How many active generals are there in our army? What are your roles? Who is higher?
In the time frame of nearly ten years, the development and progress of the squadron is obvious to all. In particular, with regard to the awarding of the rank of general, we have witnessed a series of significant changes and advancements. With the strategic adjustment of the scale structure and force layout of the squadron, as well as the rapid development of new military forces, the awarding of the rank of general has not only accelerated in speed, but also shown new characteristics in scale, which fully reflects the determination and ability of the squadron to adapt to the requirements of the goal of strengthening the army in the new era.
In the past 10 years, a total of 68 leading cadres of the squadron have been awarded the rank of general. This figure represents an increase of about 15% over the previous decade, and this significant increase is not only a quantitative change, but also a qualitative leap. This trend shows that the squadron is speeding up the training and selection of high-level military personnel with strategic vision and ability to meet the needs of military struggles in the new situation. This is not only an affirmation of the modernization process of the squadron, but also a positive response to the changes in the global strategic pattern.
Under the leadership of these leading cadres of the armed forces who have won the rank of general, the squadron has demonstrated stronger and stronger influence and competitiveness in the international arena and has made important contributions to maintaining world peace.
In the course of the past ten years, the awarding of the rank of general of the squadron has shown a unique development trend and characteristics. During the period from 2013 to 2023, a total of 68 military leading cadres were awarded the rank of general, demonstrating the squadron's thoughtful and strategic layout in cultivating senior leading cadres. The promotion figures during this period reflect the squadron's active adjustment and optimization in adapting to the rapidly changing international security environment and internal development needs.
Year-on-year, the number of promoted generals fluctuates significantly, from 6 in 2013 to a peak of 17 in 2019 and then to 1 in 2023. This fluctuation is not only related to the specific situation and needs of each year, but also reflects the precision and prudence of the military leadership in personnel training and selection. In particular, in 2019, 17 people were promoted to generals within a year, a phenomenon closely related to the adjustment of the army's leadership team at that time, reflecting the reshaping and optimization of the army's senior command.
Looking at the long-term trend, in the seven years from 2015 to 2021, an average of nearly 10 people were promoted to general each year, and the number of promotions decreased in the two years from 2022 to 2023. This kind of adjustment reminds us that the squadron is tending to a more stable and rational speed and scale in the selection and promotion of senior military leaders. This is not only a summary of the past, but also a plan and expectation for the rationalization of the structure of the military leadership force in the future.
Through the promotion of the rank of general during this period of time, we can see that the squadron is gradually realizing its goal of modernization and transformation, and at the same time, it is also cultivating a team of senior military talents with strategic vision and leadership ability in order to achieve the long-term security and stability of the country.
In an in-depth analysis of the awarding of the rank of general in the ** team, we find that specific military positions are closely related to the awarding of the rank of general. In the past 10 years, theater commanders and service commanders have become the main positions promoted to the rank of general, which fully reflects the high importance that the squadron attaches to these key positions. In particular, since the establishment of the theater in 2015, a number of the first commanders and political commissars of the theater have been awarded the rank of general, which not only marks a major adjustment in the organizational structure and strategic deployment of the squadron, but also demonstrates a high degree of trust and expectations for the military leadership.
In second place are the Central Military Commission and the political commissars of the theaters and services. Over the past decade, a total of 27 people have received the rank of general while holding the post of political commissar. This data reflects the importance attached to political work in the composition of the senior leadership of the squadron, as well as the core position of the political commissar in the army.
In addition, the posts of deputy director of the General Political Department and deputy chief of the general staff of the General Staff are also important ways to be promoted to the rank of general, and a total of six people were promoted to the rank of general when they held these positions. In contrast, there are fewer cases in which the rank of general is obtained for positions such as the dean of military academies. These data show that serving as the chief officer of the theater and the service is the main "route" to the rank of general.
Through the analysis of the promotion of the rank of general in the first squadron in the past ten years, we can clearly see the composition of the positions and the promotion path of the senior leadership of the army. These data not only reveal the trend of standardization and rationalization of the promotion system of the first squadron generals, but also reflect the strategic layout and far-reaching considerations of the squadron in cultivating and selecting senior military leaders. This process undoubtedly provides a solid talent guarantee and intellectual support for the squadron to achieve the goal of strengthening the army.
