Chapter 770 Reform of the Officer System
The 107th Regiment's resident is no longer what it used to be. It used to be only a resident of a rotation training team, only a row of old row houses.

Now, after more than a year of construction, the engineering force has used the highest efficiency and most reliable quality to build a helicopter base and armored vehicle support base in the valley that is extremely integrated with the terrain. Modern comprehensive camp area.

If the top pays attention, the bottom will only be more efficient and have higher standards.

A lot of money was thrown in, and the camp infrastructure alone cost more than 2000 million.In the future, the road into the mountain will be hardened according to the highest level, and it has long been determined as a road for combat preparation.Then that road will be completely blocked, except for military vehicles, social vehicles can no longer be used.

According to preliminary estimates, more than 1 million yuan will be invested in infrastructure construction alone.

The camp of the 107th Regiment has a distinctive feature, that is, it is completely camouflaged.Viewed from the air, one cannot tell that this huge valley is actually a comprehensive military camp, or it should be more appropriately called a synthetic military base.

The entire camp area is divided into four major areas according to functions: personnel area, vehicle area, flight area, and logistics area, which respectively correspond to the rapid combat battalion, combat support battalion, helicopter squadron, and logistics support battalion.It should be pointed out that they are not divided according to battalion organization, but are highly synthetic and divided according to combat functions.

In short, it is possible for officers and soldiers of the rapid combat battalion to live in the same row of barracks as the officers and soldiers of the combat support battalion, or even to live in the same row of barracks as the pilots of the helicopter squadron.The armored vehicles are concentrated in the vehicle area, no matter which battalion the armored vehicles belong to.

They eat and live together, train together, and fight together. In a true sense, they have implemented integrated management and training of multiple arms.

This is a big challenge for the management of the army, and it really tests the ability of the leadership team, especially the chief officer.

Except for helicopters, all equipment is fully equipped, and the personnel are reaching full capacity as new recruits arrive one after another.

The first leadership team meeting of the 107th Regiment was held.

Leader Xu Zhan, Speaker Wen Chaoyang, deputy leader Li Mu, deputy speaker Zhang Yimo, chief of staff Xu Yan, service and support chief Zhang Rusong, combat support chief Li Jiujiu, air assault combat commander Li Fengxiang, and the first commander of rapid combat is concurrently served by Li Mu. The second chief, Zhao Xu.

This is a streamlined team, otherwise it would have at least one deputy leader, one deputy chief of staff, as well as the director of the political department, the director of the logistics department, and the director of the equipment department.After the reform, the command team and these positions are gone.

Special mention should be made of Li Fengxiang, who was originally the chief of the guard. After getting to know him, Li Mu discovered that he was actually from the special forces, so he decided to give him the position of air assault chief that was originally intended for Li Jiujiu to concurrently hold.They were all people directly under the military region, and Li Mu transferred them to him with just one word.

The discussion at the first meeting was no exception. The first item was personnel issues, and the second item was the training and management of the army, mainly this year's military and political work arrangements.

Xu Zhan felt very uncomfortable. After he took office, he had done some understanding. Almost all the people sitting in the conference room were Li Mu's people. Even the speaker was Li Mu's old partner.

Originally, he was full of enthusiasm and planned to do something big in this key experimental force, but now he almost gave up half of his plans.

How to work alone!
How depressed and depressed.

Speaker Wen Chaoyang presided over the meeting,
Knocking on the table, Wen Chaoyang said, "Before the meeting, I will announce a promotion order. The superiors have decided to promote Comrade Li Mu to lieutenant colonel."

It was simple and straightforward, and the promotion order was handed over.

Li Mu led them over and saluted everyone.

It has been a year since the last promotion, and it is reasonable to be a lieutenant colonel.Major deputy regiments are not uncommon in the military, but given the importance of the 107th regiment, the rank of major is not easy to obey, and the time is not short. After one year, being promoted to lieutenant colonel is not so eye-catching.

Just before his 26th birthday, Li Mu became a lieutenant colonel.

Everyone applauded and congratulated.

The 38-year-old Xu Zhan felt even more uncomfortable. He only became a lieutenant colonel at the age of 34, and now he has been a colonel for four years. As for others, a 26-year-old lieutenant colonel, no matter how late it is, he can still become a colonel before the age of 30. .The difference is not as big as one or two points.

The expected things did not surprise everyone, let alone almost all of them were from the Li Mu family.As for the promotion ceremony, it is unnecessary for a small lieutenant colonel.Li Mu wished he could divide each hour into several parts, so why would he go through a promotion ceremony that had little practical or symbolic significance?

Let's wait until we become a commander.

Wen Chaoyang's appointment as chairman of the 107th Regiment was carefully considered by the superior leadership.Li Mu's qualifications are young, so he needs to recruit a leader with sufficient qualifications and good enough.However, he was worried that Li Mu would be suppressed, thus limiting his performance.The best solution is to let Wen Chaoyang, who is familiar with Li Mu and has been on the team for several months, be the chairman of the league.

Another factor is that Wen Chaoyang and Li Mu used to have a teacher-student relationship, which is good for the future work of the 107th regiment.

Knocking on the table habitually, Wen Chaoyang said, "Now we will start the first topic, the appointment of personnel in the new barracks."

In fact, this work should have been completed a month ago, but when the 107th Regiment was founded, things were so complicated that several leaders even had little chance to get together. They could only postpone this work until the new recruits entered the camp. Put the topic on the meeting.

Another factor is that the 107th Regiment is also the 107th training base of the Lu Academy. In other words, the recruit camp of the 107th Regiment is not a temporary establishment like other troops, but a long-term establishment.Don’t forget, those cadres and students from the Lu Academy are also new recruits when they come here!
Or it might be more appropriate to call it a training camp, but Li Mu likes to call it a recruit camp. Regardless of whether the recruit is a lieutenant colonel or a colonel, the recruits will still be treated according to their status.

"Comrades also know that the recruit battalion also shoulders the task of training the students of the Army Academy, and it is a long-term task. Therefore, our recruit battalion is different from other troops. It is a genuine long-term establishment with a military budget." Wen Chaoyang said, "The military budget is in charge of the special training expense item of the Lu Academy, which is separate from our regiment."

"In other words, from a financial perspective, the new military camp belongs to Lu Yuan."

Just from a financial perspective, dozens of establishments from top to bottom of the new barracks are all part of the 107th Regiment. The personnel's salaries and other things are actually part of the 107th Regiment.The Lu Institute is only responsible for the training expenses.And the money does not belong to the Lu Academy, the headquarters has a special allocation.

In order to build a new type of army, the higher-level leadership agencies spend billions a year. When it comes to the quality of personnel, the Lu Academy will never be stingy. On the contrary, the investment in various aspects will be greater and the resources will be tilted.

Being in it, Li Mu knew the desire of the higher-level leadership for a new type of army combat unit, and the urgency of that feeling was beyond the imagination of many people.Otherwise, Li Mu would never have such a promotion opportunity beyond the norm.

"According to regulations, the new cadre and backbone configuration of the recruit camp also adopts a new cadre and backbone configuration." Wen Chaoyang lowered his head and glanced at the document and read directly, "There will be one officer and instructor, two recruit companies, each with guard There is one chief instructor, the whole battalion has a battalion sergeant major, each company has a company sergeant major, and there are two battalion staff officers and two assistant coordinators. It should be noted that half of the training staff officers and ordnance coordinators must be non-commissioned officers. Serve."

The first two sentences were nothing and were expected, but the last two sentences surprised everyone except the three main leaders.

"Ordnance Sergeant, Sergeant Major, it's all normal. Staff Sergeant?" Zhang Yimo said.

This year, staff sergeant is still a new term that has not appeared. Even though Zhang Yimo is a senior staff officer decentralized from the military region headquarters, a deputy regimental deputy chairman of the colonel, and a serious high-ranking and low-ranking official, he has never been I thought that the staff officer could be a non-commissioned officer.

Staff officers have always been cadres, and assistants are also cadres.The particularity of cadres is not only reflected in the treatment, but also in the ability to participate in auxiliary decision-making.

Let non-commissioned officers serve as staff officers, that is to say, it is the non-commissioned officers who provide training suggestions to the battalion commander.How unimaginable this is.Although Zhang Yimo is a highly educated military officer of the younger generation, he has never changed his traditional views.

That's why he asked in surprise.

Xu Zhan, who had been silent, cleared his throat. Everyone looked at the new leader. Xu Zhan said steadily, "Different recruit battalions must be configured in this way. In the future, the same system will be gradually introduced into combat battalions. At the highest level, the issue of increasing the share of non-commissioned officers and reducing the number of officers Quantitative instructions have long existed. Since the 107th Regiment is an experimental unit, it should be the pioneer. Moreover, there is a large amount of data showing that professional non-commissioned officers can perform certain positions. The non-commissioned officer academies have begun to classify new majors. , no longer limited to command and technical categories.”

His voice had a dull, thunderous feel, like heavy mechanized troops rolling over the ground.After a pause to let everyone digest, Xu Zhan continued, "If the army needs to be restructured, the key and difficulty lies in the organization and the personnel system. If our organization is changed, but the personnel system is not changed, it will not be considered a complete change."

After speaking, he looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded slightly, crossed his fingers and placed them casually on the table, and glanced at it out of habit. At this glance, everyone subconsciously straightened their backs.

Xu Zhan saw this scene in his eyes and felt even more uncomfortable.The deputy leader, who is ten years younger than me, has absolute authority in front of the troops that exceeds his own. This phenomenon has never been seen before.

The clues can be seen just from the team configuration. There is a deputy speaker, but this deputy speaker is Zhang Yimo.Who is Zhang Yimo? Gao Shen of the Military Region Command is Li Mu's assistant in the research team of the 107th Regiment of the Military Region Command!

You know, the establishment research group has not been canceled until now!

Xu Zhan easily understood that the superior leadership had made it clear that they were supporting Li Mu's work, and it was only because of his seniority that he sat in the position that originally belonged to Li Mu.The hidden consciousness is obvious, you may not cooperate, but you cannot influence it.

It is a rare qualification to be the commander of the army's first brand new experimental unit, even if it is only for one year.After Xiang understood, Xu Zhan's mentality gradually adjusted, and his mood was not too bad.

"Everyone, I can tell you that in the near future, including the officer system, the non-commissioned officer system, and extending to the military rank system, all will be changed, and the changes will be deepened. Without changes, we will not be able to adapt to the requirements of future wars, and without changes, we will not be able to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army. The highest The commander-in-chief made it clear that all work is aimed at improving combat effectiveness. All work, including political work. Improving combat effectiveness is the starting point and the end goal."

Li Mu's voice was much deeper and reached everyone's ears very clearly.

"Take myself as an example, the deputy leader of the major, and my subordinate, take Chief of Staff Xu Yan as an example, he is a lieutenant colonel. The military rank of the subordinate is higher than that of the superior. This is very unreasonable and also causes The relationship between military positions and military ranks is confusing. Promotion of military ranks based on years of experience cannot fully reflect the advantages of the military rank system. For example, a technical officer may only be a major, but he may also be 50 years old. The military rank does not go up, but the treatment is as follows. The number of officers increases with the number of years and contributions. The benefits of doing so are obvious, as there is specialization in the field of surgery, and at the same time, the number of officers can be effectively controlled.”

If these words were spoken a year or two later, no one would feel that there was anything wrong.The point is, there is almost no information about this right now, so why does Li Mu dare to say that?
The explanation that everyone can think of is that Li Mu has obtained information from a higher level of leadership through channels.

In the prospects described by Li Mu, everyone saw a better development prospect, which was not only related to themselves, but also related to more people, including the recruits who joined the army this year.Deepening the reform of the noncommissioned officer system has been ongoing, but the reform of the officer system is full of difficulties. It is not difficult to understand why.

The method Li Mu mentioned is undoubtedly the most suitable method for the actual situation.If officers with outstanding abilities but who have reached the end of their service years do not want to change careers under the current environment, they must try their best to move up.This can even lead to corruption.

As far as the army is concerned, it is clear that this officer is very capable, but his service life has expired, and he can only watch the brain drain.

This situation has been common among non-commissioned officers for a long time. Therefore, the non-commissioned officer system has been continuously deepened and changed, wages have been increased, and non-commissioned officers' ranks have been changed, until talents can be retained.The same goes for the officer corps.

If according to the method envisioned by Li Mu, officers who have reached the end of their service years will not be promoted to a higher position. It does not matter. They can continue to serve. Their military rank will remain unchanged and their positions will remain unchanged, but their remuneration will change. As long as you can prove your ability, let The troops need you.It is only necessary to change the length of service, and refer to the new non-commissioned officer system to convert the current complex number of years into three major grades, ten years, 20 years, and 30 years.

Maximize talent retention.

In some countries four or 50-year-old captain officers abound.

Knocking on the table gently to calm everyone's thoughts, Li Mu spoke in a calm tone, but everyone could hear his words: "Therefore, the 107th Regiment will resolutely implement the reform of the officer and non-commissioned officer system."

"This is also what our 107th Regiment needs to do."
