There are many types of troops in the modern army, which can be divided into different types according to different classification criteria. Common classifications include by operational domain, nature of mission, and equipment.
According to the field of operations, the arms in the modern army can be divided into land, sea, air force, and rocket forces. Each of these arms performs its own duties, has a clear division of labor, and jointly accomplishes combat tasks. The Army is mainly responsible for ground operations, including infantry, armor, artillery, and special operations. The Navy is mainly responsible for maritime operations, including surface ships, submarines, naval aviation, and marines. The Air Force is mainly responsible for air operations, including fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and transport aircraft. The Rocket Force is mainly responsible for the launch of strategic missiles and nuclear deterrence.
In the modern armed forces, the relationship between the different branches of the armed forces is very close, interdependent, and indispensable. For example, in joint operations, the army needs to coordinate with the air force, marines and other arms to jointly complete combat missions; The Navy needs to conduct joint operations with the Air Force, Army, etc., to ensure maritime security and combat the enemy; The Rocket Force needs to work closely with other branches of the armed forces to ensure the effective use of strategic deterrent forces.
In addition to differences in the field of operations, the arms in a modern army can also be classified according to the nature of the task. According to the nature of the mission, the arms can be divided into combat arms, combat support arms, and service support arms. Combat arms mainly undertake combat missions, including infantry, armor, artillery, etc.; The combat support arms mainly provide combat support, including reconnaissance, signal troops, engineering troops, etc.; The service support arms mainly provide logistical support, including health troops, transport troops, logistics support troops, etc.
In the modern army, there is also a close relationship between the different types of troops of different mission natures. For example, the combat support arms need to provide reconnaissance and communications support to the combat arms to ensure the effective conduct of combat operations; The logistical support arms need to provide logistical support for the combat arms and ensure the sustained combat effectiveness of the combat forces.
In addition to classification according to the field of operations and the nature of the task, the arms in the modern army can also be classified according to the best equipment. According to **equipment, the arms can be divided into light **equipment and heavy**equipment. Light equipment mainly includes rifles, pistols and submachine guns; Heavy equipment mainly includes tanks, artillery and missiles and other heavy equipment.
In the modern army, the relationship between the different arms of the armed forces is also very close. For example, lightly equipped infantry needs to coordinate with heavily equipped artillery to strike at the enemy together; Heavily equipped tanks need to be used in conjunction with lightly equipped rifles to improve combat effectiveness.
In short, there are many types of arms in the modern army, each with its own characteristics, and the relationship between them is very close. Understanding the classification standards and relationships between different arms of the armed forces will help to better understand the organizational structure and combat mode of the armed forces, and provide a useful reference for improving the combat effectiveness and cooperative combat capability of the armed forces.
