and political work continues to radiate new vitality. Recently, the brigade organized multiple course competitions, including battlefield rescue, communication equipment operation, tactical actions, etc. Political cadres actively participated and competed, with many people ranking on the "Dragon and Tiger List". Subsequently, these political cadres were tasked with leading teams to participate in training activities organized by higher authorities. They were responsible for both military and political work, and with their outstanding performance in command positions, they established a good image as political cadres. (New Society)
