Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

The deputy political commissar and secretary of the discipline inspection commission of the group army, the chief of staff, and the director of the political department also expressed their agreement.

Several major generals expressed their agreement, and the two senior colonels at the division level who were admitted to the Standing Committee, namely the Minister of Logistics and the Minister of Equipment, naturally did not raise any objections.

After all the standing committee members had expressed their opinions, Gao Shijun placed the summary table in the center of the table and said in a deep voice, "The team has reached a consensus, so this matter is settled."

However, considering that the pilot battalion's organization and equipment allocation are still undergoing approval procedures by the military region, the formal order for the appointment of the battalion commander will not be issued for the time being. Instead, Zhang Anbang will be appointed as the acting battalion commander of the pilot combined arms battalion.

The Political Department drafted a temporary appointment notice today, which will be officially sent to the T Division tomorrow afternoon. The handover procedures will be completed within a week, and Zhang Anbang will be transferred to the preparatory group to be responsible for coordinating the collection of personnel and equipment.

The formal appointment order will be issued in a unified document after the pilot battalion's organization is fully finalized and all equipment is in place.

After speaking, he looked at Chen Shi, the commander of the T Division, and Liu Gang, the political commissar, who were present, and said, "Your division must fully cooperate, giving priority to personnel, equipment, and venues, and you must not shirk your responsibilities or slow down the pilot project."

The Gao Cheng plan has a significant advantage in armored reconnaissance modules. In the subsequent pilot battalion's reconnaissance module construction, he can be drawn upon to participate in the entire collaborative assault.

Division Commander Chen Shi immediately stood up and stated, "Please rest assured, Commander, our division will resolutely implement the deployment of the Group Army Party Committee."

Preparations for the pilot battalion were launched immediately, with priority given to personnel selection, equipment acquisition, and site support. No compromises or delays were made, and all efforts were made to ensure the successful implementation and effectiveness of the combined arms battalion pilot project.

Meanwhile, Gao Cheng was assigned to oversee the entire reconnaissance module's development and coordinate with the pilot mission.

"Hmm," Gao Shijun nodded slightly, then his gaze swept over Liu Chunhua, the commander of the B Division, and Zhou Yuanchao, the political commissar, and he continued, "Your B Division's Chen Beizhou has a clear and well-thought-out plan, which is also quite good."

Although he tends to be conservative and steady, it's clear that he has a solid foundation and is capable of handling things.

We should consciously cultivate such comrades, instead of keeping them confined to the office. They need more training and tempering so that they can grow faster.

When your division coordinates subsequent cadre adjustments, please take this into consideration. Later on, you could also have him visit more often to observe and participate in combined arms tactics discussions.

Division Commander Liu Chunhua immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude, saying, "We thank the Party Committee for its cultivation and recognition of grassroots cadres. After the meeting, we will immediately review the cadre appointment records and coordinate the adjustment of positions."

We are specifically providing Comrade Chen Beizhou with a platform for grassroots experience, and will arrange for him to participate more in combined arms battalion tactical discussions in the near future to address his shortcomings in frontline experience and steadily hone his skills to become a capable individual.

Gao Shijun slightly raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and scanned the entire room. "Then let's move on to the next topic: studying and reviewing the selection of candidates for the pilot combined arms battalion instructors."

The pilot battalion is a key new organizational structure pilot project for the army group, requiring the simultaneous appointment and implementation of both military and political leaders. The success or failure of the pilot project directly depends on political work, ideological stability, and the building of team cohesion.

The political commissar nodded. "The army commander is right. The pilot mission is special. Only by having both military and political personnel in place can we simultaneously focus on training and ideological work, and ensure that the preparatory work is completed in one go, avoiding delays in the formation process due to separate research."

Now that the person in charge of the pilot project has been decided, let's discuss the instructors who will lead the team today. Even if we can't decide on one, let's at least list one person.

"Commander Chen Shi, Political Commissar Liu Gang, since the pilot program has been set up in your division, and the commanding officer is also from your division, why don't you two speak first and say if you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Gang, the political commissar of the T Division, leaned forward slightly and spoke first, "Yes, political commissar, army commander, and standing committee members, regarding the political instructors, there are currently two suitable candidates within our T Division."

Zhang Anbang was appointed as the acting battalion commander. The political instructor needed to be able to understand the new political work requirements of the combined unit, and he needed to be able to complement Zhang Anbang's personality and work well together.

The first recommended candidate is Hong Xingguo, the current deputy political instructor of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. He served as the political instructor of the 7th Company when Zhang Anbang was the deputy company commander of the 7th Armored Reconnaissance Company.

This comrade has long been involved in ideological work in elite companies, is familiar with the management of elite soldiers at the grassroots level, has a stable temperament, and can balance the ideological fluctuations of officers and soldiers caused by the high-intensity pilot training.

...He is an outstanding political officer, well-suited for a crack unit.

Another is He Hongtao, the current deputy political instructor of the 1st Battalion of the 702nd Regiment. This comrade understands the soldiers' feelings, promotes ideological work in a gentle way, has a good eye for people, cherishes talent, and works very conscientiously. He is also a model political cadre.

Furthermore, this comrade had served as an instructor in the recruit training company and worked with Zhang Anbang, who was the deputy company commander at the time, for several months. The two knew each other very well, which was very conducive to the work...

Liu Gang explained the resumes, strengths and weaknesses, and reasons for the compatibility of the two candidates.

Division Commander Chen Shi added, "Commander, Political Commissar, and all Standing Committee members, I have investigated both candidates recommended by Political Commissar Liu Gang, and I would like to add some considerations from a practical combat perspective."

Comrade Hong Xingguo worked with the armored company for many years and was familiar with armored infantry tactics. He also worked with Gao Cheng to lead the elite Steel Seventh Company for more than three years.

It can better keep up with the pace of equipment testing and field training in the pilot battalion, and will not result in a disconnect between political work and training.

Personally, I would prefer to recommend Hung Hsing-kuo as the political instructor of the pilot battalion; the combination of military and political work would be very effective.

After the two finished their introductions, the group army's political commissar and Gao Shijun exchanged a glance and said, "In that case, the political department will complete the political instructor assessment within a week, and the next Standing Committee meeting will hold a special meeting to supplement the list of political work officers."

……

After the army group meeting, Gao Shijun returned to his office and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the plan for the combined arms battalion written by Gao Cheng on his desk.

He really didn't expect that his somewhat stubborn son had made such great progress, although his proposed solutions were not as good as Zhang Anbang's.

It's not that it's done poorly, but rather that there's a gap in digitization and information technology. The training program itself isn't bad, especially since it's very clear from the program that this kid is diligently learning about information technology.

Thinking of this, he grabbed the phone on his desk and dialed.

"Hello, this is Gao Shijun."

Gao Cheng paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then immediately replied, "Greetings, Commander. This is Gao Cheng, Deputy Battalion Commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, T Division. Please give your instructions."

"Haha," Gao Shijun laughed heartily upon hearing this, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You brat," "Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, I've read your proposal, it's very good, although it's somewhat lacking in digitization and information technology."

But I can see that you are studying. How is your study going? Are you finding it difficult? What are the main difficulties?

Are the IT equipment in the camp sufficient? Are there professional instructors to provide training? I know your reconnaissance battalion has a heavy daily training schedule, is it difficult to squeeze in study time?
