In recent years, along with the continuous changes in the security situation in the surrounding areas and the rapid economic and social development of our country, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has carried out a comprehensive and in-depth reform. Among them, the navy, as an important part of our national defense forces, has been deepened and improved from this reform. The purpose of this article is to analyze some changes in the military reform of the PLA Navy, hoping to help you better understand China's national defense strength.
First of all, let's talk about what aspects of the navy absorbed during the military reform. As everyone knows, the Navy has a number of specialized units, including naval aviation, marines, surface ship units, underwater submarine units, and shore-based defense units. Through military reform, the navy has successfully absorbed some personnel and resources from the army's coastal defense units and the army's mechanized composite units, which has not only greatly enhanced the navy's strength, but also further enhanced the diversity of the combat capability of the entire force system. In addition, the Navy has also adjusted part of the coastal border defense forces into marine brigades, and the addition of these forces has greatly changed the Navy's traditional combat methods. In addition to land combat, the Navy has also strengthened its training and development of all-dimensional combat capabilities at sea, in the air, and under water.
Second, after the military reform, part of the Navy's logistical support forces were merged into the joint logistics support force system. The concept of "joint logistics support" has enabled the deployment and utilization of logistical resources more efficiently and provided strong support for the entire military system. As the "lubricant" of the armed forces, this reform will also help reduce logistics costs, improve service efficiency, and make support work more suited to the needs of modern warfare.
Of course, in the course of any reform, it is inevitable that certain adjustments will occur. In the current military reform, in accordance with the principle of territorial ownership, some of the navy's military cadres and rest houses will be handed over to the relevant provincial and municipal military districts or garrison districts to be responsible for management, and will no longer be independently undertaken by the navy. In addition, some hospitals, such as the former Navy General Hospital and the former Navy Anqing Hospital, have also been handed over to the enterprise "Rongtong Group" for operation and management. Nevertheless, these adjustments still contribute to the integration and optimization of naval resources.
In addition, after the military reform, some shore-based fighter and bomber units of the Navy have been transferred to the Air Force. This shift signals that the Navy will focus its main efforts on developing aircraft carrier-based aircraft forces to meet the growing challenges of maritime security. At the same time, the navy will still retain early warning planes, antisubmarine patrol planes, electronic jamming planes, and other special aircraft units in order to enhance the overall combat level of the troops.
To sum up, as a result of this military reform, the PLA Navy has achieved remarkable results in combat capability, logistical support capability, and personnel management. Although the current international environment is still complex, we still need to remain vigilant and always be prepared to meet the challenges we may face. Finally, let us hope that in the near future, the PLA Navy will make more remarkable achievements and contribute more to building a harmonious and stable marine environment!
