The member of the Military Commission of the People's Republic of China is one of the highest institutions of the country, along with the National People's Procuratorate and the National People's Court. It is composed of members of the Military Commission and senior leaders such as ***.
Historically, there have been as many as 8 members of the Military Commission, and there are 4 members, but the positions they hold are still little known.
The changes of the Military Commission have undergone complex evolution, and outstanding leaders such as ** have successively taken charge of the Military Commission. In 1925, the military department was established, and the following year, the Military Commission was formally established, with the post of secretary.
After the end of the domestic revolutionary war, the members of the Military Commission were scattered in various places to lead the battle, and the Military Commission existed in name only. In 1931, the Chinese Soviet Republic was founded, and a series of military commissars headed by the Red Army were appointed as the leading military institutions, and the Revolutionary Military Council in the history of the Red Army was born.
Since then, the leading military organization has undergone changes in different periods, such as the Long March, the Eighth Route Army, and the War of Liberation.
In November 1948, the CCP officially adopted the name "Chinese Revolutionary Military Committee". On September 28, 1954, at the meeting of the Communist Party of China, it was emphasized that in order to better lead the entire military work, the party's military committee should be re-established.
In this context, the "Military Committee" was renamed the "Chinese People's Defense Committee". * The move is aimed at strengthening the CCP's leadership over the military and adapting it to the national leadership system.
During the period from 1959 to the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Military Commission had a standing committee, and after the abolition of the standing committee in 1982, the Military Commission ushered in a new leadership group.
The new team consists mainly of a Secretary-General and four Deputy Secretaries-General, who are responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the military. In June 1983, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the Communist Party of China established the National Military Commission and elected four members of the Military Commission as members of the army's leading group.
Since then, the "Military Council" has officially changed its name to "**Military Council". However, this is only a starting point in the long history of the CMC.
Before 1988, the number and positions of members of the Central Military Commission were relatively fixed. They are all deputy secretaries-general of the ** Military Commission, and concurrently hold key positions in the State Military Commission, such as Chief of General Staff, Minister of National Defense, Director of the General Logistics Department, and Director of the General Political Department.
In these core positions, they have important military responsibilities. Prior to this, many of the founding generals had also held the positions of vice chairmen of the Military Commission, and they were all important members of the second-generation leadership.
It was not until 1988 that the number of members of the Central Military Commission increased from four to six, and their positions were also changed, now including two deputy secretaries-general, chief of the General Staff, minister of national defense, director of the General Logistics Department, and director of the General Political Department.
In 1990, the CMC underwent a reshuffle, and two deputy secretaries-general withdrew, one of whom joined the CPPCC and the other was promoted to vice chairman. In 1992, the Military Commission established the post of "member", and there were only four members of the Military Commission, including the chief of the General Staff, the minister of national defense, the director of the General Political Department, and the director of the General Logistics Department.
In 1995, the Central Military Commission was readjusted again, the chief of the General Staff and the minister of national defense were promoted to vice presidents, the former director of the General Logistics Department took over as the chief of the General Staff, and the new director of the General Logistics Department concurrently served as secretary of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission.
The original number of members of the Military Commission remained unchanged, but their positions were adjusted, and new posts such as "director of the General Political Department, director of the General Logistics Department, chief of the General Staff, deputy director of the General Political Department, and secretary of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission" appeared.
In 1998, with the establishment of the "** Reserve Department", the "* Reserve Department" was also added as a member of the ** Military Commission. In 1999, the executive deputy director of the General Political Department and the executive deputy chief of staff of the General Staff became the new members of the ** Military Commission.
During this time, the number of members of the ** Military Commission increased to 7.
In 2002, the Military Council was reorganized, and the number of members was returned to the previous four, and it was changed to "Chief of the General Staff, Director of the General Logistics Department, Director of the General Political Department, and Director of the ** Reserve Department".
In 2004, the ranks of members of the Central Military Commission were expanded again, and the number of members increased to seven with the addition of "director of the Xin** Reserve Department" and "commander of the Second Artillery Corps of the Navy and Air Force."
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of members of the Central Military Commission was as high as dozen, and this was in line with the basic national conditions of the country at that time. They have laid down the Chinese country with sweat and blood, and have rich practical and combat experience, so it is natural that they should protect this land.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's army has achieved historic breakthroughs through repeated streamlining and reform of the armed forces. ** The Military Commission will continue to carry out reforms and adjustments in accordance with the actual situation in the country.
At the same time, the leadership structure of the Military Council has become increasingly diverse, and the balance between the different functions and services has been further consolidated.
After the military reform, the number of members of the Central Military Commission was reduced to four, including "chief of staff of the Joint Staff," "minister of national defense," "secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection," and "director of the Political Work Department." This change has continued to this day.
The number of members of the previous ** Military Commission has changed greatly, from four to eight, and the rankings and positions have also been adjusted according to national conditions. This reflects the continuous optimization and progress of China's national defense system.
The change in the composition of the military council is not a simple adjustment in the number of people, but is closely linked to the development and strategic needs of the national army. The adjustment of quotas, posts, and the entry or withdrawal of branches and functions of the armed forces are all aimed at better meeting the needs of the current situation and ensuring national defense security.
The election of members of the Military Commission at every step of history is the result of careful consideration, which not only reflects the strategic vision of the state leaders and the decision-making ability of the top military leaders, but is also a comprehensive embodiment of multiple factors such as the leadership system and the national strategy.
During his tenure of office, every member of the Military Commission has carried the great trust of the state and the people and has made tremendous contributions to the development and stability of the national defense cause. Observing a series of reforms of the Military Commission, although the list of members of the Military Commission has increased or decreased, it has always maintained a high degree of stability and effectiveness, which will not only help the squadron to provide sufficient support and guidance for the national military strategy in the face of new challenges and opportunities, but also help maintain the effective operation of the military leadership.
The military reform in 2017 was the largest in the history of the squadron, and its far-reaching impact and wide scope made it have a profound impact on the entire army.
After the reform, the squadron has undergone some remarkable changes, the most obvious of which is that the original four headquarters of the People's Liberation Army - the Reserve Department, the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department and the General Political Department have been replaced by a number of functional departments of the Central Military Commission.
Before the reform, these four departments were not only the leading organs of the armed forces but also the working organs of the Central Military Commission, but after the reform, these four departments were replaced by 15 functional departments, including the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission, the National Defense Mobilization Department of the Central Military Commission, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, and the Political and Legal Committee of the Central Military Commission.
The functions of the various departments under the Central Military Commission are different, and the "Military Discipline Inspection Commission" is an independent organ set up for the purpose of strengthening the independence and necessity of discipline inspection and supervision, and is equal to the Ministry of Political Work.
At the same time, the former secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection no longer concurrently holds the post of the Political Work Department. In 2017, the heads of the logistics and armament departments, as well as the commanders of the various services, also ceased to be members of the Military Commission.
In the tide of change,"Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection"The inclusion of this role in the leading body of the Military Commission fully demonstrates the great importance that the state attaches to discipline inspection and supervision work.
At the same time, the squadron carried out the adjustment of the theater of operations, the original"Seven military regions"has been"Five war zones"replaced, and the joint operation of the three services became a reality. Before reforming the army, the PLA had relatively weak mobility and relied mainly on heavy forces and dispersed deployment for defense, but today, the PLA is well established"All-area operations"construction goals.
After the Air Force underwent reforms, there has not been much change in the strength of the force, and most of the reforms have focused on the composition of the troops, and special aircraft regiments and special aircraft divisions have been set up in many theaters, and the structure of the arms has been markedly improved.
The Chinese Navy has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, making remarkable progress in both the number and quality of ships. The large number of missile frigates, conventional submarines, missile destroyers, and other capital ships, some of which have even been overnumbered, shows the rapid development of the Chinese Navy.
At the same time, the increase in attack warships, aircraft carriers, and various supply warships has enabled China's naval strength to achieve a qualitative leap. Although the strength of the People's Liberation Army is only 2 million, there has been a significant degree of progress and development in terms of heavy strength.
In the course of military reform, although some logistics departments have been streamlined or downsized, the number of naval and rocket units has increased, and the combat strength at the grassroots level has been greatly enriched, which is also an important manifestation of the development of China's navy.
In order to improve the combat capability of the army, military reform allocates more resources and personnel to combat units. In the course of this reform, the personnel of organs and units at and above the regimental level and those of non-combat mechanisms have been reduced on a large scale, and the number of officers in the units has also been reduced by about 30 percent.
At the same time, in order to enhance the leadership of the Army, the leadership functions that were previously exercised by the four major general departments are now the responsibility of the Army's own theater leadership organs.
Similarly, the National University of Defense Technology has merged many military schools in this reform, and its size has been significantly increased compared to the past. This tortuous history records the evolution of China's national defense system, and also reflects the structural and leadership adjustments of the squadron at different stages.
Each adjustment is accompanied by the rapid changes in the international situation and the evolution of national defense and security needs, and the leadership of the squadron has accumulated rich experience and wisdom in the reform of the previous military commissions.
It is precisely in this process of constant change that the modernization of the squadron has achieved remarkable results. Whether it is the upgrading of military equipment or the development and change of military strategy, the influence and deterrence of the squadron in the international arena are constantly improving.
The "third major campaign" of military reform has begun, and this is a profound change that involves a change in the concept and method of administering the army. On the military forum of the China ** Network, we can see the list of members and functions of the previous military committees, which provides important reference materials for this change.
