"The drainage pipe network on the western side of the garrison area has been leaking, affecting not only the daily movement of officers and soldiers but also constraining the detachment's training quality and effectiveness—yet it dragged on for so long before being resolved. This kind of thing must never happen again!" Not long ago, at a two-way review meeting (机关基层双向讲评会) between headquarters and grassroots units of the People's Armed Police Tibet General Corps Shannan Detachment, these words from detachment leadership left the headquarters cadres in attendance deeply moved.
It is understood that the drainage pipe network in the detachment's garrison area was laid many years ago and, affected by the plateau's high-altitude and extreme-cold environment, has suffered severe aging and corrosion. However, because the drainage infrastructure involves multiple military and civilian units, coordinating inspection and renovation work has been highly difficult. The drainage network had experienced leakage problems on multiple occasions previously, and after the relevant departments organized investigations, the problem was shelved on the grounds that it involved a wide range of parties and was difficult to coordinate.
Some time ago, the detachment organized combat-readiness rapid-deployment training (战备拉动训练), and leakage from the drainage pipe network caused the road surface to become slippery, affecting the deployment efficiency of a certain company. On the future battlefield, every second counts; what appeared to be a minor pipe network hazard had become a chokepoint and bottleneck constraining the improvement of the unit's rapid-response capability. This situation put the detachment Party committee on alert.
"A longstanding historical problem that has gone unresolved for so long—on the surface it looks like some headquarters cadres are afraid of trouble and unwilling to take responsibility, but the most fundamental cause is a deviation in their outlook on political achievement (政绩观)!" At the Party committee meeting, detachment leadership pointed directly to the "root of the illness." Combining this with the study and education campaign on establishing and practicing a correct outlook on political achievement (树立和践行正确政绩观), they organized headquarters cadres to conduct analysis and reflection on such phenomena as "lacking initiative in day-to-day work and failing to step up when issues arise" and "dodging complex work whenever possible and dragging out difficult problems for as long as possible."
The unit's training and duty tasks are heavy, yet a small number of cadres remain inactive, slow to act, unwilling to take responsibility, and failing to fulfill their duties. Some are content with the status quo and make no effort to advance, unwilling to put in the work to study new situations and explore new methods; some lack the genuine capability to tackle hard problems and are at a loss when faced with complex difficulties… As the analysis and reflection deepened, detachment leadership and headquarters cadres identified the crux of the problems and applied targeted measures one by one.
They regularly organize experience-sharing sessions on breaking through difficult problems, inviting experienced cadres and backbone personnel to share their insights, and through case-based instruction, on-site observation, and interactive discussion, enhance grassroots cadres' ability to identify and resolve problems. They routinely organize on-site working sessions (现场办公), with members of the detachment Party committee standing committee and headquarters cadres going down to the front line to sort out problems in areas such as grassroots combat training and preparation and logistical support, and to coordinate timely solutions. They have implemented a first-contact, first-handling accountability system (首接首办负责制), clearly specifying who receives and handles each matter and who bears responsibility, ensuring full-process tracking and follow-through to completion.
Identifying problems is one's basic duty; facing problems head-on is the exercise of responsibility; resolving problems is the measure of real achievement. In response to the difficult problem of the damaged drainage pipe network in the garrison area, the detachment's logistics support section chief took the lead in coordinating relevant military and civilian units to conduct on-site surveys and scientific planning, and the pipe network renovation was completed quickly, thoroughly resolving the leakage problem.
Face difficulties head-on with the courage to take responsibility; act proactively and seek concrete results. It is understood that since the study and education campaign on establishing and practicing a correct outlook on political achievement was launched, headquarters cadres of the detachment have acted proactively and worked energetically to resolve difficulties, bringing to completion multiple urgent and difficult matters at the grassroots level. Officers and soldiers remarked with feeling: "Now headquarters cadres handle matters with swift and decisive action (雷厉风行). Grassroots difficulties have people managing them, are pushed forward quickly, and are handled well—our drive for combat training and preparation is even stronger!"
