Bathed in the sun, the building of the national defense training base in the SAR is particularly spectacular. Teams of energetic soldiers strode forward against the rising sun, and loud military songs resounded through the sky. This is a new army full of vigor and vitality, known as the National Defence Force of the Special Zone, and a new type of army under the dual leadership of local party committees, governments and military organs at higher levels. In just three years, this new brigade of soldiers in the people overcame unimaginable difficulties with extraordinary perseverance and will, built a green Great Wall in the special zone, won the "first place" from the military competition between the Guangzhou Military Region and the five central and southern provinces, and handed over a cheering answer sheet. Its name is Shantou Reserve Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we didn't know that the original position of the reserve antiaircraft artillery regiment was in the May 7th Cadre School in the old Shantou area. It is located at the junction of Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang, in the depths of the mountain. No one can be seen before, and no shops can be found behind it. There is no standard barracks and no training ground. The mobile phone can only be used as an alarm clock here, and the TV only has snowflakes floating. However, here, a group of camouflage jumpers, a group of active officers and men who have been transferred from the field army and other border and coastal defense forces, began their arduous entrepreneurial journey. Entrepreneurship starts from scratch. A group of party member, headed by Li Jun, political commissar of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, rolled up their bedding and shouted the slogan "Be a pioneer and never be a passer-by" in a dark and damp stone house. The Communist Youth League Party Committee takes the special zone as the classroom, takes the education of hard struggle as the guide, unlocks the minds of subordinates with wisdom, and ignites the ideal sails of officers and men. Since then, there have been moving figures in the depths of the mountains. Like "Nanniwan" and the Great Northern Wilderness, the upsurge of digging holes, reclaiming land and growing vegetables is getting higher and higher. Three years ago, 65438+1October 1 1 was an unforgettable day for all officers and men in the reserve. Because the team was officially established on this day, that is, from that day on, it shows that the anti-aircraft artillery regiment has taken a big step forward. The dual-leadership Yuxin Brigade Reserve Force is a new type of force, with active servicemen as the backbone and reserve officers and soldiers as the basis, which is between active troops and militia. The particularity of the dual leadership of military organs at higher levels and local governments determines that the reserve forces must actively coordinate all aspects. To this end, the team has established a regular reporting system and frequently visited places to increase mutual trust and understanding; We have extensively carried out the activities of co-construction and love between the military and the people, actively participated in the construction of local key projects and urgent and dangerous tasks, and established a team image in the hearts of the people of the SAR. Because the team is relatively independent and far away from the urban area, it is inconvenient for family members to find jobs, children to go to school and daily life. Therefore, how to settle the officers in active service has become an important problem that needs to be solved urgently after the formation of the team. In order to create a loving living environment, the leaders of the Youth League ran around and applied for funds to build family homes in urban areas to solve the worries of family members and cadres. For this new national defense brigade, the people of the SAR welcomed it with full political enthusiasm, and the leaders of Shantou City cultivated this green Great Wall with selfless affection. They think what the officers and men of the army think and are anxious about what the officers and men of the army are anxious about. The municipal party and government organs allocated nearly 10 million yuan to buy 50 sets of family housing for the active cadres of Shantou City. On the occasion of the arrival of the first Spring Festival in the new century, the family members of the whole regiment who met the requirements for enlistment bid farewell to the separated life of the cowherd and the weaver girl in the past, and came to the SAR from Central South, where they spent an unforgettable happy year in a bright and tidy new house. On the issue of resettlement of cadres' families, local party and government organs have specially issued policy documents for this purpose, so that all cadres' families embedded in the army can be properly resettled by the mission. Grass-roots units have no offices, and local party and government departments at all levels and officers and men have ideas to find ways. In all districts, towns and streets, better rooms have been specially set aside as office buildings for the battalion company of the reserve forces, and great efforts have been made to rebuild them according to the standards for the construction of the battalion company of the reserve forces, so that the construction of the battalion company of the whole regiment has reached the prescribed standards and requirements. Training hard and winning military training is the central task of the army, and it is also the most effective way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army in peacetime. How about the military training of the newly formed reserve forces? How can we get the maximum training benefit? A group of people from the Communist Youth League Party Committee replied loudly: Soldiers exist for war. When the troops strive to win the battle, the leaders must strive to be outstanding representatives of advanced combat effectiveness. Therefore, shouldering the sacred historical mission, in line with the idea of being ready to lead the troops to fight at any time, with a sense of hardship and a strong sense of hardship, and with a never-ending fighting posture, we resolutely sang all the battle songs to win. -In order to meet the needs of military struggle preparation, they consciously overcome many problems such as lack of training venues, training backbones, and insufficient equipment, and adopt independent training, substitute training, joint training, and joint training to carry out scientific and technological training; Organize 15 batches involving 2 1 major ***360 active and pre-service officers and soldiers to participate in professional training; And strive to improve methods and means, vigorously carry out simulation training and "online training" to promote the rapid rise of the overall combat capability of the team. At the end of 2002, the troops went to the shooting range of Guangzhou Military Region to conduct the year-end live ammunition assessment of anti-aircraft artillery units, so as to shoot down eight towed targets successfully and win a full house applause. Participated in the anti-air raid drills organized by the Guangzhou Military Region, and demonstrated their well-trained fighting skills with wonderful performances. In the military training examination organized by Guangzhou Military Region for reserve units in five central and southern provinces (regions), the overall evaluation won the first place in the reserve forces in the whole region. In the unremitting pursuit of winning the drill, a group of members of the Communist Youth League Party Committee have always been thinking about a problem: inconvenient transportation and communication in the station, and the pre-appointed officers and men are far away from the city. How to organize and convene them to study and train? How to shoulder the air defense mission of defending special economic zones? To this end, the team leaders rushed around to achieve a rise in combat effectiveness and submitted a relocation report to the Shantou Special Economic Zone Government. In May last year, the joint meeting of Shantou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government approved the relocation report. Moreover, the far-sighted leaders of the municipal party committee and municipal government generously donated14.5 million yuan to the eastern suburbs of the city to support them to rebuild a new regimental headquarters and comprehensive training base integrating office and training. Its large scale and complete functions are second to none among the national defense training bases in eastern Guangdong, and the air defense combat capability of the reserve antiaircraft artillery regiment has since opened a brand-new historical chapter. Advanced culture casts military soul. Political work is the lifeline of the army. In the face of the bustling city life in the SAR, what should we rely on to lay a solid ideological foundation for officers and men? What should we rely on to strengthen the ideals and beliefs of officers and men? The Communist Youth League Party Committee clearly realized that only by putting political work in the first place in army building can the team maintain high morale and high morale forever. At the beginning of the formation of the army, many people thought that they could live and work in peace and contentment when they came to the SAR. No one expected that they would live on another "hill" 27 kilometers away from the city. Faced with the huge contrast between subjective desire and objective reality, many people show negative thoughts in depression. The Communist Youth League Party Committee takes the special zone as the classroom to carry out ideological and political education in a targeted manner. The officers and men came to visit and study in colorful SAR cities. The ever-changing history of the SAR has made officers and men deeply understand the hardships of starting a business, the heavy responsibility on their shoulders and the hope of the team. They secretly made up their minds that today's team is yesterday's special zone, and today's special zone also shows the future of the team. They are determined to draw beautiful pictures on the white paper of the new team with their own hands and hard work. Caring for the growth and progress of army cadres and soldiers is an important part of political work. The Communist Youth League Party Committee regards the interests of officers and men as heavy as mountains. For more than three years, the army has taken solving the family members' housing, job placement, children's enrollment and nursery, and household registration transfer as its first "warm heart project". Through hard work, with the strong support of the local party and government, the team has solved 50 sets of family housing and resettled 23 family members. The enrollment of children and the transfer of household registration were basically solved in the year of application. In order to create various conditions for soldiers to become talents, the Communist Youth League Party Committee has organized anti-aircraft gun professional teaching method training, anti-aircraft gun professional training and computer training, and actively encouraged officers and men to participate in various studies to improve their ability and quality. In the case of tight team funds, the Communist Youth League Committee provided 1 10,000 yuan to subsidize adult self-study and correspondence study for cadres, so that soldiers can "enter school when they join the army and graduate when they leave the army". Over the past few years, seven comrades in the regiment have successively obtained graduation certificates for undergraduate and junior college self-study exams, and 30 soldiers have taken the self-study exams for higher education in the whole army. A culture breeds a spirit. To build a solid ideological defense line for officers and men, the most important thing is to arm ourselves with Marxism, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents Theory. For more than three years, the army party Committee has always insisted on arming the minds of officers and men with scientific theories and placed the theoretical study of officers and men in an important position. After several years of tempering, officers and men's political beliefs have become firmer and their mental outlook has become better. With the rapid popularization of high-tech means of communication and the Internet, various new ideas, new concepts and new knowledge emerge one after another. To resist corruption and change, the key is to offer healthy and civilized spiritual food to officers and men and educate them with advanced ideology and culture. In recent years, when the army has a major political education, it organizes officers and men to receive education at the patriotic education base in the special zone. It also often organizes officers and men to watch films on revolutionary traditional themes, and invites pre-leaders in the team to talk about traditional history. Always adhere to the lofty spirit and glorious revolutionary tradition to shape officers and men, and the troops always remain pure and stable. In order to enliven the army's amateur cultural life, the regiment also spent 50,000 yuan to buy table tennis tables, chess, poker, books and other cultural and sports equipment for officers and men, and set up an amateur literature and art propaganda team to make full use of holidays to carry out military-civilian get-together activities with resident people, which better enriched the amateur cultural life of officers and men. Last year, the army also set up temporary clubs and opened reading rooms, table tennis and other entertainment places, creating a healthy and upward living environment for officers and men.
