The concept of national defense is the ideological basis of citizens' national defense activities. Only when citizens have a certain concept of national defense can they actively learn national defense knowledge and military skills and actively fulfill their national defense obligations. Correctly realize that a country must have sufficient comprehensive national strength to stand on its own feet among the nations of the world, which has actual political, economic, diplomatic, scientific and technological, national defense strength and war potential. "National wealth" cannot be regarded as "national strength", and "father of the country" and "national strength" must be promoted simultaneously.

2, master the knowledge of national defense.

National defense knowledge is the basic common sense and theory about national defense that citizens should understand and master. The main contents of national defense knowledge include national defense basic theory, military knowledge, national defense history, national defense forms, national defense legal system and so on. In national defense education, citizens should also actively master the necessary military skills through national defense sports, military training, strategic exercises and other activities, and further consolidate national defense knowledge in these practical education links.

3. Carry forward the spirit of patriotism.

Patriotism is the core content of Guo Gang's education. Lenin pointed out: patriotism is an infinite love for the motherland that has been fixed for thousands of years, which enables us to hate the aggressors, actively participate in the construction of the motherland, and shed blood to defend the motherland. Patriotism is manifested in loving the motherland's great rivers and mountains, science and culture, long history and fine traditions, and caring about the future and destiny of the motherland, the people and the country.

4. Consciously fulfill national defense obligations. In order to ensure the performance of national defense obligations, national defense education must make the general public deeply understand the particularity of national defense interests. Consciously form a good social fashion of "doing your duty for national defense and winning glory".

Extended data:

"Born in sorrow and died in happiness" is an irrefutable truth that has been repeatedly proved for thousands of years. Only by maintaining enough sense of urgency and seeing the threats we face can we have the courage and determination to make great efforts and make progress. The field of military news is full of blood and fire, glory and shame, and it is the most ideal media platform for the education of hardship consciousness. In order to make the sense of hardship deeply rooted in people's hearts, military news propaganda should not only pay attention to the analysis of the current international and domestic situation, but also pay attention to the early warning report of possible crises, even if the real situation is not so dangerous at present.
