火箭军某旅组织官兵重温入党誓词。刘明松 摄(新华社发) 6月下旬,山东青岛,辽宁舰航母编队缓缓停靠母港,甲板上官兵庄严列阵。这支编队赴西太平洋开展演训活动,历时40余天,一路走、一路练,遂行使命任务的能力得到进一步提升。 放眼新时代,从大洋深处到万里长空,人民军队正以更强大的能力、更可靠的手段,向着打赢目标砥砺前行。 在庆祝中国共产党成立105周年大会上,习近平主席强调:“强国必须强军,军强才能国安。新征程上,必须全面贯彻新时代党的强军思想,贯彻新时代军事战略方针,坚持党对人民军队的绝对领导,坚定不移走中国特色强军之路,全面推进政治建军、改革强军、科技强军、人才强军、依法治军,高质量推进国防和军队现代化,如期实现建军一百年奋斗目标,加快把人民军队建成世界一流军队,坚决捍卫国家主权、安全、发展利益,为维护世界和平与发展作出更大贡献。” 党的十八大以来,党中央、中央军委和习主席就加快国防和军队现代化作出一系列战略谋划和部署,引领全军开创了强军事业新局面。 强军首先要在政治上强,政治上强是最根本的强。 2014年,闽西古田,习主席亲自决策在这里召开全军政治工作会议,对新时代政治建军作出部署;2024年,陕北延安,中央军委政治工作会议上,习主席科学概括新时代政治建军方略“十个明确”内涵要求,强调“发扬彻底的自我革命精神,持续深化政治整训”。 从古田到延安,习主席带领人民军队寻根溯源、重整行装,引领军队整齐队伍向前进、淬火成钢向一流。这些年,人民军队坚定不移推进政治建军、深化政治整训,有效解决了弱化党对军队绝对领导的突出问题,在革命性锻造中守住了根和魂。 阔步新征程,全军官兵坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂,深入贯彻习近平强军思想,贯彻军委主席负责制,在党的旗帜下奋斗强军,筑牢听党话、跟党走的思想根基。 “雪域高原戍边模范连”“航天报国模范地面站”“反恐尖刀中队”……在习近平强军思想引领下,“四铁”过硬部队加速锻造,“四有”新时代革命军人茁壮成长,为新时代强军事业注入不竭动力。 根脉深厚,更要筋骨强健。 2015年11月,中央军委改革工作会议召开,发出深化国防和军队改革的行动号令——全面实施改革强军战略,坚定不移走中国特色强军之路。 改总部、塑军种、立战区,构建起军委—战区—部队的作战指挥体系和军委—军种—部队的领导管理体系,形成军委管总、战区主战、军种主建的新格局;改革规模结构和力量编成,重塑部队编成和新质作战力量;深入推进军事政策制度改革,审议通过新修订的国防法、军人地位和权益保障法等一系列法律…… 人民军队实现整体性革命性重塑,领导指挥体制历史性变革,规模结构更加精干合理,政策制度日益配套完善。 筋骨重塑,还要羽翼更坚。 大国重器,必须牢牢握在自己手中。2021年,长征18号艇、大连舰、海南舰入列;2022年,福建舰下水,运油—20投入练兵备战;2025年,尖端武器装备集中亮相阅兵场。一系列高精尖技术相继攻克,一批先进武器装备陆续列装。 新时代,军委机关加强军事斗争准备重大现实问题研究,着力提高谋划打仗、指挥打仗、带兵打仗能力;各战区、各军兵种大力推进战训耦合、体系练兵、科技练兵,练就能战善战的精兵劲旅;军队院校和科研机构聚焦实战搞教学、育人才、抓创新。 敢于斗争、敢于胜利。练兵一线,呈现出龙腾虎跃的训练图景。陆军某旅“强军精武红四连”,新装备列装不到百天即实现战斗射击成绩全员达标,圆满完成多项重大演训任务;空军某旅“强军先锋飞行大队”突出实战实训,多人夺得空军对抗比武“金头盔”。 今年4月8日,全军高级干部培训班在国防大学开班。习主席在开班式上强调:“要以新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,深入贯彻新时代强军思想,开展思想整风,深化政治整训,加强我军干部队伍革命性锻造,始终保持人民军队纯洁光荣,以崭新政治面貌迎接建军一百周年。” 始终做党和人民完全可以信赖的英雄部队,全军官兵信念坚定,誓言铿锵:有信心、有能力维护国家主权、统一和领土完整,有信心、有能力为实现中华民族伟大复兴提供战略支撑,有信心、有能力为世界和平与发展作出更大贡献!

Summary

Machine summary

The Liaoning carrier battle group returned to Qingdao in late June after a 40-plus-day Western Pacific exercise deployment, and the article uses that operational note as a frame for a comprehensive retrospective on PLA modernization since the 18th Party Congress, covering the 2015 CMC restructuring, commissioning of Long March-18, the destroyer Dalian, and the amphibious assault ship Hainan in 2021, the Fujian carrier launch in 2022, and Xi's April 2025 address at the National Defense University senior officer training course. The article documents the current institutional framing of the 'centenary goal' of army building—due in 2027—as the organizing deadline for political rectification, force structure reform, and combat readiness, with the April NDU course and the 2024 Yan'an CMC Political Work Conference's 'ten clarifications' confirming that ideological consolidation of the officer corps is running in parallel with hardware modernization. The explicit pairing of 思想整风 (ideological rectification) with 政治整训 (political rectification and training) in Xi's direct quotes raises the question of whether the leadership views officer-corps reliability as an unresolved problem requiring active correction rather than a baseline condition.
