“how do we manage the assigned personnel well?” last year, when i asked lin wei, a cadre of the engineering company of a brigade of the 73rd army group, for advice, he frowned and looked embarrassed.

this year, facing the same problem, lin weiwei spoke with a little more ease: "the 'mobile soldier information card' launched by the brigade has given us a handle on the management of assigned personnel, and we know what to do and how to do it."

some time ago, after the field training began, the engineering company was assigned a task by the superiors to study the obstacle-breaking topic. to this end, the brigade headquarters selected several experienced soldiers from other companies and assigned them to the engineering company. along with these soldiers came a number of "mobile soldier information cards".

when i met lin wei, there were several "mobile soldier information cards" spread out on his desk. at that time, he was recording the recent performance of several assigned personnel. personality characteristics, work performance, ideological status... opening the "mobile soldier information card", the basic situation of the assigned personnel is clear at a glance.

previously, management problems caused by a lack of understanding of the assigned personnel had troubled many grassroots commanders of the brigade, including lin weiwei.

last year, according to mission requirements and instructions from superiors, some personnel from the repair company were assigned to the engineering company. this was a good thing for the engineering company, but within a week, one of the assigned personnel violated the rules and was reported to the brigade. lin wei was criticized by name at the brigade handover meeting.

lin wei later learned that the attached officer had a quarrel with his fiancée in his previous unit. in order to save the relationship, he violated the rules and secretly used his mobile phone. lin wei was a little annoyed: "if i had known about the soldier's situation earlier, this would not have happened."

"the main purpose of our launching the 'mobile soldier situation card' is to help the task unit understand and grasp the basic situation of the assigned personnel and record their actual performance during the mission." liu chong, a staff officer of the brigade's troop management department, told the author and shared a personal experience.

during the training last year, he found during an inspection in a certain company that several of his assigned personnel did not participate in the company's unified physical training, and one soldier even hid in a tent to read a novel. when asked why, the soldier stammered and replied: no matter how hard i train here or how well i work, the cadres of my original unit won't see me, so i might as well take the opportunity to take a break.

afterwards, liu chong and the company commander disagreed on how to deal with these assigned personnel. liu chong believed that the assigned personnel should be managed by the task unit, and any problems should be the responsibility of the task unit. however, the commander believed that the assigned personnel came from other companies, and they neither knew their specific circumstances nor were they able to manage them strictly, so it was not entirely their responsibility if any problems occurred with the assigned personnel. when the commander of the company where the assigned personnel were located heard about this, he believed that they had selected personnel to assist in completing the task, and that the task unit had not fulfilled its management responsibilities, and should not have found excuses to shirk responsibility.

"some task units don't know how to manage the assigned personnel, some are unwilling to manage them, and some assigned personnel relax their self-requirements because they are in a management gray area." the management of assigned personnel has attracted the attention of the brigade leaders. this year, based on extensive research, the brigade launched the "mobile soldier situation card", which, on the one hand, makes it easier for task units to grasp the basic situation and ideological foundation of assigned personnel and better manage them; on the other hand, it clarifies that the task units are responsible for the management of assigned personnel, and at the same time dynamically records the ideological status and work performance of assigned personnel as the basis for the original unit to evaluate and award merits.

after the launch of the "mobile soldier information card", it has been widely praised. the repair company sends personnel to various training locations for support every year. guan dexu, a cadre of the company, said that before this, he was often worried about the performance of the assigned personnel. now with the "mobile soldier information card", the education and management of the assigned personnel has been settled, and their work performance is recorded truthfully. he no longer has to worry about this and can focus more on the work tasks of the company.

lin qichao, a cadre of the tank company, felt it more deeply. due to mission requirements, a soldier named xiao deng from a certain company was often assigned to their company. xiao deng was used to "skipping" when it came to dirty and tiring work, which gave lin qichao a headache. later, lin qichao learned that xiao deng's performance was remarkable when he was assigned to the company at first, but he was not recognized after returning to the company. he therefore believed that there was no difference between the assigned personnel doing a good job or a bad job.

however, since he got the "mobile soldier information card", xiao deng has changed his previous lax style and has become more proactive in his work. not long ago, during a confrontation exercise, xiao deng worked hard for a week in the training field under the scorching sun to ensure that all the equipment of the tank company was in good condition.

the "soldier information card" follows the mission, and the management rights and responsibilities are clearer. now, the management of the attached personnel of the brigade is on the right track, and the order of the troops is becoming more and more regular. liu chong said that the number of attached personnel criticized during the training this year has been greatly reduced compared with previous years.

recently, the force management section has also received suggestions on improving the "mobile soldier information card": some battalion and company commanders have expressed the hope that the "mobile soldier information card" can be updated with information on the professional capabilities of the assigned personnel, so as to better divide the tasks. liu chong said that in the next step, they will work with the training department to sort out the professional levels of the assigned personnel, the execution of tasks, and other situations, and upgrade the "mobile soldier information card".
