At the inaugural meeting of the Information Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, President Xi Jinping presented the military flag to the information support force and delivered a speech, profoundly expounding the great significance of the readjustment and formation of the information support force, fully affirming the important position and responsibility of the information support force, and putting forward clear requirements for comprehensively strengthening the building of the information support force, pointing out the direction of progress and providing fundamental guidelines for building a powerful and modern information support force.
Win by information communication. Modern warfare is a confrontation between systems and a contest between systems. Whoever has the superiority in information will have the initiative in the war. The adjustment and establishment of the information support force is a major policy decision made by the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and Chairman Xi Jinping from the perspective of the overall situation of strengthening the military industry, and is a strategic measure to build a new type of institutional layout of services and arms and improve the system of modern military forces with Chinese characteristics, which is of great and far-reaching significance for accelerating the modernization of national defense and the armed forces and effectively fulfilling the missions and tasks of the people's army in the new era. After this reform, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has generally formed a new-type structure of the army, navy, air force, rocket force, and other services under the leadership and command of the Central Military Commission, as well as the military space force, cyberspace force, information support force, and joint logistics support force, and the military force system with Chinese characteristics has been further improved.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that the construction and application of the network information system should be coordinated. Network information technology has become the "biggest variable" in the development of the times, and has also become an important increment in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops. As a newly created strategic branch of the armed forces, the information support force is the key support for the overall planning of the construction and application of the network information system, and plays an important role and has a heavy responsibility in promoting the high-quality development of our army and winning modern wars. Reform is bound to succeed, and a strong army can be expected. The establishment of the information support unit will certainly help enhance our army's joint combat capability and all-domain combat capability based on the network information system, and will certainly help to achieve the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army as scheduled and speed up the building of the people's army into a world-class army.
The commander gave a thousand awards, and the soldiers thought the same. The information support force must unify its thinking and action with President Xi's decision-making instructions, concentrate its wisdom and strength on the realization of the new goals, and strive to create a new situation in the construction of the army with a high degree of historical consciousness and a strong sense of mission. It is necessary to resolutely obey the party's command and ensure that the troops are absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely reliable. It is necessary to vigorously support operations, deeply integrate into the joint operations system of the whole army, accurately and efficiently carry out information support, and serve and support military struggles in all directions and fields. It is necessary to speed up innovation and development, build a network information system that meets the requirements of modern warfare and has the characteristics of our army in accordance with the strategic requirements of system integration and global support, and promote the acceleration of the system's combat capability with high quality. It is necessary to consolidate the foundation of the troops, ensure a high degree of centralization, unity, security, and stability, and resolutely fulfill all tasks entrusted by the party and the people.
Reform and strengthen the army, and the clarion call urges the conscription to open a new chapter. At present, the whole army is going all out to fight a tough battle to achieve the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army. The responsibility is great, and the mission is urgent. The vast number of officers and soldiers should conscientiously study and implement President Xi's precepts, implement Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, implement the military strategic guidelines for the new era, adhere to the principle of building the army politically, reforming and strengthening the army, strengthening the army with science and technology, strengthening the army with talents, and governing the army according to law, focus on preparing for war, strengthen the mission, pay close attention to the implementation of work, anchor the goal, move forward bravely and resolutely, constantly push forward the cause of strengthening the military in the new era, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and provide strong strategic support for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization.
