The training inspection station of a brigade of the 73rd Group Army helps improve the quality and efficiency of grassroots training——
Comprehensive supervision and problem solving throughout the entire process
■ Zhang Linghui, special correspondent of the People's Liberation Army Daily, Liao Xiaobin, Yu Rundong
"The participation rate of the night training of the Fourth Battalion is relatively low. It is recommended that the Force Management Section strengthen coordination and supervision and reduce the number of official duties..." It was already late at night, and several cadres from a brigade of the 73rd Group Army were still busy. On the wall of the office, there were two forms hung: "Summary of Training Supervision" and "List of Battalion and Company Training Issues".
They are the inspectors of the brigade's training inspection station. After each training day, these people will get together to sort out and summarize the training situation and problems of the troops that day and submit a report to the brigade party committee.
Speaking of the training inspection station, the reporter learned about such an experience.
With the revision and improvement of the military training syllabus, the brigade has added a number of training courses, and the training requirements for some difficult courses have become higher. To this end, they have selected staff from the Operations and Training Department to set up a training inspection station. In addition to providing on-site guidance at the grassroots level, they also need to compile and report any problems they find every day.
However, new problems soon emerged: when Wu, the head of the training inspection station, conducted his first inspection, he encountered many setbacks at the grassroots level. It turned out that during that period, the training content of each company was mainly about equipment operation and use, which Wu was not good at, so he had to focus on whether the training participation rate met the standards and whether the training style was solid. Faced with the needs raised by the grassroots, it was difficult for him to provide professional guidance.
"The brigade party committee has long made it clear that the establishment of a training inspection station is to help grassroots units solve problems in training. It has the functions of organization, supervision, and coordination, and it cannot just be about finding fault." Company Commander Chen of the Repair Company was quite dissatisfied with the inspectors' practice of focusing more on supervision and less on solving problems.
The grassroots have complaints, and Staff Officer Wu also has his own difficulties: "Training staff are very good at training, but they may not be proficient in other areas. Training supervision cannot be carried out by the training department alone."
"Let professionals do professional things." The brigade leaders realized the problem and adjusted the organization and operation of the training inspection station. They made it clear that in addition to the training department, other departments of the organization must select a person to serve as an inspector based on the battalion and company's training plan for the day, so as to improve the quality and effectiveness of grassroots training by forming a joint force of the organization.
Since then, the personnel composition of the training inspection station has become more flexible: when the battalion and company conduct driving training, the brigade support department will select assistants from the transportation and delivery section; when various units conduct drone training, the brigade staff will designate staff from the reconnaissance section to go... Staff Officer Wu said that this move not only improved the scientific nature of training supervision, but also allowed relevant departments to have a more intuitive and comprehensive grasp of the grassroots training situation, providing decision-making references for advancing work.
Following the footsteps of inspector and propaganda officer Jiang, the reporter came to a comprehensive training ground of the brigade and happened to see Instructor He of the Second Battalion using the newly distributed political work equipment to organize psychological backbone training. After careful observation and analysis, Instructor Jiang pointed out problems such as "weak theoretical foundation and insufficient awareness of the enemy situation", recorded them, and guided the officers and soldiers to make on-site rectifications. Instructor He also registered the contradictions and difficulties encountered during the training process one by one in the "Battalion and Company Training Problem List" and discussed solutions with Instructor Jiang.
"As a training inspector, we must not only shoulder the responsibility of supervision, but also help solve problems at the grassroots level." After the inspection, Officer Jiang talked about an incident that happened not long ago.
At that time, a training inspector found that many officers and soldiers in a certain company had low training levels in the 400-meter obstacle course, and there were also many injured and sick soldiers. After further investigation, it was found that the company had previously undertaken a special task, which led to the lack of training in this course. In addition, the conditions during the field training were limited, and the company shared a site with a brother company, which greatly affected the training progress. However, as the assessment was approaching, they had to organize intensive training, and the sudden increase in training intensity made some soldiers very uncomfortable.
"The problems encountered by a company require the mobilization of the training resources of an entire brigade to solve them." In response to this situation, the training inspector coordinated with relevant business departments to study and formulate countermeasures. According to the requirements of the brigade leaders, they learned from the experience, investigated and sorted out similar problems throughout the brigade, adjusted the phased training plan, coordinated the use of training venues, training time, and training equipment, and selected excellent coaches to teach across battalions and companies, thus effectively avoiding the occurrence of problems such as lack of training, missed training, and biased training.
All-round supervision, problem solving throughout the process. Although the training inspection station is still led by the Operations and Training Section, it has become a platform for the brigade's overall coordination and cooperation. Through this platform, no matter what problems or contradictions arise in personnel, equipment, education, maintenance, work, training, and examination, they will be responded to immediately.
What is gratifying is that, through practical exploration, the training supervision station has "derived" unexpected results: some new training methods have become more mature during supervision.
