In the desolate Gobi Desert, as night falls, a certain unit of the Rocket Force is engaged in fierce red and blue battles; In the snowy wilderness of the northern country, the cold wind is piercing, and the officers and soldiers of a certain brigade of the Rocket Force ride their tanks to grind ice and roll snow, and sharpen their swords; In the deep mountains and valleys, with the roar of electric motors, soldiers from a certain brigade of the Rocket Force charge long distances to participate in joint assaults of various branches of the army... In the cold winter season, in the camps of the Rocket Force units across the country, a wave of practical training is surging, and breathtaking "sharpening sword maps" are unfolding. Over the past 10 years, the Rocket Force has continuously iterated and upgraded its weapons and equipment, continuously improved its overall construction level, and achieved a new leap in combat effectiveness. Ten years of hard work and determination, stride forward on the journey of building a strong military. Under the guidance of the strong military ideology, the Rocket Force deeply grasps the new situation, new tasks, and new requirements of construction and development, and aims to build a powerful modern Rocket Force in accordance with the strategic requirements of "both nuclear and conventional capabilities, and comprehensive deterrence". All efforts are focused on warfare, and all work is devoted to combat, continuously improving the deterrence and combat capabilities of the strategic missile force. Ten miles of Chang'an Avenue witnessed the development and growth of the "Dongfeng family". On September 3, 2025, at the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, accompanied by a magnificent march, multiple types of missile vehicles such as the Long Jian-1000, Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-26D, Dongfeng-61, Dongfeng-31, and Dongfeng-5C rumbled past Tiananmen Square and were inspected by the motherland and the people. In the past decade, with the successive introduction of new missiles, the Rocket Force has gradually developed into a combat force system that combines nuclear and conventional capabilities, model matching, range connection, and diverse strike effectiveness, from "long-range precision strike and multi domain deterrence victory" to "global strike coverage". The deterrence, capability, cessation, and victory capabilities of major powers' heavy weapons have been effectively demonstrated. The east wind is strong and thunderous. In the past 10 years, the Rocket Force has closely monitored the changes in technology, warfare, and opponents, closely followed the process of reshaping the new military training system, actively transformed its thinking to deepen the coupling of combat and training, grasped the demonstration and activation of group training methods, and expanded its means to improve training quality and efficiency. The system has carried out training such as grouping aggregation, combat coordination, and confrontation testing, and has worked together to connect the "foundation synthesis joint" capability generation chain. A large number of new combat training methods that are closely related to the battlefield have been successively developed and promoted, and troops are always in a high state of readiness and ready to launch. Every time a missile ignites and takes off, it carries a mission like a mountain. In August 2022, the Eastern Theater Command conducted practical joint exercises, and the Rocket Force organized regular missile fire tests in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island to test their precision strike and area denial capabilities; In September 2024, the Rocket Force successfully launched one intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a training simulation warhead into the relevant open sea areas of the Pacific Ocean, accurately landing in the designated sea area... After 10 years of sharpening the sword, from fixed launch to mobile launch, from timing launch to random launch, from live fire launch to actual combat launch, the construction of the Rocket Force's combat power accelerated, and the magnificent trajectory of the long sword flying through the sky outlined the resolute footsteps of the Rocket Force officers and soldiers in the new era. The bugler is in position! ”At a concealed launch site, with a command, the missile gunner quickly rushed to the battlefield to carry out a firepower assault exercise mission, holding a long sword and raising his head to inquire about the sky. From the red blue confrontation to the "Tianjian" series of exercises, from the "Joint Sword-2024B" exercise to the "Strait Thunder-2025A" exercise and then to the "Justice Mission-2025" exercise... Under the baptism of practical combat smoke, rocket officers and soldiers have responded to orders, rigorously tempered the long sword of a great power from difficulties, and bravely advanced towards the goal of building a world-class strategic military service.
