Redouble efforts to promote education on historical mission of the army

english.chinamil.com.cn 2006-06-13

  Army is borne with its missions and soldiers exist on their missions. Education of missions makes up the basic education of the army, and for that matter, deserves constant attention and never let it go at that. The effective implementation of Chairman Hu Jintao's important instructions and the effort of doing a good job in the foundation work of the political and ideological construction of the army demand further deepening the education on the historical mission of the army and constantly building up the level of consciousness and firmness of the officers and men in being faithful and devoted to the mission and in bringing their missions to success.

  The historical mission of our army has basically set the orientation of development, the objectives of struggle and the guiding principles of the army building. Being the epitome that embodies the functional tasks of the army in a given period of time, it carries different connotations in various periods. In the new period of the new century, Chairman Hu Jintao earnestly put forward the historical mission of "Three provides and one play-a-role-in" (The army should provide an important power guarantee for the Party to entrench its governing position, provide staunch security insurance for safeguarding the strategic opportunity period of the national development, provide a powerful strategic support for maintaining the national interests, and play an important role in maintaining world peace and promoting common development.), which is of great importance in rendering energetic boost to the unfolding of the education on the historical mission of the army, in cohering the will and strength of the whole army and in promoting a faster and better development of the national defense and army building.

  The vigorous promotion of education on the historical mission of the army stands for guiding the officers and men to further deepen their comprehension of the scientific connotation of the historical mission of the army in the new period of the new century, guiding them to further enhance their sense of urgency and sense of responsibility, and guiding them to further uplift their competency and makings needed for implementing the mission. We should regard practice as the best platform to enhance the competency and makings, get weathered and steeled, harden the will, develop the moral integrity and improve the skills by way of plunging into military trainings, participating in major military exercises and undertaking emergent, difficult and dangerous tasks.
