Since the full launch of the military reform, the squadron has undergone profound changes in many fields such as organizational structure, establishment system, and functional positioning, and has achieved a major leap from quantity and scale to quality and efficiency, and from manpower-intensive to science and technology-intensive.
First of all, with regard to the military command system, the military reform has abandoned the original CMC headquarters system and innovatively built an operational command system of the CMC, theaters, and troops, and a leadership and management system of the CMC, the services, and the troops. This reform is aimed at reducing the hierarchy of command, improving the ability to make rapid decisions and actions in response to complex security threats, ensuring that strategic intent is transmitted directly to front-line troops, and improving overall operational efficiency.
Second, the reform of the troop establishment has been unprecedentedly vigorous, with the number of army group armies reduced from 18 to 13, and the various group armies have been transformed into a composite army. The Army has implemented the "army-brigade-battalion" system to replace the traditional four-tier system, and has built each group army into a modern combat cluster integrating various forces, such as brigades, special forces combat brigades, army aviation brigades, artillery brigades, and air defense brigades, so that the troops will be more flexible and efficient, and will adapt to the diverse, sudden, and high-intensity characteristics of modern warfare.
As an important force in maritime defense and offense, the Navy's organizational structure has also been readjusted, and the rank of chief naval officer has been adjusted to the theater level, thus strengthening the Navy's position in theater joint operations. At the same time, the status and strength of the Marine Corps have been significantly improved to meet the increasingly complex needs of amphibious operations and enhance rapid response and all-domain arrival capabilities.
In addition, after the military reform, the focus of the functions of the provincial military district has shifted from the previous operational command to the fields of national defense mobilization, military service recruitment, national defense education, protection of national defense facilities, and military-civilian integration, further deepening the in-depth integration of the military and local social and economic development.
