Realistic Military Training

Military training is key to enhancing combat capabilities and combat readiness. As Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized, rigorous training is indispensable, and it is essential to improve realistic training, aligned with actual war scenarios, to ensure the relevance of training, and identify and focus on what we need most in hostile situations. 

The CMC issued the Guidelines for Improving Military Training Under Real Combat Conditions in March 2014 and the Provisionary Rules on Strengthening Realistic Military Training in November 2016, outlining guiding principles, underlying considerations, major tasks and requirements for improving current and future training for real war scenarios.  

Training for real combat is how military training should be done to ensure its effectiveness. It means that training should be conducted under conditions similar to real combat situations to meet real combat needs, so that training routines can be executed in actual operations to adapt the former to fit the latter. Specifically, the focus will be on the use of realistic combat scenarios in training, including joint operations scenarios. Units of the military will carry out rigorous, hyper-realistic training in accordance with tailored training outlines that corresponds to their duties and mimics actual combat environments to test and verify the effectiveness of training. It is also important to encourage innovation in combat solutions.  

實戰化軍事訓練

軍事訓練是提高實戰能力的重要途徑和抓手，是最直接的軍事斗爭準備。習近平多次強調，堅持從難從嚴訓練部隊，切實提高軍事訓練實戰化水平；貫徹戰訓一致原則，堅持仗怎么打兵就怎么練，打仗需要什么就苦練什么，部隊最缺什么就專攻精練什么。2014年3月中央軍委印發《關于提高軍事訓練實戰化水平的意見》，2016年11月中央軍委印發《加強實戰化軍事訓練暫行規定》，明確了當前和今后一個時期提高軍事訓練實戰化水平的指導思想、總體思路、主要任務和措施要求。

實戰化軍事訓練，是遵循制勝機理和練兵規律，在近似實戰的環境和條件下進行訓練。本質內涵是按實戰要求訓練，按訓練去實戰，使訓練與實戰達到一體化。在訓練實踐中，堅持聚焦實戰、對接實戰，堅持實戰實訓、聯戰聯訓，把從難從嚴按綱施訓作為提升實戰化軍事訓練水平的重要抓手，緊貼作戰任務、作戰對手、作戰環境，加強對抗性檢驗性訓練，加強針對性適應性訓練，大力開展戰法創新，提高備戰打仗能力。
