The reserve forces are neither active nor militia. Its full name is "Chinese People's Liberation Army Reserve Force". It is an integral part of China People's Liberation Army. It is an armed organization with a small number of active servicemen as the backbone and demobilized veterans as the main component, organized according to a unified military establishment.
Secondly, make clear the time and content of adjustment: starting from 0: 00 on July 1 2020, China's reserve forces will be fully integrated into the military leadership and command system, from the current dual leadership of the military and the land to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission.
Finally, the adjustment of the reserve forces means:
1. The adjustment of the reserve leadership system is based on the principle of "the army is the army, the police are the police, and the people are the people". The purpose is to realize the party's goal of strengthening the army in the new era and build the people's army into a world-class army in an all-round way. The curtain of the reform of the reserve forces has been opened, and we look forward to the first-class people's army.
2. It is to end the local government's state of jurisdiction and leadership, and unify the reserve forces into the leadership of the Military Commission. Local governments will have no right to mobilize the reserve forces. Once the situation at home and abroad is tense and faced with foreign military aggression, it will be convenient for the reserve forces to become active forces at any time and become the regular combat force of our army.
It means that in the face of complicated situations at home and abroad, the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission will pay more attention to the construction of the people's army, improve the preparation level of the army for military struggle in the new period, crush other countries' aggression against China's sovereignty and territorial integrity at any time, safeguard national security and territorial integrity, and send a strong message to the outside world that China will continue to build a strong army.
Perhaps because of military uniforms, many readers think that the reserve forces are all "army reserves." In fact, since 2005, the reserve forces of the navy and air force have successively set up reserve reconnaissance ship brigades, minesweeper brigades, mobile radar observation battalions and ground-to-air missile battalions in various places.
After years of reserve construction, even the rocket army and the strategic support force have formed reserve forces. Many cities have a backbone consisting of anti-aircraft artillery regiment, armored battalion, mechanized battalion, chemical defense battalion, communication brigade and engineering brigade. Officers have reserve ranks, and reserve professional and technical officers have ranks, which have become a powerful supplementary force of the army. In wartime, as long as the military commission issues a mobilization order, they can be converted into regular troops at any time.
3. Because China has tens of millions of demobilized soldiers who have received strict and systematic military training in the army, it is a huge team that can be assembled quickly and is also a backbone member of the reserve.
On July 1 2020, the reserve was directly incorporated into the military system, and local governments no longer had jurisdiction and leadership over the reserve, which was conducive to the unified leadership of the Central Military Commission over the army and the reserve, and to maintaining China's position as the world's most populous country and the first deterrent force.
