In film and television works with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, you can see that the commanders of the army have close guards, who not only provide personal protection, but also are responsible for running errands and taking care of the life of the commander. They are also important personnel for the commander to convey orders to others. These officers who can have guards all have higher ranks, and not all officers can be equipped with guards.
This also caused some friends to question, that is, what level should they reach to be qualified to configure guards, and what are the minimum rank or position standards? The average one is really not worthy. According to people familiar with the matter, there was a reform in the system of guards in 2017, so 2017 was used as the time dividing line, and there were relatively big differences in the standards before and after.
From the Anti-Japanese War to 2017, as long as officers who have reached the level of regiment commander or above can be equipped with guards, which can also be seen in film and television dramas. For example, in the classic anti-Japanese war drama "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong , there are always guards around him, and his level is exactly the regiment commander. In order to better ensure the safety of the commander, a special guard company will be formed in a unit, and they all have to receive professional training. First of all, you must be flexible and absolutely loyal. Secondly, you are good at skill and dedication, and you must rush forward as soon as possible in critical moments.
After the reform in 2017, the requirements for equipping with guards have been much higher. Originally, it would be enough for officers who had reached the level of regiment commander or above, but then they would need to be qualified for the deputy army level or above, and the corresponding military rank was the colonel. After all, it is a peaceful era, and our country's military is huge, with about 2 million servicemen, so there are quite a few regiment-level cadres. In addition, in a peaceful environment, there is no need to install a special bodyguard to protect the safety.
But this does not mean that these officers are not protected by others at all. The guard companies in the army still exist. Their responsibilities do not belong to specifically protecting a certain officer, but also protecting the entire army and the entire command post, so the safety of these officers will also be guaranteed. This is also changing in accordance with the development requirements of the times.
According to historical records, during the counterattack against Vietnam, the scouts troops also held an important responsibility to protect our army command. This situation also means that the situation in the guard company's protection command is not static, and certain adjustments and changes will be made at critical moments. In addition, the guards are not just the commanders of the defending army. Among some national treasure experts, scientific researchers, and important figures, the country will also provide them with guards, such as our ", two bombs, one satellite, " , Qian Xuesen , and there are special guards around us.
