According to recent news, in 2020, there will be two recruitment in my country. According to the current service period of soldiers, the service period of soldiers of all military branches of land, sea and air are 2 years. In fact, the two-year service period regulations originated in 1998 and have only been more than 20 years. Before this, the service period of our country's soldiers was 3 years. So, in 1998, why did the service time be changed from 3 years to 2 years? Today, let’s talk about the story of the adjustment of the service time of the conscript. Seriously, this regulation is very humane and at the same time strengthens the development and construction of reserve forces.
First of all, let’s talk about the construction of military service system in our country. During the war years, our country did not implement the compulsory military service system. At that time, officers and soldiers all voluntarily joined the army, which was called the voluntary military service system. Our army was formed in August 1927 and has gone through a series of stages such as the Red Army era and the Eighth Route Army era. It can be regarded as an armed force formed after repeated tempering. With the establishment of the New China, our country began to enter the work of economic development and post-war recovery. From this time on, our country's military also began to be formalized. Regular construction involves all aspects, such as the renewal of weapons and equipment, and a large number of Soviet weapons have emerged.
At the same time, the Chinese army successively replaced the 50-style military uniforms and 55-style military uniforms , and the style of the military uniforms was obviously regular. Subsequently, my country began to gradually improve its military service system. In July 1955, my country began to implement the compulsory military service system. According to the provisions of the new military service system, the service period of army soldiers is 3 years, and the technical requirements of Air Force and Navy are relatively high. Therefore, the service period is 4 years and 5 years. In other words, the service time of the three armies and the air force is different, with the shortest army and the longest navy. Seriously speaking, the service time of soldiers will be adjusted according to changes in tasks. In 1965, the service time of all branches of the army in our country was adjusted.
According to the regulations in 1965, the service time of Army soldiers was adjusted to 4 years, the Air Force was 5 years, and the Navy was 6 years. Judging from the situation at that time, the service period of officers and soldiers was significantly longer. Our country quickly developed the problem of excessive service period. By 1967, the service period of soldiers changed. The service period of Army soldiers was adjusted to 2 years, the Air Force was 3 years, and the Navy was adjusted to 4 years. This regulation has been used for more than 10 years, and in a blink of an eye it was 1978. At that time, our country passed the "Decision on Military Service". According to the regulations, the service time of our soldiers gradually returned to the regulations and standards of 1955.
is 3 years in the Army, 4 years in the Air Force, and 5 years in the Navy. The author's father served in the Navy at this stage, and served for a total of 5 years. After entering the 1980s, with the deepening of reform and opening up, our army had exchanged various aspects with foreign counterparts, such as the service time of soldiers, etc. Regarding the different service hours of each military service, our country has begun to make adjustments. In 1984, the service time of our soldiers was readjusted. Army soldiers served for 3 years without any change, while both the Navy and Air Force changed to 4 years. This standard has been used for more than 10 years, and the saying of three-year soldiers has accompanied the entire 1980s and 1990s.
By 1998, the service time of our soldiers in my country had another major adjustment. The service time of the soldiers of the three armed forces in the army, navy and air force was adjusted to two years. From then on, the saying of two-year soldiers began to appear. So, why did the service time of officers and soldiers be adjusted from 3/4 years to 2 years? Seriously, the reasons are very complicated. First, after joining the army, officers and soldiers will inevitably feel missing their relatives. However, the number of places to visit relatives every year is limited. A considerable number of officers and soldiers did not return home during their entire service period. Reducing service time also reduces the feelings of officers and soldiers to miss their family.
Second, with the continued development of the economy, society changes very quickly, if there is no contact with society for several years. A few years later, retired officers and soldiers are likely to be disconnected from society and directly affect the future lives of retired officers and soldiers. In addition, the conditions for recruitment are getting higher and higher, and some senior officials join the army. If the service lasts too long, it will directly affect the academic performance of retired officers and soldiers.Whether in terms of the life or study of retired officers and soldiers, the service time should not be too long. Third, with the development of the world situation, peace and development have become the main body. In such a general environment, adjusting the service period from 3 years to 2 years will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
In addition to the above reasons, there is another very important reason, that is, the development of reserve forces. According to regulations, officers and soldiers need to join the reserve team after retirement. After the service period is adjusted from 3 years to 2 years, the number of retired officers and soldiers who are included in the reserve service will gradually increase, which will be conducive to the expansion and improvement of the reserve service team. In short, the service time has changed from 3 years to 2 years, which combines the needs of the development of the times and the actual situation of the troops.
Of course, with the service period adjusted to 2 years, some new situations have emerged. For some of the Air Force and Navy's more technical troops, they can only learn in the first year and just get started in the second year, but it's time to retire. Some units with relatively strong professional and technical skills encourage officers and soldiers to serve again. That is, after the officers and soldiers retire, they will join the army for the second time, so they will have two years of service. Although I am a nominally recruit, I am already very familiar with all aspects of the situation. Especially the troops involved in the maintenance and maintenance of large-scale equipment have stronger technical requirements. Each unit encourages some retired officers and soldiers to serve again according to their actual needs. Among them, in the armies of some military powers in the world, the service time of each army is different.
For example, in the US military, the service time of the army infantry is 2 years, the service time of the navy submarine is 7 years, and the service time of the air force maintenance troop is 6 years. In addition to the US military, the armies of Britain, Germany and other countries also have similar situations. Therefore, the service time should be relatively flexible, and different service time should be specified according to the actual needs of different military branches and branches. In this regard, it is worthy of reference in our country. When the author was in high school, he always wanted to inherit his father's business and joined the navy to struggle. However, it was too difficult to get into the military school of the arts and . There are many articles about my country's military construction. The author will talk to you slowly in future articles.
