Take multiple measures to aggregate diverse combat forces
2025-11-21
Modern warfare is a confrontation between systems, a competition between alliances and alliances. With the accelerated evolution of warfare towards informatization and intelligence, "fighting alone" is no longer suitable for the requirements of future battlefields. In the face of the trend of higher degree system integration in information and intelligent warfare, aggregating diverse combat forces to achieve doubled overall combat effectiveness has become the key to adapting to the development of war forms and even determining the outcome of the battlefield. It is of great significance to deeply grasp the internal mechanism of the aggregation of diverse combat forces, innovate the use of forces, strengthen system thinking, and strive to achieve coordination, flexibility, and maneuverability, in order to enhance our military's ability to win. Unified command builds a solid foundation for aggregation. The way of all soldiers is to be unified, and unified command is the core requirement for gathering diverse forces and forming a systematic synergy. Aggregating diverse combat forces is like "clenching fingers into fists". Only by achieving efficient focus, coordinated release, and complementary advantages can powerful combat forces in multiple fields truly achieve the effect of "1+1>2". In this process, a unified and efficient command and control mechanism is like a "palm". As a hub connecting the "five fingers", it plays an important role in centering the scheduling, unblocking the system, and ensuring the effective transmission of power. Without a unified command and control mechanism, even the most powerful power elements can hardly form a real synergy. In response to this situation, one is to strengthen the joint command "center". We need to establish a joint command structure that integrates peacetime and wartime, with clear rights and responsibilities, optimize command organization, and achieve centralized and unified command and control over all participating forces. The second is to connect the "arteries" of information sharing. We need to establish a comprehensive combat cloud and data link system, build advanced information processing systems, break down barriers to information sharing such as intelligence reconnaissance, command and control, and firepower strikes, especially to solve the problem of interconnection and interoperability of specialized information systems for various military branches, and break down the "chimney" style information island. The third is to weave a comprehensive security "network". We need to establish a comprehensive support system for three-dimensional delivery and precise supply, provide material support for the unified allocation of resources among various military branches, and ensure that diverse forces can continue and coordinate their combat effectiveness. Focus on defeating enemies to achieve precise energy release. In traditional warfare, the victory or defeat on the battlefield often depends on the ability to concentrate superior forces to deliver decisive strikes on the enemy's key points. Although the winning factors of joint operations have long broken through the concept of "superior forces", the winning logic contained therein has never been outdated. This enlightens us that when unleashing diverse combat forces, we should avoid using equal force, but rather each should perform their own duties, have clear priorities, and unite forces to achieve precise strikes on the enemy's vital points. On the one hand, it is necessary to accurately identify the enemy's key targets. We need to deeply analyze the enemy's combat system structure, accurately identify key areas such as command centers, information network nodes, and critical support facilities, keenly capture fighter jets, quickly detect brief "fragile windows" in the enemy's system, make decisive decisions, and launch attacks quickly to ensure targeted strike actions. On the other hand, we need to concentrate our advantageous forces to defeat the enemy. To gather elite combat units and effective strike weapons at critical time points and main combat directions, and accurately calculate the firepower requirements of troops; Innovate the use of combat methods, adjust strike strategies in a timely manner, comprehensively utilize special operations, cyber attacks, electromagnetic suppression and other means, and implement "point and shoot" strikes on enemy key points, striving to achieve precise enemy control through sudden and violent structural damage. Optimize the layout and shape a favorable situation. The importance of shaping a situation lies in its emphasis on self centeredness, seizing the "high ground" in various fields, taking the lead in controlling the situation, actively adjusting the pace, rather than being led by others, and striving to be good at "leading the dance" rather than "dancing" with others. It can be said that whoever can shape the situation holds the initiative and becomes the "protagonist" in military competition; Whoever stands on the side of the favorable situation is on the side of victory. In modern joint operations, the deployment of multiple combat forces is like "playing chess". To create a favorable situation, we must attach importance to the position and role of each element. This requires us to first optimize the layout of new and old forces. The modern battlefield emphasizes the organic integration and functional complementarity of new and old, high and low-end forces. It is necessary to scientifically analyze the characteristics of each unit according to mission needs, reasonably organize traditional firepower and intelligent combat platforms, and form a mutually supportive force system; We need to use new combat forces such as unmanned combat platforms, intelligent ammunition, and electronic warfare systems on a large scale and in a systematic manner, and build a multidimensional integrated combat system and an "intelligent force field" through advanced deployment and distributed application. Secondly, it is necessary to accurately control the pace of combat. The control of combat rhythm is the key to mastering the initiative. It is necessary to analyze and perceive the transition nodes in real time based on the battlefield situation, innovate the combination of fast and slow, and adjust the corresponding virtual and real methods, grasp the timing of force release and recovery, be good at using the "rhythm difference" to manufacture fighter jets, and master the battlefield dominance. We need to deepen cross domain collaboration efficiency once again. We need to establish rules for the coordination of multiple domain forces, innovate manned/unmanned, soft/hard kill combination tactics, ensure their mutual coordination and close cooperation under a unified combat rhythm, achieve precise coordination and functional aggregation of cross domain forces, and form a coordinated effectiveness of the force system. Dynamic regulation enhances aggregation resilience. The battlefield situation is constantly changing, and the combat force is not static. It is necessary to dynamically adjust and continuously optimize according to the growth and decline of both enemy and friendly forces and changes in the battlefield. Modern joint operations emphasize enhancing the resilience and intelligence of the combat force system through real-time perception, flexible command, and rapid reconstruction, ensuring stable and sustainable operational effectiveness. One is to establish a resilient situational awareness mechanism. To utilize advanced sensor networks and command information systems, intelligent algorithms should be used to achieve multi-source information fusion and autonomous judgment, improve the resilience of continuous perception in complex electromagnetic and partially damaged node environments, achieve real-time perception and accurate prediction of battlefield situations, and provide a basis for control decisions. The second is to innovate flexible command and control mechanisms. We need to build a reconfigurable command architecture under a unified operational intention, dynamically adjust command authority relationships, develop intelligent decision-making systems to improve decision-making quality, ensure that the command chain can continue to flow smoothly even when attacked, and enhance the decision-making quality and stability of the command system in stressful environments. The third is to strengthen the ability to reconstruct the power system. Scientifically plan the rhythm of military firepower use, timely organize rounds of rest and equipment ammunition replenishment, improve modular force grouping and rapid replenishment processes, build an adaptive control system, ensure rapid response to unexpected situations, and maintain the learning, evolution, and sustained resilience of the combat force system; Continuously optimizing the system architecture through practical exercises, ensuring timely replenishment and regeneration of damaged units, and maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the combat system.
