The fundamental task of national defense education

The fundamental task of national defense education is to teach citizens national defense theory, publicize national defense laws and regulations, instill national defense knowledge and train military skills through various forms of education, so that citizens can establish national defense awareness, master national defense theory and knowledge, have certain military skills and consciously fulfill their national defense obligations. The specific educational tasks are as follows.

(1) Popularizing common sense of national defense. Common sense of national defense is the simplest and most basic knowledge in the field of national defense, and it is the knowledge that citizens generally need to master. For example, knowledge about the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, knowledge about frontier defense, coastal defense and air defense, knowledge about national sovereignty and territorial integrity, knowledge about national character and personality, and so on. , are the most basic national defense common sense. Common sense directly guides and restricts people's behavior. With certain common sense, people's behavior and speech are more standardized. Lack of common sense may lead to jokes.

One of the tasks of national defense education is to make all citizens generally understand the common sense of national defense and use it to regulate their speech and behavior related to national defense activities. In this way, when participating in activities related to national defense, citizens can be shown to have certain qualities.

(2) Instill national defense laws and regulations. China's constitution, national defense law, military service law, military facilities protection law, national defense education law and other relevant laws and regulations stipulate citizens' national defense obligations and rights. For example, Article 55 of our Constitution stipulates: "It is the sacred duty of the people of China and every citizen of China to defend the motherland and resist aggression. It is the glorious duty of the people and citizens of China to perform military service in accordance with the law and join militia organizations. " Article 6 of the National Defense Law stipulates: "China citizens shall perform their national defense obligations according to law." Article 50 of the National Defense Law stipulates: "It is the glorious obligation of the people and citizens of China to perform military service and join militia organizations in accordance with the law." It is necessary to educate citizens about their national defense obligations and rights through national defense laws and regulations and consciously fulfill their national defense responsibilities.

(3) to publicize national defense knowledge. The content of national defense knowledge is very rich, including both general national defense knowledge and national defense theory knowledge; There are both historical knowledge and practical knowledge of national defense. We should choose appropriate knowledge according to the receptive ability and actual needs of the educational object. For example, ordinary citizens should understand general knowledge of national defense and national defense history; Leaders, civil servants, officers and soldiers, militia and reserve personnel of the People's Liberation Army and the armed police forces should learn certain national defense theories on the basis of mastering general national defense knowledge; All personnel should receive realistic national defense education according to the situation and tasks.

(4) Cultivate national defense moral feelings. The national defense moral emotion with patriotism as the main content is an important spiritual pillar of national defense. With deep national defense moral feelings, when national security is threatened, citizens can consciously stand up and defend the country at the cost of their lives. Lack of national defense moral feelings, even if the country is rich and the armed forces are strong, its national defense is fragile. Because national defense without the support of citizen patriotism is difficult to resist subversion and aggression from external forces. Cultivating citizens' national defense moral emotion is the primary task of national defense education. It is necessary to influence citizens' ideology through national defense history education, national humiliation education and patriotic case education, so that all citizens can firmly establish national defense moral feelings of loving the motherland.

(5) Training military skills. In order to undertake national defense obligations and cultivate martial spirit, citizens need to receive basic military physical fitness and skills training. The contents include general queue action training, "three defenses" skills, light weapons shooting, self-help and mutual rescue skills, and general military knowledge learning.
