At the beginning of 2022, the "Regulations on Commendation of Military Meritorious Service and Honors" was issued, simultaneously enabling the new era of military medals, medals, and commemorative medals. There are a total of 57 commemorative medals of various orders and medals.
With the conclusion of the merit evaluation and awards at the end of 2022, many officers and soldiers received the long-awaited new medal . But relative to the total number of officers and soldiers, the proportion of officers and soldiers who can win medals is naturally not high.
Although there are many new medals, medals and commemorative medals, which is dazzling, for many officers and soldiers, it may not be easy to obtain one during their military career.
1. There are very few people who can win medals.
Medals highlight the highest honors, including " August 1st Medal", "Red Flag Medal", " Red Star Medal" and "Peace Medal".
The August 1st Medal is the highest honor in the military. It is usually selected once every five years. In 2017, 10 people were selected for the first time. will only select three people in 2022, namely Du Fugu, Qian Qihu, and Nie Haisheng.
The Order of the Red Banner and the Order of the Red Star are both wartime medals, not to mention that they are impossible to obtain in peacetime. Even during war, it is extremely difficult to obtain.
The Peace Medal is awarded to foreign military personnel.
2. Although there are many medals, the most likely to be obtained is the third-class merit medal, which is not easy.
Medals include honorary title medals, award medals, commendation medals, and peace medals.
(1) Honorary title medals, distinguished between wartime honorary title medals, peacetime honorary title medals, and major non-war military action honorary title medals.
Wartime honorary title medals, including special combat hero , first-level combat hero and second-level combat hero medals. To obtain them, you must first be able to participate in the war, and then you must be particularly brave and outstanding.
A medal for an honorary title in peacetime. In order to obtain an honorary title in peacetime, you must have performed particularly outstanding deeds. It is simply something that you dare not even think about.
Honorary title medal for major military operations other than war. First of all, being able to participate in major military operations other than war is a rare thing.
(2) The most numerous medals are award medals. Including wartime award medals, peacetime award medals and non-war military action award medals.
Wartime award medals, including first, second, third and fourth level military merit award medals. In war years, there will be many military exploits. But soldiers in peacetime have no chance of this.
Peacetime award medals and major non-war military action medals include first, second and third class merit. Obviously, first-class merit and second-class merit are very difficult. The second-class merit is almost one thousandth, and the first-class merit may be one hundred thousandth.
is most likely to obtain the third-class merit medal and the reward medal, but third-class merit is not so easy to obtain.
For some outstanding soldiers, they may have won many third-class merit awards. But for some ordinary soldiers, they may have been in the military for more than ten years and still failed to obtain a single third-class meritorious service.
There were cadres who could choose their own jobs before, but they really didn’t even have a third-class meritorious service. Third-class merit can increase the coefficient of self-selected job bonus by 5%, which is very practical, but they didn’t have any. It’s not that I don’t want to have it, it’s that I really don’t have the chance to get it.
(3) Commendation medals are not easy to obtain either.
Commendation medals include first-level commendation, second-level commendation and third-level commendation.
The first-level commendation is the commendation implemented at the Military Commission level and the national level; the second-level commendation is the commendation implemented at the theater level or equivalent to the war zone level; the third-level commendation is the commendation implemented at the theater level and above the military level or at the local, provincial and ministerial level. It is not easy for
to obtain a third-level commendation.
In addition to the above-mentioned medals, there is also the Peace Medal, which is awarded to foreign military personnel and has nothing to do with you.
3. Commemorative medals are relatively easy, and not everyone can obtain them.
Commemorative medals include National Defense Service Medal , National Defense Service Medal, Border Guard Medal , Dedication to National Defense Medal, and Peace Medal.
(1) National defense service medals, including special-grade, first-class, second-class, third-class and fourth-class medals. Awarded to military personnel who have served for more than 8 years. For soldiers, you have to serve as a sergeant for at least eight years before you can get a fourth-level medal.
(2) National Defense Service Medal, awarded to civilian personnel. It has nothing to do with active military personnel.
(3) The commemorative medal for defending the country and guarding the border is awarded to those working in remote and difficult areas, including three levels of first, second and third levels. Comrades in difficult areas are easy to obtain, and many people can even obtain three.
But after all, the proportion of comrades in difficult areas is not large. Most of the comrades in non-difficult areas cannot obtain the Medal of Patriotism and Border Guarding.
(4) Commemorative medals for dedication to national defense, issued to martyrs, persons who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty or are recognized as disabled in the line of duty.
(5) Peace Medal, awarded to foreign military personnel.
4. Many leading cadres and veterans will no longer be able to obtain medals.
For many leading cadres, it is not easy to obtain a new medal due to the strict control over the annual merit evaluation. Especially the higher the leadership position, the more difficult it is.
For many veterans, they may have received many awards before, but because they no longer have the upper hand in terms of age, physical strength, energy, etc., it is not easy to win new medals.
5. Under the new honor mechanism, competition for honors will be more motivating.
Under the new honor incentive mechanism, not only will the new honorary list be unveiled, but also the recognition and rewards will be directly linked to personal growth, progress and treatment. Everyone's desire for honors and competition will become more intense.
It may be difficult for the previous units to reappear the phenomenon of ranking based on seniority or taking turns to judge merit and awards. From now on, the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak.
As can be seen from the above, although there are many medals, medals and commemorative medals, as many as 57, for people with less than eight years of military service, it may not be easy for many people to obtain even one.
For most people, the easiest thing to obtain is a fourth-class national defense service medal, followed by a third-class peacetime medal.
It is precisely because things are rare that they are valuable, and precisely because various medals, medals and commemorative medals are not easy to obtain, they are even more precious and can inspire soldiers to fight for honor!
