Mission, a sacred word and a heavy responsibility.
The army is born with the mission, and the soldiers are with the mission. President Hu's important exposition on the historical mission of our army in the new century and new stage further points out the development direction of national defense and military modernization, further expands the functions and tasks of the army, and further clarifies the value orientation of the new generation of soldiers in China. To effectively fulfill the historical mission of our army, every soldier has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Every generation has its own mission-mission and historical inheritance.
Mission is a historical category. Historical mission is a summary of the basic tasks and objectives of the army in a certain historical period. Different times have different historical missions, and each generation has its own mission.
The historical mission of the people's army has always been determined according to the historical tasks of the party in different periods. Turning over the history of our army and faithfully fulfilling its mission is like a red line that runs through the whole process of our army's growth and growth. During the Agrarian Revolution, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, our army undertook the historical mission of battle team, production team and task force. The spirit of the Red Army's Long March, the hard struggle spirit of Yan 'an mass production movement, and the fearless sacrifice spirit of Dong Cunrui and other war heroes in this period are all concentrated manifestations of the pursuit of military mission value.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, our army shouldered the mission of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and defending our country" without hesitation. Under the call of the motherland, groups of outstanding soldiers resolutely "crossed the Yalu River" before they could wash the dust off their uniforms, and many people were buried in a foreign land.
Entering the period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our army is mainly responsible for consolidating national defense, resisting aggression, defending the motherland, defending the people's peaceful labor and participating in national construction. Military exercises in North China and the southeast coast, disaster relief in Daxinganling, flood fighting and emergency rescue in 1998, and fighting against SARS ... Our officers and men still prove their loyalty to the motherland and people with absolute loyalty and enthusiasm.
"Iron camp, mobile soldiers". Generations of soldiers, like relay races, are worthy of historical choices and people's expectations, dutifully run this stick in their own hands, and write heroic songs that faithfully fulfill our military's historical mission.
Entering the new century and new stage, the party and people have entrusted our generation of soldiers with a new historical mission. President Hu's important exposition on the historical mission of our army profoundly answered the question of "what kind of army to build and how to use it scientifically" and also profoundly answered the question of "what kind of mission to shoulder and how to fulfill it" for the new generation of soldiers. The ability to cope with crises, maintain peace, contain wars and win wars can only come from a strong national defense and steel army; Effectively safeguarding national security and development interests and accomplishing diversified military tasks will inevitably depend on new military talents and high-quality officers and men. The important task of building an information-based army and winning an information-based war has historically fallen on the shoulders of our generation of soldiers. The new mission calls for a new generation of soldiers to make contributions. From Yang Yegong, whose mission is the duty of a soldier, to Ding Xiaobing, a one-armed hero; From Jin Yinan, who is concerned about the major strategic issues in the contemporary international security field, to Zong Daohui, who writes about the life of "Capital" in the post of "Little Soldier", it is revealed that as a soldier, his sense of mission and responsibility is always stirring with the blood in his heart and always flying with the horn of the times, whether in history or reality.
Actively promoting military reform with China characteristics is an inevitable choice to improve the army's ability to cope with various security threats and complete diversified military tasks, and is the only way to gradually narrow the gap with the international advanced military technology level and realize the modernization of the army. Only by actively promoting the military transformation with China characteristics can we provide strong support and guarantee for effectively fulfilling the historical mission of our army. Continue to implement the strategy of strengthening the army through science and technology, follow the requirements of building an information-based army and winning an information-based war, adhere to mechanization as the foundation and informationization as the leading factor, and take the road of compound development of mechanization and informationization; Take reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force of army building, vigorously promote military theory, technology, organization and management innovation, speed up the modernization of weapons and equipment, step up the implementation of talent strategic projects, and further shift the generation mode of army combat effectiveness to high-tech progress marked by scientific and technological progress, especially information technology; It is necessary to implement the requirements of paying attention to quality and efficiency, optimize the institutional structure, persist in building the army through diligence and thrift, and improve the overall efficiency. We must persist in administering the army according to law and strictly, strengthen scientific management, and constantly improve the level of regularization of the army; It is necessary to comprehensively strengthen grassroots construction and consolidate the foundation of army building; We should firmly trust and rely on the officers and men, give full play to their initiative and creativity, vigorously carry forward the fine style of seeking truth from facts and hard work, and push the military reform with China characteristics to a new level with a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility.
