火箭军某旅打破建制壁垒充分发挥人才作用 “首席军士”勇挑攻坚大梁 解放军报讯 周晓星、特约记者方雷报道:“前方出现泥夹石!”近日,火箭军某旅任务分队在掘进施工中遇到罕见地质,险情随时可能发生。面对这一情况,该旅某营支护专业“首席军士”、一级上士王班长迅速从相邻工区赶到现场,带领作业班组分析研究,灵活改进施工方案,确保任务顺利推进。 “军士长期扎根任务一线,实践经验丰富,是我们的中坚力量。充分发挥他们的作用,对部队建设和战斗力提升具有重要意义。”该旅领导介绍,他们长期担负国防施工任务。过去很长一段时间,由于施工点位分散等原因,专家型军士骨干大多在各自营连范围内发挥作用,人才配置不均、经验共享不畅等问题比较突出。为此,他们聚焦任务需求,从各营连遴选综合能力素质过硬的军士,作为不同专业领域的“首席军士”,打破建制壁垒在全旅范围内统一调配使用,让每一名军士骨干的专业技术优势得到充分发挥。 实践中,该旅依托党委议工会等时机,常态开展“我为施工献一技”“金点子征集会”等活动,邀请“首席军士”参与施工方案拟制等重要工作;定期梳理施工中遇到的重难点问题,组织“首席军士”揭榜挂帅、集智攻关,并完善相关配套措施。他们还将各专业“首席军士”纳入旅队专业技术人才库,通过远程会诊、线上解难等方式,实现全旅人才资源共建共享;深化区域协作机制,组织“首席军士”跨区域执行抢险攻坚、教学指导、巡检巡修等任务,最大限度发挥军士人才的辐射带动作用。 不久前,该旅某营受领一项改扩建任务,官兵采用传统钻爆方式施工,钻具出现较大损耗。对此,掘进专业“首席军士”、二级军士长李班长带领团队深入任务一线分析原因,摸索总结出一套新型爆破法,有效提升了施工质效,降低了施工成本。 据了解,随着“首席军士”制度落地施行,该旅军士人才队伍的作用更加凸显,部队遂行任务能力显著提升。今年以来,面对分散施工、恶劣地质等多重考验,该旅官兵成功破解多个施工难题,顺利完成各项任务。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA Rocket Force brigade conducting tunneling and underground construction operations has implemented a 'Chief Sergeant' system that breaks battalion-level organizational boundaries, designating senior NCOs like Staff Sergeant First Class Wang and Senior Master Sergeant Li as brigade-wide technical leads deployable across dispersed construction sites. The article documents a concrete institutional problem — fragmented NCO expertise across geographically separated worksites degrading construction efficiency and problem-solving capacity — and records the brigade's structural fix: pooling senior sergeants into a brigade-level talent registry with authority to cross unit lines for technical leadership. This fits a broader PLA pattern of trying to extract more operational value from the senior NCO corps by expanding their formal authority, but the specific mechanism here — embedding NCOs into Party committee deliberation meetings and using open-call task assignment to route problems to them — extends that pattern into construction-unit governance in a way that is worth tracking as a model the Rocket Force may propagate.
