The New Revolution In Military Affairs, Military Academies And Talent Training Mechanism

Since the 1980s, the six major high technologies with the information technology as the precursor, followed by new materials technology, new energy technology, biologic technology, space technology and marine technology, have been fully absorbed into, applied to and developed in the military field, thus ushering in a new military transformation with the military information technology as its core. This new military transformation is greatly changing the old features of military struggles, thus resulting in a series of tremendous revolutionary and qualitative changes throughout the military field. During the course of the new military transformation with informationization as its main characteristic and with knowledge as its leading factor, talents-carriers of knowledge- are the most active factor and are the key factor which influences and promotes the new military transformation. Facing challenges of the new military transformation, whether military academies can train and bring up a large number of quality military personnel at higher starting point with strategic thinking and forwardlooking insight, and meeting the needs of modernization, the world and the future, will have a direct bearing on whether our military forces can keep pace with the trend of world military development and can remain unconquerable in future high-tech wars. Therefore, a study should be taken into the new characteristics, rules, requirements, and moves of the personnel training of military academies during the new military transformation to offer right thinking, methods and ways to speed the training of new-type quality military personnel. This is an objective requirement to suit the new military transformation, an urgent need to accomplish the leapfrogging development of our military modernization, an urgent matter to raise the scientific and technological quality of military personnel, and the only way to promote the educational reform of military academies.This thesis examines the background, cause, characteristics and developing trend of the new military revolution. It offers a deep study into the relationship between the new military transformation and the military personnel training. It points out three obvious gaps: the comprehensive quality of the military personnel under current personnel training of military academies cannot meet the requirements of all-dimensional wars with combined offense and defense under the conditions of the new military transformation; the working ability of the military personnel cannot meet the needs of the weaponry developing trend under the conditions of the new military transformation; and the development orientation of the military personnel cannot suit the needs of future military informationization drive. Then according to the internal requirements for new knowledge, technology, quality and ability of military personnel by the developing trend of the new military transformation, the thesis offers anall-round analysis of the characteristics of the new-type military personnel under the conditions of the new military transformation. The thesis expounds in a novel and all-round way eight characteristics that quality military personnel of new type need to accomplish the requirements of the new military transformation, that's, comprehensiveness, compositeness, all-roundness, innovativeness, developmentalness, intelligence, openness, and applicability. Under this model structure, to overcome the deficiencies in current personnel training concept, methods and system, the thesis originates a new personnel training concept characterized by people-oriented education, contents advancing with times, diversified methods, overall quality, and classified administration; a new personnel training system characterized by comprehensive and optimized disciplinary specialties, overlapping courses, methods of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, scientific and rational assessment, and quality management integrating the objective with the course; and a new personnel training measure strengthe...
