(III) Initial qualification review. From 08:00 on May 18, 2026 to 18:00 on May 26, 2026, employing units will conduct an initial qualification review of the information submitted by applicants through the Military Talent Network registration system to confirm whether applicants meet the application requirements; results of the initial review will be returned within 48 hours of registration. Applicants who pass the initial qualification review may not modify their registration information or switch to a different position. Applicants who do not pass the initial qualification review within the registration period may switch to a different position. Applicants who do not pass the initial qualification review during the period from 18:00 on May 24 to 18:00 on May 25 may, before 18:00 on May 26, revise and supplement the relevant supporting materials as required and resubmit for review, but may not switch to a different position. Applicants who do not pass the initial qualification review will not be scheduled to participate in the examination and assessment. Qualification review applies throughout the entire recruitment process; where an applicant is found at any stage of the recruitment process to not meet the application qualification requirements, their examination and assessment scores and eligibility for appointment will be cancelled.

(IV) Theory examination. Employing units will notify applicants of the time and location of the theory examination by telephone, text message, email, or other means (applicants must maintain open communications). Applicants must bring a valid resident identity card or other valid identification to the theory examination as notified by the employing unit. After the theory examination, the list of qualifying candidates will be determined in descending order of theory examination scores (including preferential bonus points) in accordance with the qualifying ratio specified in the position plan.

The following persons who have passed the initial registration qualification review and achieved a valid theory examination score will receive preferential bonus points on their examination scores: ① Spouses and children of military martyrs and military personnel who died in the line of duty, and siblings of unmarried military martyrs: 10 points added to the theory examination score. ② Spouses and children of active-duty military personnel, military personnel who retired in the current year, military personnel who died of illness while on active duty, and active-duty officers who have converted to civilian personnel status; social contract workers who have worked in military units for a cumulative period of 5 or more years; and veterans who have served for 5 or more years: 5 points added to the theory examination score. ③ Social contract workers and veterans who participated in combat operations, military operations with a combat background, or non-war military operations approved by the Central Military Commission or departments of the Central Military Commission, and who have been assessed as outstanding by the dispatching employing unit: 5 points added to the theory examination score. Among these, those who are also spouses or children of military martyrs or military personnel who died in the line of duty, or siblings of unmarried military martyrs, will have 15 points added to their theory examination score; those who are also spouses or children of active-duty military personnel, military personnel who retired in the current year, military personnel who died of illness while on active duty, or active-duty officers who have converted to civilian personnel status, will have 10 points added to their theory examination score. Where an applicant simultaneously qualifies for bonus points under multiple provisions above, the bonus points are not cumulative; the highest applicable bonus shall apply.

(V) Qualification re-verification. Employing units will re-verify the original supporting documents for qualifying candidates' identity information, educational credentials and major, vocational qualifications, work experience, and other materials. Those whose results are satisfactory will proceed to the skills assessment.

(VI) Skills assessment. Around late June, the skills assessment will be organized in conjunction with relevant military and civilian professional institutions, using a combination of on-site oral examination and practical operation. The specific time and relevant requirements will be communicated to qualifying candidates by the employing unit via email, telephone, or other means.

(VII) Physical examination. For candidates who achieve a passing score of 60 or above on the skills assessment, the employing unit will organize a physical examination in accordance with relevant military regulations. The physical examination will be conducted at a designated medical institution, with costs borne by the military.

(VIII) Determination of pre-selected candidates. The full score for both the theory examination and the skills assessment is 100 points each. The composite score is calculated on a 100-point scale, with the theory examination and skills assessment scores accounting for 40% and 60% respectively; scores are retained to two decimal places. Employing units will determine the list of pre-selected candidates in descending order of composite score at 120% of the planned recruitment number. Candidates whose skills assessment score is below 60 or who fail the physical examination may not be designated as pre-selected candidates. Where composite scores are equal, ranking will be determined successively by skills assessment score and then theory examination score.

(IX) Political review. Relevant military and civilian units will conduct a political review of pre-selected candidates in accordance with relevant regulations governing political review of military conscription and recruitment personnel. The political review focuses primarily on the individual's political and ideological conduct, with emphasis on: support for and implementation of the Party's theories, line, principles, and policies; compliance with state laws and regulations; political stance, political attitude, and actual conduct on major matters of principle and major political struggles; adherence to political discipline and political rules (政治纪律和政治规矩); moral character, religious beliefs, social associations, honesty and trustworthiness, and overseas travel (出国（境）); as well as the political background and criminal record of family members, the spouse's parents, and siblings not living together.

(X) Determination of proposed appointees. For pre-selected candidates whose political review conclusion is a pass, the employing unit will determine the list of proposed appointees in accordance with the number of positions in the recruitment plan, ranked by composite examination and assessment score, and will publicly announce the list through the Military Talent Network. For candidates about whom no objections are raised during the public announcement period, or where issues raised do not affect appointment, approval for appointment will be granted in accordance with the applicable authority, notification to report for probationary duty will be issued, and an employment contract will be signed.

V. Special Notice

No designated study guides are specified for the theory examination and skills assessment of the Eastern Theater Command's open recruitment of professionally skilled civilian personnel. No tutoring or training courses are organized or commissioned to any institution. All applicants are urged to remain vigilant, not to be misled or interfered with, and absolutely not to be deceived.
