PAP Xining Detachment Conducts In-Depth Study and Implementation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Strengthening the Military

武警西宁支队深入学习贯彻习近平强军思想

PLA Daily (解放军报) 3 August 2026

Summary

The PAP Qinghai Corps' Xining Detachment used after-action reviews following tactical training to surface grassroots complaints about headquarters-generated disruptions to training plans, then convened a Party committee meeting to formalize corrective measures, including streamlining documents and meetings under the 'five excesses' (五多) reduction campaign and introducing a 'small modules, multiple batches, short cycles' (小模块、多批次、短周期) training schedule. This is standard political rectification content (政治整训); its value is as a record of how a PAP detachment-level unit frames the tension between administrative burden and combat readiness, and of the institutional vocabulary used to justify internal discipline measures to junior officers. The specific complaint that headquarters notifications routinely disrupt training plans documents a persistent coordination problem at the detachment level, but the article provides no basis for assessing whether the corrective measures changed actual training outcomes.

PAP Xining Detachment Conducts In-Depth Study and Implementation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Strengthening the Military——

Concentrating Strength Toward Combat, Eliminating Deep-Rooted Malpractices, and Going Into Battle Unburdened to Pursue Victory (聚力向战除积弊轻装上阵谋打赢)

■ Xu Liang, Duo Minqi

On a summer morning, a tactical training exercise at the Xining Detachment of the People's Armed Police (PAP) Qinghai Corps had just concluded when an after-action review immediately got underway. A standing member of the detachment Party committee who had observed the training organized the participating officers and soldiers on the spot to discuss and analyze key passages from Volume Four of "Xi Jinping on Strengthening and Developing the Military" — including the important statement that "all energy must be focused on fighting wars, and all work must be directed toward fighting wars" — to conduct discussion and analysis, and to thoroughly identify the shortcomings and weak points exposed during training. The on-site atmosphere was animated.

"Temporary notifications from the headquarters are frequent, training plans are constantly disrupted, and as a result some subjects have not been trained to the required standard." During the discussion, some officers and soldiers spoke bluntly about problems such as insufficient coordination between the various stages of training.

The voices from the grassroots drew the attention of the detachment Party committee. At a subsequent Party committee meeting, the detachment leadership, drawing on their study of Volume Four of "Xi Jinping on Strengthening and Developing the Military," guided participants to deeply comprehend the scientific connotations, essential spirit, and practical requirements of Xi Jinping's Thought on Strengthening the Military. Focusing on the primary responsibility and core mission of preparing for and fighting wars, they compiled a list of the difficult points and bottlenecks affecting combat capability development and formulated corrective measures for each item.

At the same time, the detachment Party committee, in conjunction with deepening political rectification training (政治整训), strengthened political tempering (政治锻造) and ideological remolding (思想改造) through studying and internalizing the thought, and resolutely rectified phenomena such as bureaucratism and formalism existing within the headquarters. They strengthened conduct education and conduct building to ensure that the force kept its central task at the center and its primary mission as the primary focus.

Words were immediately followed by action; problems were immediately corrected upon identification. The detachment Party committee persisted in turning the blade inward, vigorously rectifying the "five excesses" (五多) problem, requiring the headquarters to streamline documents, communications, and meetings — not demanding written materials when oral reporting would suffice, and not organizing inspections in separate batches when they could be consolidated — so as to genuinely loosen constraints and reduce burdens on the grassroots. Drawing on the characteristics of garrison duty, they scientifically coordinated duty and training time, and rolled out the "small modules, multiple batches, short cycles" (小模块、多批次、短周期) training organization method, improving training quality and effectiveness.

In addition, the detachment established a "Warm-Heart Service Team" (暖心服务小组). For difficulties faced by officers' and soldiers' family members — such as seeking medical care or enrolling children in school — the team designated a responsible person and a resolution deadline for each case, relieving officers and soldiers of concerns about their families so that everyone could devote themselves wholeheartedly to military training and war preparation.

Precisely resolving difficulties adds motivation to military training. Previously, Squad Leader Cui Chenghang of a certain company encountered a legal matter involving his family, which for a time affected his enthusiasm for training. After his company reported the situation, the detachment's "Warm-Heart Service Team" promptly coordinated legal specialists to provide assistance. "The organization resolved my difficulty; I will absolutely give my all to training," he said. In a subsequent emergency mobilization exercise organized by the detachment, an unburdened Cui Chenghang charged to the front and performed outstandingly.

The deeper the study, the more solid the military training. As theoretical study has continued to deepen, the officers and soldiers of the detachment have sustained a rising enthusiasm for mastering military skills, strengthening capabilities, and striving resolutely for victory. In a recent no-notice combat readiness mobilization exercise, officers and soldiers responded swiftly, handled the situation in accordance with standards, coordination between all stages was smooth, and the mission was accomplished successfully.
