初夏时节,放眼全军演训场,很多部队着眼打赢未来战争能力要求,坚持挑战极限训、盯着极致练,不断拓展练兵边界,挖掘装备潜能。这启示我们,各级只有扎实开展极限训练,在挑战极限中砥砺胜战之能,跨越临界点、突破极限值,冲着极限练、练出绝招来,才能在对敌较量中敢于亮剑、占据主动、赢得胜利。 刀靠磨,钢靠锻,能打胜仗要靠练。习主席强调,要“大抓复杂环境下训练,大抓极限条件下训练”。训练大纲强调要把技能练到极致、武器用到极致,增加了武器装备极限性能、边界条件、干扰条件、复杂环境下操作和实战运用训练。战场上的较量,是官兵生理极限、装备性能极限、人与装备结合战斗力极限的综合较量,谁能有效发挥最大潜能、释放最佳效能,谁就能使打赢的天平向自己倾斜。 “战争是不确定性的王国。”现代战争的突发性、残酷性、破坏性空前增大,高新技术装备的精确性、隐蔽性和智能化程度空前提升,对抗要素更加多元,对抗情况更加复杂,对抗程度更加激烈,这对官兵极限状态下完成任务的能力要求更高。如果平时不练就“多敌一环、远敌一米、快敌一秒、胜敌一招”的本领,战时就难以从容应对、稳操胜券。打赢未来战争,就要向人的极限要战斗力、向装备潜能要胜算,在平时训练中不断盯着极限竞速度、拼准度、争精度。 练兵不封顶,强能无止境。极限训练,意味着要冒更大的险、流更多的汗、承受更重的压力,但这也是淬炼打赢能力的必经之路。在“舒适区”里安于现状,练不成一招制敌、一剑封喉的绝技;不愿挑战自我、突破极限,练不出敢打必胜、制胜战场的“刀尖子”。各级指挥员只有紧盯强敌对手,突出高难度、高强度、满负荷,突出未知条件、临机条件、极限条件、边界条件,在近似实战的环境中,把官兵潜能激发到极致、把装备性能释放到极致、把体系效能发挥到极致,方能积蓄胜战打赢的底气,掌握决胜未来战场的主动权。 现代战争是血与火的对抗,更是科技的较量。训练质量效益要有大的提升、战斗力达到质的飞跃,光有勇气、胆量和时间投入是不够的,还要注重科技练兵、科技强训,不断打破“瓶颈”、攻克“难关”、突破“禁区”。各级指挥员在组训施训中,应注重科学、讲求效益,突出精细化、规范化、专业化训练,探索“科技+”“网络+”训练方法,让科技真正为极限训练赋能,加快先进科技向战斗力转化。 练兵之要,贵在得法。极限训练是不断探索、超越自我的过程,并不是不讲实际、盲目加码,一味挑战“高难险”,而是刻苦训练、科学训练、安全训练的有机统一。这就要求各级在开展极限训练时,既勤学苦练,又讲究科学,遵循由易到难、由简到繁的规律,在科学组训、灵活调控、精准施训上下功夫,引导官兵在循序渐进、挑战自我中把“手中活”练得更精、把“必杀技”练得更强,把部队锻造成召之即来、来之能战、战之必胜的精兵劲旅。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA commentary published in the Strong Military Forum (强军论坛) column calls on commanders at every level to institutionalize 极限训练 (limit training)—pushing personnel and equipment to physiological and performance boundaries under complex, contested conditions—and frames this as the doctrinal path to producing 刀尖子 ('blade-tip fighters') capable of winning future high-intensity wars. The piece cites Xi Jinping's directive to train under complex and extreme conditions and references updated training outlines that formally added boundary conditions, interference conditions, and extreme equipment performance as required training parameters. This is standard political-military commentary; its value is as a record of how the PLA frames the gap between peacetime comfort and wartime readiness for mid-level commanders, not as evidence of a new training policy or changed force posture.
