让流动红旗真正“流动”起来 ■解放军报特约记者石伟 “本周获得‘军事训练’和‘作风纪律’两面流动红旗的是一排！” 前不久，第74集团军某旅某连一次行政例会上，吴连长在全连官兵的注视下，将两面鲜红的旗帜郑重交到一排代表手中。战士们看向红旗的眼光，满是向往与渴望。今年初，为培塑官兵的集体荣誉感、激发训练积极性，党支部决定设置“军事训练”“作风纪律”“内务卫生”3面流动红旗，每周根据训练成绩和日常表现综合评定、统一颁发。这项机制刚施行时，各排在训练场上处处较劲，宿舍里时时比拼，比学赶帮超的劲头十足。然而，这一做法后来有些慢慢变了味。一次，连队照例准备公示本周获得流动红旗的单位。吴连长路过公示栏时，无意中听到几名战士在小声嘀咕：“不用担心，全连就3个排，3面流动红旗，每个排最后肯定都能分到一面”“这周没轮到‘军事训练’，后面两周也会补过来的”…… 这番讨论让吴连长心头一沉。想到最近各排训练成绩有些下滑，机关检查又指出多个问题，他想，问题会不会就出在这些本该“流动”起来的红旗上？翻看前期一些记录，他发现，3面红旗总会“默契”地落在不同的排，每个排每周都能拿到一面。吴连长立即找连队值班员和一些党员骨干了解情况。原来，头几周评下来，官兵们发现，一周没有拿到流动红旗的单位，会在行政例会上被重点讲评。于是，各排骨干私下渐渐形成了一种心照不宣的“默契”——为了不当“最后一名”，值班员汇报工作时会有意无意地找平衡：训练成绩一般的，在内务检查中就少记几个问题；内务卫生较差的，在队列作风上就多表扬几句……流动红旗就这样“均匀”分发给各排。设立流动红旗，本是为了激励官兵创先争优，结果却成了干好干坏一个样。“反正都能拿到一面红旗”的想法，消磨了一些官兵的积极性与进取心。找准问题根源后，连长和指导员利用教育时间，围绕“为什么要评流动红旗？流动红旗该怎么评？”等话题，组织全连官兵展开讨论辨析。会上，吴连长首先自我反思：作为连队主官，对日常工作情况掌握不细，工作安排下去后跟进督导不够，导致检查评比流于形式。指导员也紧接着点出，党员骨干更要带头做到实事求是、求真务实，不能使评比成为走过场、搞变通、找平衡的场合。 “自己确实有老好人思想”“完成任务时存在形式主义的问题”……骨干们一个接一个跟着反思，认真查摆自身问题。吴连长告诉记者，一次评比时，鉴于连队训练成绩整体下滑、各排也暴露出不少的问题，他代表党支部当场宣布：“本周3面流动红旗，一面都不颁发。” 消息传开，官兵们没有气馁。“咱们认真整改，争取下周把3面流动红旗都留到我们排！”宿舍里，各班排骨干给大家定下目标。接下来的日子，训练场上干劲更足了，内务标准更高了，连队人人心里都憋着一股劲。又是一次行政例会，全连官兵早早整齐列队。这才出现了文章开头的一幕。回到宿舍后，排长们聚在一起，彼此约定继续比学赶帮超，在下次评比中再一较高下。看着这样的场面，吴连长回头对指导员说：“现在，流动红旗真正‘流动’起来了。”

Summary

Machine summary

A company under an unspecified brigade of the PLA 74th Group Army identified and corrected a pattern in which platoon cadres colluded to distribute weekly performance awards evenly across units, neutralizing the competitive incentive the system was designed to create. The episode is useful as ground-level evidence of how formalism and face-saving norms persist at the small-unit level in the PLA, and illustrates the recurring tension between institutional pressure to avoid public failure and the Party's campaign to enforce genuine rather than performative compliance with training standards.
