Swordsman Gao Tian Three Musketeers

Some time ago, a message brushed the screen in a specific circle of friends, and soon there were signs of breaking the circle.
Strictly speaking, this is a step-by-step routine operation of army building.
But combined with a recent series of unusual signs, this can also reflect that China has a new prejudgment of the current security environment and the security challenges it may face, which is indeed unusual.
If it is placed in normal times, this message may not really attract too much attention.
An ordinary document, the Interim Provisions on the Guarantee of Medical Treatment for Military Personnel and Military-Related Personnel, seems to have little direct relevance to most people, although it is not simple.
The most eye-catching of the regulations is this article, starting from January 1, 2022, "to achieve free medical treatment for military spouses, preferential medical treatment for parents of military officers and non-commissioned officers and spouses, and continue to implement free medical treatment for minor children of military personnel and military personnel".
In recent years, the salaries of military personnel have been raised according to routine, and this time the welfare of military family members has also been comprehensively improved.
At present, the situation on the Sino-Indian border has been repeated over and over again, the United States has exploded its Cold War mentality toward China, and Taiwan's small actions have continued... In the context, some people think of the current situation, in fact, there is no surprise that there is such an association.
After all, for any country, stabilizing the military family and eliminating the worries of the military as much as possible can be directly transformed into the combat effectiveness and will to fight of the army.
Improving the welfare of military dependents belongs to the proper meaning of China's military modernization construction, which is not a whim, but has been advancing in an orderly manner, but just in time for such a time.
Frankly speaking, although the past two decades have been accelerating and running fast, there is still a certain gap between the Chinese military and the more developed countries, including welfare guarantees.
The real unusualness is not this document, but a series of movements revealed as a whole, China's judgment of the security environment and challenges may really be different from the past, and more importantly, the word "preparation" conveys that China is prepared to deal with various provocations, and the worst case is of course war.
This is also China's national defense strategy of active defense, which rarely highlights the "positive" posture.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the welfare treatment of military personnel is showing two situations: "peripheral" + "inner".
For example, the top 10 "periphery" benefits involving married military personnel:
The first benefit, as The Spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, said on July 28, was to pay a 500 yuan honorary payment to the spouses of military personnel, which began to be replenished in June this year, and was credited to his account with the monthly salary.
The second benefit, adjusted the separation fee between the two places, the same city separation, and it is 1000 yuan, each month with the salary, if it is a mission abroad, there is also an additional 500 yuan, a total of 1500 yuan.
The third benefit, if you do not have a job, follow your lover to the garrison with the army, you can pay a monthly military allowance, the amount depending on the position, between 1500-2400.
The fourth benefit is the rental allowance. If you can't accompany the army and your household registration is in the garrison, you can apply for a rental subsidy, which is between 1200-1500 per month. If you are separated from the two places, you can come to the team for a month, and this month's rental subsidy is also issued, according to the above standards.
The fifth benefit, which began to be implemented in August, if you want to move, or go out for more than 6 months, is to pay a moving allowance, the amount of the subsidy is 4000-6000, which is actually my basic salary.
The sixth benefit, if you have children at home. Before the age of 6, you will be issued 150 education fees per month, of course, the education fees will rise with the development of society in real time. No matter how many are born, there are.
The seventh benefit, that is, the reimbursement of property fees, is usually issued according to different grades, such as about 180 battalion posts, about 200 regimental posts, and so on, about 2,000 a year.
The eighth benefit, is the heating cost in the north, this may not be in the south, such as the regimental post, the original 80 flat, multiplied by the local heating fee of 26 yuan per square meter, that is, 2080, of course, now the regimental area has increased, all levels have increased, and the heating fee has also risen.
The ninth benefit, that is, the unemployed spouse with the military, your pension insurance, medical insurance and other insurance are also paid to you by the army, adding up to about 1,000, will also be into your social security account.
The tenth benefit is the most important travel expenses for visiting relatives. This travel expense is also a lot of income. This varies depending on individual circumstances.
Looking closely at these benefits, it can be said that the state and the army have blessed the "backyard" of the soldiers.
The "inner" benefits that have attracted many people's attention when to raise wages are actually a normalized timetable, and any series of actions involving the increase in military salaries are in the continuous improvement of the "peripheral" welfare benefits, forming a benign foundation.
It has to be said that the gap between the basic salaries and allowances of local governments and the military is too large.
Among the wage income of local personnel, the proportion of the basic wage part uniformly stipulated by the state is getting smaller and smaller, and the proportion of various subsidies and subsidies is getting larger and larger, and there is a general phenomenon of "inversion" that the subsidy part of Tianjin greatly exceeds the basic wage.
Of course, there are also a large number of non-wage income, according to the survey, in addition to the unified wage policy of the state and the subsidies and subsidies issued by the local government, the income issued by the unit and the labor and property income obtained by individuals exist in large quantities.
The inertia of the military income distribution system has led to the fact that the army is still a single income distribution structure and distribution form.
In addition to the unified wage policy of the state, the military can keep up with the local subsidy policies issued by various provinces and cities, because the army has no funding sources and policy support, which is generally difficult to refer to and implement.
The salaries of active-duty servicemen, which are basically equal to or close to the full income of the central financial appropriations, are basically equal to or close to the full income, and at the same time, due to the policy reasons of the state and the army, active-duty servicemen cannot engage in secondary occupations and lose many opportunities to generate income.
To put it simply, the auxiliary "wage increase" that solves the "peripheral" factor is a long-term engineering volume, and once it is solved, it will not be too far from the wage increase.
"The reward can not be thick, and the prohibition cannot be heavy." Again, the salary of a soldier cannot only be counted as a soldier himself, but also a contribution from a military family.
Accelerating the reform of the military salary and welfare policy is to further improve the happiness index of military families.
