China People's Liberation Army is the great wall of steel for national defense security, an important decisive force for the international peaceful environment and a strong backing for the smooth construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a glorious mission and a great responsibility to provide high-quality soldiers and deliver outstanding talents for the army. At present, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the rapid development of socialist market economy, the increasingly diversified socio-economic components, employment channels, interest relations, distribution forms, value orientation and moral integrity, conscription work is facing unprecedented tests and challenges. Especially in recent years, social reform has been pushed forward in depth, and a series of social systems such as employment, social security and household registration have undergone major adjustments. Objectively speaking, the reform measures have greatly improved social productive forces and promoted social development, but at the same time, they have also brought many new situations, new features and new problems to the conscription work, complicating the relatively simple work. To this end, we should base ourselves on reality, make comprehensive use of local advantages and strengths, innovate ideas, innovative mechanisms, innovative methods and platforms, respond rationally, push forward steadily and push this work to a new level.

First, focus on renewing ideas: change static into dynamic, and change leisure into hard work.

With the vigorous promotion of strengthening the city by education, the quality and benefit of education are improving day by day, and the satisfaction rate of the people is constantly improving. However, it is undeniable that the two extreme pursuits of high education and economic benefits are becoming more and more obvious, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Students with poor grades step into the society to make a living, and students with good grades work hard for the college entrance examination, which makes the quality problems of conscription and soldiers more prominent. Every time we discuss the conscription work, we deeply feel that the number of applicants for school-age citizens is decreasing year by year, the qualified rate of political examination and physical examination is decreasing year by year, and the enthusiasm of enlisted personnel is weakening year by year. How to break through? Where is the road? Through in-depth and meticulous investigation and exploration, we believe that the emergence of this kind of phenomenon is related to the lack of innovation in our concepts and means, the lack of publicity and guidance, and the backwardness of preferential treatment.

The key to solve these problems lies in:

First, we should give full play to local characteristics and increase the propaganda of conscription.

Public opinion mobilization and publicity are what we are good at, and the organization and development of activities are also our strengths. In this regard, we can persist in formulating a series of scientific and rigorous publicity measures, carry out conscription publicity and education in a planned, focused and step-by-step manner, and constantly update the methods and means of national defense education and conscription publicity by means of propaganda slogans, conscription advertisements, television, internet and multimedia, so as to enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of publicity and education. Guide the broad masses of cadres, the masses and young school-age students to correctly understand the relationship between national defense construction and economic construction, the relationship between immediate interests and long-term interests, and the relationship between personal interests and national interests, and take a multi-pronged approach to create a social fashion of "one person joins the army and the whole family is glorious" and form a good atmosphere of caring for and supporting national defense construction and attaching importance to conscription. Complete the action change from "waiting for registration" to "active entry".

Second, we must strengthen the inspection of military service law enforcement.

Military service law enforcement inspection is an effective means to ensure the implementation of military service collection. It is necessary to check both during the preparation for conscription and during the conscription work. Organize well-trained law enforcement personnel to track and supervise the performance of military service obligations by units, schools and families. Departments and units set obstacles that schools and families do not support, and make necessary educational criticism and punishment as appropriate.

Third, we must refine the implementation of the special care guarantee.

In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of young students, we should adhere to the combination of propaganda of military service obligations and propaganda of vital interests. While helping young students to calculate the "political account", "economic account" and "progress account" for enlistment, we actively appeal to and effectively promote the government to introduce relevant preferential policies, increase the security of special care and resettlement, and fully stimulate the enthusiasm of young students for enlistment.

Second, pay attention to effective methods: change "vicious circle" into "benign interaction"

Promoting conscription under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development is an inevitable choice to improve the quality of military service. The modernization of the army urgently needs modern talents, and the quality of conscription will directly affect the preparation process of military struggle. In recent years, conscription is regarded as a phased task, and it is satisfied with "temporary action", or the object and scope of conscription are limited to "ordinary quality", and only "completing the number of conscription" is sought, not "improving work standards". Therefore, military service is facing the superficial situation of "vicious circle".

We believe that we must work hard in three aspects:

First, work hard on "mechanism construction".

Conscription is a long-term and strategic work, and a lot of basic work such as propaganda of military service laws and regulations, inspection of military service law enforcement, military service registration, and management of conscripts' pre-conscription cannot be "temporarily operated". In order to ensure the long-term operation of military service institutions, the relative stability of personnel, the effective implementation of military service and the continuous summarization and improvement of experience, it is necessary to establish and improve the operational mechanism of conscription according to law, take honest conscription as the starting point, further increase the training of staff and improve the law enforcement level of law enforcement personnel. Adhere to the law exploration, improve the experience summary, and strive to standardize the administrative law enforcement procedures and methods in conscription work to ensure the standardization and orderly law enforcement. Strengthen law enforcement inspection, investigate and deal with individuals who evade military service registration, undergo physical examination and refuse to perform military service, as well as departments, units, schools and families who refuse to complete military service tasks and obstruct citizens from fulfilling their military service obligations, thus forming a good social environment for conscription according to law.

Second, work hard on "quality tapping potential".

Modern warfare marked by high technology and information technology requires higher and higher quality of officers and men, especially their cultural quality and physical quality. To meet the needs of the army, we should take cultural quality as a hard indicator and highlight new goals in our work, that is, taking fresh high school graduates, unemployed college graduates, undergraduates and young students with high academic qualifications, and people with professional expertise working in knowledge-based positions as the main body, taking effective measures to open up a "green channel" and collecting as many as possible. At the same time, make full use of local talent resources and recruit general professional and technical youth as much as possible. It is planned to focus on recruiting agencies, enterprises, scientific research institutions and other units, and increase the psychological test of young students to prevent young people with mental illness from being recruited into the army. Really realize the transformation of the collection method from "waiting" to "watching", from "temporary collection" to "pre-training" and from "ordinary type" to "high quality type".

Third, work hard on "overall design".

Conscription is a complex systematic project, and it is not enough to rely solely on the efforts of military service organs. The military service organs and the resettlement office for retired soldiers, as the main responsible departments for conscription and resettlement, should "bind" the conscription and resettlement work. The resettlement of retired soldiers should be regarded as the key to improve the quality of conscription and solve the difficulty of conscription. On the premise of encouraging retired soldiers to choose their own jobs, as many state-owned enterprises, institutions and key positions as possible will be arranged as places for retired soldiers to choose and resettle. At the same time, the political and military qualities and various performances of retired soldiers are important conditions for retired resettlement and army training, so that young people can have "ideas", "hopes" and "dry heads"

Third, pay attention to platform construction: change "exclusive operation" into "social cooperation"

It is necessary to strengthen the government's behavior in conscription work, give full play to the main role of the government and the functional role of the military service organs, and change the conscription work from "exclusive operation" of the military service organs to "social cooperation" to form a good situation of "grasping the total strength".

The first is to strengthen organizational leadership.

It is necessary to strengthen the leadership over the conscription work, implement the "number one" responsibility system and the responsibility system for the heads of various departments and units, and take this as an important part of the leadership's debriefing, job evaluation, promotion and selection of advanced, and put it on the agenda and in a prominent position. Party committees and governments at all levels perform their duties according to law, popularize the knowledge of national defense education law in peacetime, and enhance people's national defense awareness. All relevant departments actively cooperate to standardize the contents and methods of education. Especially for citizens, young students, militia reservists and leading cadres, it is necessary to implement them at different levels according to the characteristics of different educational objects, clarify the key points of education at all levels, carry out targeted education, guide people to consciously make great efforts for national defense, and make national defense education practical and effective.

The second is to strengthen the work of full-time institutions.

The construction of conscription institutions and teams is an important guarantee to promote conscription work. The contradiction between fewer military service personnel and heavy tasks is prominent. Therefore, we should vigorously do a good job in the construction of conscription institutions. Organize propaganda, health, public security, labor, civil affairs, discipline inspection and other departments and personnel involved in conscription work to conduct regular work and business training, improve the daily work system, clarify responsibilities, strengthen sense of responsibility, mission and discipline, and constantly improve ideological quality and business skills.

The third is to strengthen grassroots work.

Practice has proved that schools, streets, communities and neighborhood committees, as grass-roots units, are important leading forces and mobilizing forces in conscription work. Schools, street party working committees and offices should regard conscription as an important work, incorporate it into key work content, integrate resources, give full play to the role of party committees, and the division of labor leaders should personally implement it. Neighborhood committees should take conscription as an important task, pay close attention to implementation, give full play to the advantages of clear base and clear situation, take various forms, do a good job in propaganda and mobilization, and strictly control the quality of conscription.
