The army and the armed police are the two major components of the squadron, and there are some significant differences between them in terms of duties, tasks, organization, and equipment. Understanding these differences helps to better understand the structure and functions of the squadron.
First of all, the army and the armed police differ in their duties and tasks. The main responsibilities of the Army are to defend the territorial integrity of the country against external aggression, and the maintenance tasks include conducting border patrols, combating smuggling and illegal border crossings, as well as implementing the country's foreign strategy. The main responsibility of the armed police is to maintain public order in the country and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Tasks include participating in the handling of major incidents, carrying out tasks such as emergency rescue and disaster relief, and assisting the public security organs in combating criminal activities.
Second, there are organizational differences between the army and the armed police. The organizational structure of the army is relatively fixed, including infantry, armor, artillery, and other arms, each of which has relatively independent tasks and responsibilities. The armed police is a multi-functional rapid reaction force, composed of multiple police branches, such as firefighting, border defense, special police, etc., each police branch can be combined into different task units as needed to respond to various emergencies.
In addition, the army and the armed police also differ in terms of equipment and training. Army equipment mainly includes tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and other heavy **, as well as various infantry** and transport vehicles. The training aspect emphasizes skills such as shooting, tactics, and physical fitness to develop soldiers' survivability and combat effectiveness on the battlefield. The armed police, on the other hand, are equipped with a more diverse range of equipment, including non-lethal items such as batons and handcuffs, and lethal items such as firearms, as well as various means of communication and transportation. In terms of training, more emphasis is placed on law enforcement skills and the ability to respond to emergencies to ensure the security and stability of society.
In general, the army and the armed police, as the two major components of the squadron, each has different responsibilities and tasks. The army is mainly responsible for the country's national defense and security, while the armed police are responsible for maintaining public order in the country. Although the tasks of the two are different, they are both important components of the squadron and work together to maintain the security and stability of the country.
