Our country has a vast territory, and the land border line is 220,000 km, coastline 320,000 km, of which the coastline is more divided into continental coastlines (180,000 km) and the coastline of the island (140,000 km). This long border requires strong border guards. In the past seven military regions, the border regiment and the coastal defense division were the first line of defense to protect the country.
The military reform in 2016 brought about great changes, and the border regiments and coastal defense divisions became history, and they were replaced by border brigades and coastal defense brigades. This article will focus on the border brigade under the theater system, especially the arrangement of the infantry battalion under its jurisdiction. In order to better understand this change, let's delve into the reasons for the birth of the ** border brigade and the peculiarities of the machine infantry battalion.
In November 2015, the military reform kicked off and the army leadership was established. In February 2016, the seven military regions withdrew from the stage of history, and the five major theaters emerged. During the same period, the Theater Army was established to be responsible for the construction of the services of the theater army system. In this round of military reform, the provincial military districts (including the Beijing Garrison, the Xinjiang Military Region, and the ** Military Region) that were originally led by the large military region were transferred to the National Defense Mobilization Department of the ** Military Commission, while the reserve forces, border and coastal defense units, and field troops under them were transferred to the army of the theater where they were located. The border regiment was reorganized into a border brigade, and the coastal defense division was reorganized into a coastal defense brigade. Provincial military districts under the theater system are mainly responsible for national defense mobilization, double-support work, and militia building, and can be regarded as the "big rear" of field troops.
At the theater army level, there are units such as the "Southern Theater Army Border and Coastal Defense Office" and the "Northern Theater Army Staff Border and Coastal Defense Office" to be responsible for border and coastal defense related affairs in their respective theaters. Due to the fact that the nature of the border and coastal defense units is different from that of the field troops, they are independent of the 13 group armies. However, in order to facilitate coordinated management and coordination with field troops, it is particularly necessary to implement the "brigade-battalion-company" system.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that due to the length of the border between the Xinjiang Military Region and the ** Military Region, the coexistence of border brigades and border regiments has occurred in these two areas. Compared with the era of large military regions, today's frontier brigades have significant advantages in terms of numbers, area under their jurisdiction, and complete range of arms. The reason for this change is simple: the upgrade of equipment has made it difficult for border regiments with fewer numbers and smaller establishments to cope with the new situation, while border brigades have been able to effectively solve this problem and give full play to the mobility flexibility of the brigade-level structure.
To understand the border brigade in depth, first we need to understand the concept of a machine infantry battalion. The Infantry Battalion is similar to a composite battalion, integrating all types of troops into a battalion-level structure. Even the infantry battalion can fight independently, does not rely on brigade-level ** support, and has become the mainstay of the front-line support force of the border brigade. It should be made clear that the infantry company under the jurisdiction of the infantry battalion is not a "mechanized infantry company", but a motorized infantry company.
Taking the exercise of the aircraft infantry battalion of a certain frontier brigade of the Southern Theater Army as an example, the battalion organized an armored detachment, a firepower group, an assault group, an engineer group, a reconnaissance group, and other combat units. Under the unified command of the battalion headquarters, the combat groups carried out tactical drills such as coordinated operations with equipment, tactical drills on air defense, and accurate targeting of artillery fire. From the point of view of multi-arm coordinated operations, the combat strength of the infantry battalion has shown extremely strong strength.
The infantry battalion of the border brigade was equipped with 6 6-wheeled infantry combat vehicles, on which the infantry was mounted. The infantry chariot itself has a certain amount of firepower, coupled with the infantry's self-sustaining**, so that firepower is no longer a problem. The reason why the Jibu Battalion is called the Jibu Battalion is precisely because of the support of the infantry chariots. Infantry fighting vehicles can both carry infantry for mobile combat and accompany infantry.
In addition, our army's informationization, intelligence, and mechanization are already in place, and the combat effectiveness of a machine-infantry battalion is almost the same as that of a frontier regiment. In addition to the infantry battalion, the border brigade is also equipped with artillery battalions, support battalions and other support forces, similar to the composite brigades to which the group army belongs. However, the border brigade is not exactly the same as the composite brigade in terms of equipment, combat training and tactics, and logistical support.
On the whole, the emergence of the border brigade has consolidated the role of the defense force as a "front-line stormtrooper" and a "national guard". The frontier brigade closely revolves around the "border defense" to maintain border stability in peacetime and to support and respond to field troops in wartime. It is worth mentioning that the situation with the coastal defense brigade is similar to that of the border brigade, except that it is responsible for the coastline. Due to the peculiarities of the nature of the mission, the coastal defense brigade is more like a well-equipped all-rounder version of the "Army Naval Corps", which is another interesting topic.
Summing up the above, the birth of the border brigade is not only a major readjustment of the structure of our army's troops, but also a powerful response to the military needs of the new period. The introduction of the Jibu Battalion has enabled the border brigade to display strong combat effectiveness in multi-arm coordinated operations. The introduction of this new establishment and tactics has further enhanced the overall combat capability of our army's border defense units and ensured the security and stability of the country's territory.
The article "New Changes in Border Defense" profoundly analyzes the reorganization of the frontier brigade and the formation and adjustment of the infantry battalion under the theater system, and shows the scientific response and strategic adjustment of the squadron to the military needs in the new era in the process of continuous development and growth. In this article, the author has made readers have a clearer understanding of the changes of our team through detailed descriptions and vivid case displays.
First of all, by outlining China's vast frontier line and the huge number of coastlines, the article vividly shows the huge border tasks facing China, and provides a profound background for the adjustment of the border defense brigade in the future. This has made people realize that in such a vast territory, the units concerned must constantly adjust their structure to adapt to the new military situation and tasks.
Secondly, through the review of the military reform in 2016, the article points out the reasons behind the formation of the border brigade, which is mainly attributed to the establishment of the theater system and the transfer of provincial military districts. This change is not only an adjustment of the military organizational structure, but also an important strategy for the squadron to cope with the current military challenges and enhance its combat effectiveness. In this process, the reorganization of the frontier regiment into a frontier brigade and the reorganization of the coastal defense division into a coastal defense brigade have highlighted the scientific and forward-looking nature of our army in the overall army building.
The explanation of the Jibu camp makes the article even more lively and interesting. Through the case analysis of the exercise of the infantry battalion of a certain frontier brigade of the army in the Southern Theater, readers have an in-depth understanding of the establishment and actual combat capability of the infantry battalion. In particular, the mobility and flexibility of the infantry battalion and the strong strength it has shown in the coordinated operation of multiple arms have presented readers with a vivid picture of military modernization. This is not only a science popularization for the Jibu Battalion, but also a microcosm of the squadron's continuous progress towards informatization, intelligence and mechanization.
Finally, by comparing the similarities and differences between the border brigade and the synthetic brigade, the article deeply excavates the uniqueness of the border brigade. Although it is similar to the composite brigade in terms of establishment and support force, the border brigade still maintains its particularity in terms of equipment, combat training and tactics, and logistical support. This underscores both the unique role of the border brigade in border tasks and its differentiation in the overall military establishment.
On the whole, the article "New Changes in Border Defense" provides readers with a better understanding of the strategic measures taken by our army under the current military situation through an in-depth interpretation of the adjustment and reform of our first team. Such an in-depth analysis not only enhances the reader's understanding of military knowledge, but also triggers a profound reflection on the modernization of our team.
