Will the armed forces grant third-class merit?

Is there a reward for winning the third class?

Let's talk about meritorious service awards for active servicemen:

According to the provisions of Article 15, Section 2, Chapter 2 of the Military Discipline Regulations:

Individuals who have won class III, class II and class I shall be awarded class III, class II, class I and medals respectively. Individuals who have won the honorary title award may be awarded the second-class hero model medal with the approval of the military sub-division and other units at the same level; Approved by Zhongyang Wei Jun, he was awarded the first-class hero model medal. Issue certificates to the units that have won the third prize, the second prize and the first prize; Awarded the award flag to the unit that won the honorary title award.

According to the provisions of Article 16, Section 2, Chapter 2 of the Military Discipline Regulations:

Conscripts who have won third-class merit or above may be promoted in advance; Non-commissioned officers who have won the second-class merit or the third-class merit for three times may increase their salary grades at the rank level; Officers and civilian cadres who have won the second-class merit award or the third-class merit award may increase their post (professional and technical level) salary grades; Officers who have won first-class merit or above may be promoted to their posts in advance or their post salary levels (professional and technical levels); For civilian cadres who have won the first class or above, they can be promoted to the level of civilian cadres in advance or increase their post salary level (professional and technical level).

Promotion applies to private officers and officers below colonel (not exceeding the highest establishment rank of their job level); Promotion of civilian cadres, applicable to civilian cadres below level 4 (not exceeding the highest level specified in their job grades); Raising the rank salary scale is applicable to non-commissioned officers at all levels below the highest salary scale of their own ranks; The increased post (professional and technical level) salary scale is applicable to officers and civilian cadres at all levels below the highest level. Promotion in advance, promotion to the rank of civilian cadres, and salary increase are usually just one rank, one rank, and one file.

In addition, from the perspective of the whole country, most areas have cash rewards for military meritorious service, and the reward standards are formulated by local governments. There is no uniform standard in the country, which is issued by local civil affairs departments. Under normal circumstances, the army will not directly send meritorious service (awards) to the families of soldiers, but mostly send them to the armed forces department of the district (county, city) where the soldiers registered before joining the army, and then inform the families to collect them, and then the families will register with the local civil affairs department to receive the bonus.

Second, then the soldier won the third class merit, and his salary will increase by 5% after he retired to the local area?

According to the "Interim Provisions on Retirement of Military Cadres" document:

Won the title of hero model awarded by units above the corps level, won the first class merit, special merit or considerable reward, and the retirement salary will be increased by15%; For those who have won the second class merit, made great achievements or won considerable rewards, the retirement salary will be increased by15%; Those who have won third-class merit or considerable rewards will receive a 5% increase in retirement wages. The other is in the Regulations on the Resettlement of Retired Soldiers

The document clearly stipulates that retired soldiers who have won honorary titles or rendered meritorious service will be given a one-time retirement pension by the army according to the following proportions:

Won the honorary title of the Central Military Commission, military units, or won the first class, additional15%; Won the second class, additional10%; Won the third class, additional 5%.

Retired soldiers who have won honorary titles or rendered meritorious service for many times shall be given a one-time retirement pension by the army according to the proportion of the highest grade award.

To sum up, you need to retire in the military system and be a cadre to enjoy a 5% increase in retirement salary. At present, there are no such regulations for demobilized soldiers and retired soldiers.
