Interpreting the slogan of winning information war

After entering the 2 1 century, the whole world began to experience an unprecedented new military revolution. So, how do we understand the basic connotation of military reform with China characteristics? To sum up, it is to adhere to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, focus on the major changes in the technical and war forms of human society, adapt to the development trend of the new military revolution in the world, base on China's national conditions and military intelligence, build the army by quality, strengthen the army by politics, strengthen the army by science and technology, govern the army by law, and promote mechanization by informationization, so as to gradually build our army into an information-based army with the ability to win information-based wars and better serve national security and the reunification of the motherland.

"Informatization" has become one of the most striking keywords in the white paper "National Defense of China in 2004". In the 30,000-word white paper, the frequency of informatization has reached 4 1 time. The white paper "China's National Defense in 2004" says that the People's Liberation Army of China regards informationization as the development direction and strategic focus of modernization, and actively promotes military reform with China characteristics with informationization as the core, in accordance with the goal of building an information-based army and winning an information-based war. "Information warfare will become the main form of war in the 2 1 century, and our army must take information construction as its main goal." Fu Yansong, a military expert who participated in the writing of the new national defense white paper, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency: "According to the actual situation of our army, the basic content of military informatization construction can be divided into three aspects: command automation, main battle equipment informatization and military daily business informatization."

In the past 20 years, China's military informatization construction has made great achievements: a number of key military information system projects have been organized and implemented, information infrastructure construction has made great progress, command organs at all levels and command means of combat troops have been significantly improved, information technology equipment such as computers have become increasingly popular in the daily operations of the troops, the operational information support capability has been greatly improved, and the informatization content of the main battle weapon system has been continuously improved. In many military camps in China today, the traditional combat command mode of clip circulation is gradually being replaced by field command automation system; Turning on the mobile phone before going to work and surfing the Internet at work have become the working methods of most military cadres. Learning and entertainment on the local area network has become the main activity mode of many soldiers after training. In the usual training and drills, computer information collection and transmission, automatic target searching of artillery, and strong electronic interference from both sides have all become essential subjects of China Army. Whether it is the training of the head office, the tactical and technical training of the detachment, the training of individual cyclists and confrontation drills, it is necessary to increase the content of information training. In the new century and new stage, the China People's Liberation Army is committed to comprehensively promoting the informatization construction of the army, with the construction of the army information system and the informatization main battle weapon system as the main body and the informatization infrastructure construction as the support and guarantee. In the information construction, we should adhere to the standard of combat effectiveness and the direction of integrated development. The People's Liberation Army regards informationization as the development direction of modernization and gradually realizes the transformation from mechanization and semi-mechanization to informationization. Based on the national conditions and military situation, we should adhere to mechanization as the foundation, informationization as the leading factor, informationization as the driving force and mechanization as the promotion.

As for the informatization construction with China characteristics, experts believe that the task of our army's mechanization construction has not been completed, and it is facing severe challenges of informatization. Our army must integrate informationization and mechanization, advance simultaneously, and take a development path that not only meets the requirements of new military changes, but also has our own characteristics, so as to have confidence in winning the future information war.
