In early autumn, a live combat exercise quietly began in a certain region. Sergeant Yuan Jinjie from a certain brigade of the Information Support Force proficiently operated equipment to open up air signal channels, achieving full coverage of network support in the exercise area. His excellent professional skills were recognized by superiors. Thank you for the trust and cultivation of the organization. I will continue to work hard, improve my skills, and contribute to the construction of the combat effectiveness of the army! ”After the exercise ended, Yuan Jinjie was overjoyed to learn that he had successfully stayed in the team. This time, more than 70 soldiers boarded the "direct train" for selecting soldiers for Shanxi, all of whom were the backbone of their respective positions. ”Regarding the selection process of Yuan Jinjie, Zhang, a staff member of the Human Resources Department of the brigade, told reporters, "In recent years, based on the actual participation of brigade officers and soldiers in major tasks on a regular basis, we have clearly defined the key retention of soldiers who have performed outstandingly in major tasks, especially increasing the retention of new domain and new quality professional talents, establishing a 'through train' system for selecting soldiers, and setting a clear direction for prioritizing the retention of 'combat oriented' talents. Sergeant Wang Yunbo of the brigade is also a beneficiary of this measure. In September 2023, Wang Yunbo enlisted as a targeted soldier and achieved the first place in relevant majors in the mass training competition organized by the entire brigade last year. He is a well-known professional talent in the new field and new quality of the brigade. At the end of last year, the brigade urgently needed relevant professional backbone support to participate in a certain task. Upon hearing this news, Wang Yunbo was both excited and anxious - he wanted to sign up for frontline stress training in the mission, but he was also worried about affecting his selection as a soldier for the next year. After learning that the brigade had introduced a "direct train" system for selecting soldiers, Wang Yunbo dispelled his concerns. In the face of challenges during the mission, he leveraged his professional strengths and successfully ensured over 30 various experimental tasks, becoming a core member of his team. In September of this year, Wang Yunbo, who had completed the task excellently, was selected as a key reserve target and successfully promoted to sergeant on the "direct train" for selecting soldiers. A sound retention and utilization mechanism provides a "reassurance pill" for outstanding talents. Recently, the selection experience of Sergeant Meng Xiangrui from a certain company in the brigade has attracted widespread attention from all the officers and soldiers in the brigade. In this selection, Meng Xiangrui and another comrade in the platoon held the same position, with vocational skill appraisal level and training experience meeting the promotion requirements, and their performance in the selection assessment was also comparable. Due to Meng Xiangrui's recent return from a certain mission area, he has not been working in the company for the past six months and has relatively little communication and exchange with his comrades, which does not give him an advantage in democratic evaluation. According to past practice, the "contribution rate of company work" is an important criterion for selecting soldiers and is also a widely recognized evaluation basis for officers and soldiers. After multiple communications and deliberations among members of the company's party branch, it is believed that the work of the company cannot be simply used as a criterion for evaluation. Instead, the measure of combat effectiveness should be used to determine the length and retention of personnel. For this reason, they contacted the frontline command center of the mission and learned that Meng Xiangrui, as a key force in the mission area, has outstanding learning ability and played a significant role. In particular, he took the initiative to compile and organize the "Wartime Equipment Operation Manual" based on the characteristics of the military mission, which became a teaching material for the mission area. The other comrade, although performing well, has relatively weaker professional abilities. After comprehensive consideration, based on the consideration of retaining "combat oriented" talents, the company's party branch gives priority to recommending Meng Xiangrui to stay in the team. To promote the construction of talent teams in units, the 'contribution rate of combat effectiveness generation' should be taken as the first criterion. ”The instructor of a certain camp in the brigade said that selecting soldiers for promotion is an important step in cultivating high-quality backbone talents, and it is necessary to retain comrades who are capable and have potential in order to form a demonstration and driving effect. In order to let the officers and soldiers understand the work performance of the personnel who intend to participate in the selection of Jin when carrying out tasks outside, we will coordinate with the front line to issue task appraisals, which will be announced to all officers and soldiers at the military assembly; Unable to return to participate in the selection assessment, they entrusted the task area to conduct on-site assessment and sent back the video... In the selection work of soldiers, they always adhere to the measure of combat effectiveness and regard the performance of major tasks as an important evaluation criterion for soldier selection. At the same time, a personalized selection and assessment plan will be developed for comrades who have previously carried out major tasks, strictly following the prescribed procedures and steps for soldier selection, and adhering to the principle of one person, one strategy, and rigorous organization of assessment. After successfully selecting Jin, Meng Xiangrui sighed and said, "The criteria for selecting soldiers for Jin are more scientific, and the orientation of preparing for war is more prominent. Everyone has more enthusiasm for work, entrepreneurship, and empowering for war." "All energy is focused on fighting, and all work is devoted to fighting. ”After this year's soldier selection work, the instructor of a certain battalion in the brigade has a deeper understanding of this sentence. As a newly adjusted mobile communication force, this battalion involves a large number of soldiers selected for Jin. In September of this year, four outstanding soldiers in the mission area of the battalion were unable to stay due to quota restrictions. Working together in the same mission area, carrying out tasks with flesh on both hands and palms. ”How to maximize the retention of talents has been quite distressing for Instructor Cheng. The work of selecting Jin must closely focus on the construction of combat effectiveness, and cannot allow the 'combat oriented' talents who have been painstakingly cultivated to be lost. We must try our best to retain soldiers who have outstanding performance in military training and preparation. ”After understanding the relevant situation, the party committee of the brigade conducted centralized research as soon as possible, communicated repeatedly with superiors, adhered to the principle of prioritizing the urgent needs of preparing for war, applied for the selection indicators to tilt towards urgently needed majors, and used planning and regulation policies to adjust four selection indicators for the battalion, so that key personnel could be retained. In order to carry out detailed and practical talent retention work, they also conducted in-depth research on the current situation of talents in various professions and positions, established a "clear account" of "combat oriented" talents, refined to positions and precise to individuals, and had a clear idea of "what kind of people should be, what specific people are needed, and what kind of people should be cultivated", promoting the orderly development of the construction of the military talent team. Not long ago, Sergeant Li Jialuo, who had just participated in a major mission, was successfully promoted to Second Class Sergeant. The backbone can be retained, and talents can be utilized well. After the task was completed, Li Jialuo summarized the operational norms and formed a replicable "operation prompt list" throughout the entire brigade, which provided valuable experience for subsequent task execution. Standing up as a clear guide for selecting talents in the war, we focus on selecting and retaining soldiers who perform outstandingly and have outstanding abilities in major tasks. Behind their military rank 'upgrade' is the overall leap in the combat capability of the troops. ”The leader of the brigade introduced that by closely following the mission and tasks to carry out the selection and promotion of soldiers, they have truly achieved the goal of selecting the best and retaining the strong. Focus on selecting candidates for battles and cultivating talents through winning battles. Not long ago, the brigade organized a rotation of officers and soldiers in the mission area. Many officers and soldiers who were about to face selection no longer had any concerns and volunteered to join the front line of major tasks to strengthen their skills and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the brigade's soldier team's abilities and qualities.
