        <description>This is the most recent release of this seminal work. Translated to English language. Rather than offer this as an Audiobook, I am releasing the entire book as 25 podcasts. Personally, I am not a big fan of subscriptions, so they are available for FREE. I appreciate everyone&#039;s support, so if you like my work, please purchase a copy of the print book on Amazon.com and leave a positive review. If you know of an important book (that is in the public domain) and you would like me to release an audiobook of that title, drop me a line at my web site, USGOVPUB.COM.</description>

<p>Reserve forces refer to forces that make necessary preparations in peacetime and can directly participate in<br />and support wars after being mobilized in wartime. They mainly include reserve forces, militias, pre-<br />commissioned forces and other personnel registered for reserve service. The building of reserve forces is an<br />important part of national defense construction, and is a basic and strategic project to consolidate national<br />defense. At present, our country is in a critical period of the new journey of comprehensively building<br />socialist modernization. The modernization of national defense and the armed forces has entered a new<br />stage of development, and higher requirements have been placed on the quality and effectiveness of the<br />reserve forces. Further strengthening the building of reserve forces is of great significance for<br />comprehensively preparing for military conflicts, enhancing the overall power of national defense, effectively<br />responding to multiple security threats, and ensuring the country's long-term stability, prosperity and<br />development.</p>
<p><strong>Section One: Reserve Force Construction and Development Trend</strong><br />There have been changes in [China’s] security situation and the pattern of warfare. While making strategic<br />adjustments and advancing military transformations, countries around the world have also adjusted the<br />guidelines and principles of reserve force construction accordingly. They generally pursue appropriate scale,<br />reasonable structure, well-equipped, and well-trained, capable of responding to calls at any time and quickly.<br />Responding to and completing a variety of tasks at home and abroad has made the construction of<br />contemporary reserve forces present a new development trend.</p>

<p>The Chinese People’s Armed Police Force is abbreviated as the Armed Police Force. It is an important part<br />of the national armed forces. It shoulders major responsibilities in maintaining national security and social<br />stability and defending the people’s good lives. It has an important role in maintaining political security,<br />especially regime security, and institutional security. The armed police force is under the centralized and<br />unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. Under the conditions<br />of the new era, the construction and development of the Armed Police Force will fully implement Xi Jinping’s<br />thinking on strengthening the military, accelerate the integration of the entire military’s joint operations<br />system, accelerate the establishment of a new pattern of military-local coordination and linkage, and strive to<br />build a powerful modern armed police force.</p>
<p><strong>Section One: The Construction and Development Trend of the Armed Police Force</strong><br />Entering the new era, in accordance with the strategic requirements of “multi-functional integration, stability<br />and rights maintenance,” the armed police force has vigorously strengthened security on duty, handling<br />emergencies and maintaining stability, counter-terrorism operations, air support, maritime rights protection<br />and administrative law enforcement, emergency rescue, and defense operations capabilities. The force on<br />duty, mobile force, special warfare, air force, and maritime force are the mainstays, supplemented by<br />intelligence reconnaissance, information interconnection, unmanned operations, network and power<br />confrontation and other forces, and the modern armed police force supported by the network information<br />system is constantly improving the core capabilities of maintaining stability and rights.</p>
<p>The paperback book is available on Amazon.com. If you would like a CD of all Chapters, drop me a message at USGOVPUB.COM.</p>

<p>Joint logistics support force construction is an important component of military force building, and improving<br />the joint logistics support capability is an inevitable requirement for winning the war. In the context of the<br />continuous development of the world's new military revolution and the continuous evolution of war patterns,<br />strengthening the construction and development of joint logistics support forces is a common issue faced by<br />the armed forces of all countries in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Section One: Joint Logistics Support Force Construction and Development Trend</strong></p>
<p>For the joint logistics support of the armed forces of the world's major countries, different joint logistics<br />systems such as headquarters joint logistics, military joint logistics, and regional joint logistics have been<br />adopted, and different forms of joint logistics support agencies and support troops have been formed. For<br />example, the U.S. military adopts a support system that combines headquarters joint logistics and service<br />joint logistics. In peacetime, various support agencies under the Ministry of National Defense implement joint<br />logistics support. In wartime, a certain service is used to organize joint logistics support in a war zone. From<br />a long-term perspective, joint logistics support is a common trend of military support in various countries,<br />which is mainly manifested in the following aspects.</p>

<p>Cyberspace has become a new space for military conflict, and cyberspace power, as a new combat force<br />that adapts to the transformation of war patterns, has become an important part of the country's military<br />power. Cyberspace power construction includes the construction and development of cyber warfare forces,<br />command systems, means and resources, military strategy theory, institutional mechanisms, and related<br />laws.</p>
<p><strong>Section One: Cyberspace Power Construction and Development Trend</strong><br />From the perspective of the development trend of the military of various countries, as a new type of military<br />force, the construction of cyberspace power has become a priority area of military competition. Under the<br />principles of demand-driven, technologically promoted, offensive and defensive, people-oriented,<br />coordinated development, and focus on efficiency, it shows a development trend that is closely related to the<br />development of traditional space power and has unique characteristics.</p>
<p><strong>1. Towards a critical combat force</strong><br />The development of cyberspace power has gone through three stages. The first stage is to provide<br />information support for traditional operations. The main business is to use cyberspace, and the core is to<br />operate and maintain the C4ISRK system to maintain uninterrupted, high-efficiency and high-quality network<br />information interaction. During this period, the various U.S. military services established computer<br />emergency response centers, which became the prototype of cyberspace forces. The second stage is to<br />deal with the general confrontation of cybercrime and hacker attacks. During this period, the construction of<br />networked military in major countries in the world has become common practice.</p>

<p>The construction of military aerospace forces began in the early stages of the Cold War, and developed<br />rapidly in the middle and late stages of the Cold War. After the end of the Cold War, military space forces<br />played an important role in local wars. At present, the world's military and aerospace forces have entered a<br />new round of accelerated development. The relevant countries continue to increase their investment in the<br />military and aerospace fields and accelerate the pace of military and aerospace capabilities. The competition<br />in the military and aerospace fields is becoming increasingly fierce. In future information warfare, the<br />battlefield is likely to unfold in the air and space first. Military and aerospace powers rely on space<br />superiority to obtain global mobility, global situational awareness, global offense and defense, and multi-<br />dimensional space control capabilities, which will greatly affect and restrict traditional military activities.<br />Space will become an increasingly important battlefield, and military aerospace forces will become a pivotal<br />strategic force.</p>

The construction of military aerospace forces began in the early stages of the Cold War, and developedrapidly in the middle and late stages of the Cold War. After the end of the Cold War, military space forcesplayed an important role in local wars. At present, the world's military and aerospace forces have entered anew round of accelerated development. The relevant countries continue to increase their investment in themilitary and aerospace fields and accelerate the pace of military and aerospace capabilities. The competitionin the military and aerospace fields is becoming increasingly fierce. In future information warfare, thebattlefield is likely to unfold in the air and space first. Military and aerospace powers rely on spacesuperiority to obtain global mobility, global situational awareness, global offense and defense, and multi-dimensional space control capabilities, which will greatly affect and restrict traditional military activities.Space will become an increasingly important battlefield, and military aerospace forces will become a pivotalstrategic force.
Section One: Military Space Force Construction and Development TrendMilitary aerospace activities have developed along with human exploration of space, following the generallaws of national defense and army building and military conflict, from simple to complex, from low toadvanced, and evolving to a high-level and high-stage that adapts to the situation, tasks and environmentalchanges.

<p>The Rocket Force is a strategic service that uses ground-launched missile weapon systems to perform<br />combat missions. It has multiple combat capabilities such as strategic nuclear counterattack and medium-<br />and long-range conventional precision strikes. It is the core force of China's strategic deterrence and the<br />strategic support of China's status as a major power. An important cornerstone for maintaining national<br />security. In the historical process of safeguarding national sovereignty and security, and realizing the great<br />rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it has always played a crucial role. Under the conditions of the new era,<br />the construction and development of the rocket force faces both opportunities and challenges. It must adapt<br />to the development of the world's strategic situation and the needs of national security strategies, and in<br />accordance with the strategic requirements of both nuclear and conventional and global deterrence,<br />accelerate the promotion of informatization transformation and rely on science and technology. Progress<br />promotes independent innovation of weapons and equipment, enhances the safety, reliability, and<br />effectiveness of missile weapons, improves the nuclear and permanent force system, and strives to build a<br />modern rocket force that is commensurate with China's status as a major country and commensurate with<br />the mission and mission requirements of the military in the new era.</p>

<p>Section 1 Naval Construction and Development Trend<br />Section 2 Naval Capability Requirements Under New Era Conditions<br />Section 3 Main Measures for Naval Construction and Development</p>
<p>The navy is an important part of the country's armed forces and has a very important position in the overall<br />situation of national security and development. After more than 70 years of development, the Navy has<br />grown from nothing, from small to large, from weak to strong, and from near seas to far seas. The<br />international military has become a modern maritime combat force that can effectively defend national<br />sovereignty, security, and development interests, and effectively complete diversified military tasks. Under<br />the conditions of the new era, the strategic environment and main tasks faced by the navy have undergone<br />major changes. How to build a powerful navy commensurate with the country’s status and fulfilling its<br />missions has become a major strategic issue that needs to be resolved urgently. Xi Jinping emphatically<br />pointed out: "On the journey of the new era, in the struggle to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese<br />nation, the task of building a powerful People’s Navy has never been so urgent as it is today." The<br />strategic capabilities of the navy under the conditions of informatization and intelligence will accelerate the<br />modernization of the navy.</p>

<p>Section 1 Basic Law of Military Power Construction and Development <br />Section 2 Military Force Construction and Development under New Era Conditions <br />Section 3 Building a New Military Power System</p>
<p>Military power is the collective name of various powers possessed by a country or political group in the<br />military field, including military power and military potential, referred to as military power. Military power is<br />the existing military power of a country or political group. China's military forces mainly include the active<br />and reserve forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the armed police forces and the militia, as well<br />as military-related comprehensive forces in political, economic, technological, and cultural aspects. Military<br />potential is the potential power that can be used for military purposes by a country or political group through<br />mobilization. Generally, it refers to the human, material, financial, scientific and technological innovation<br />power and information power that can be mobilized for military purposes. Military force construction and<br />development, including the army, navy, air force, rocket force, strategic support force, joint logistics support<br />force, armed police force and reserve force, must be scientifically coordinated, strengthened management,<br />coordinated development, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of revolutionization,<br />modernization, and regularization.</p>
<p><strong>Section One: Basic Laws of Military Force Construction and Development</strong></p>
<p>The construction and development of military power have inherent and essential connections and inevitable<br />trends, and these connections and trends determine the direction, process and outcome of the development<br />of the contradictory movement of military power. Understanding and mastering the basic laws of military<br />force building and development is the basic requirement for actively guiding national defense and army<br />building and strengthening preparations for military conflict.</p>

<p>Section 1 The Strategic Significance of the Overseas use of Military Power<br />Section 2 The Main Features of the Overseas Use of Military Power <br />Section 3 The Strategic Guidance for the Overseas Use of Military Power</p>
<p>The overseas use of military power generally includes both non-war military operations and war operations.<br />China implements a peaceful foreign policy and a defensive national defense policy. It has always<br />advocated the settlement of disputes between countries through peaceful means and opposed the frequent<br />use of force. Therefore, the overseas use of our military power is mainly non-war use. The basic operation<br />patterns include: international peacekeeping, international rescue, maritime escort, overseas evacuation,<br />international joint military exercises and joint training, naval and air strategic cruises, open sea training,<br />military assistance, warship visits, international counter-terrorism, etc. Today's world is facing<br />unprecedented changes. Our country is developing rapidly from large to strong, and overseas interests are<br />expanding. The military must resolutely fulfill the mission and tasks of the new era, and further strengthen<br />the planning and guidance of the overseas use of military forces, and contribute to safeguarding the<br />country's overseas interests and promoting regional stability and the maintenance of world peace.</p>

<p>Section 1 Main styles of Non-war Military Operations <br />Section 2 Basic Characteristics of Non-war Military Operations <br />Section 3 Strategic Guidance for Non-war Military Operations </p>
<p>Non-war military operations refer to non-war military operations carried out by a country or political group to<br />achieve a certain political goal, using military force, using non-violent or limited violent means. Under the<br />conditions of the new era, with the expansion of national interests and the rise of non-traditional security<br />threats, the role of non-war military operations has become increasingly prominent, and has become an<br />important method of national military force use and an effective means to maintain national security and<br />development.</p>
<p>Performing non-war military missions is an inevitable requirement for the military to perform its duties and<br />missions and an important way to enhance its combat capabilities. Its status is prominent in the following<br />aspects: first, it can play an important role in maintaining national stability. Natural disasters and public<br />health incidents are increasing and destructive. Various emergencies occur frequently and have great<br />psychological shock. The threat of terrorism is serious and political influence is great, which will have a<br />serious impact on economic construction and even social stability. Non-war military operations such as<br />counter-terrorism operations, stability maintenance operations, rescue and disaster relief, and security and<br />vigilance can ensure rapid response, control the situation, reduce losses, and restore stability. Second, it<br />can play a unique role in deterring war. The mediation and monitoring of hostile parties in international<br />peacekeeping operations can avoid or reduce the possibility of conflicts and wars. Border containment<br />operations can effectively control the border situation, prevent escalation, reduce conflicts, and avoid wars.<br />The third is to deepen international security cooperation. Non-war military operations such as international<br />rescue and escort are all of a military cooperation nature, which plays an important role in establishing an<br />international image, increasing mutual trust, and strengthening friendly relations with relevant countries.<br />Therefore, non-war military operations are an important means of national diplomacy and an effective tool<br />for strengthening international cooperation.</p>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>PART 1</p>
<p>To strengthen the country and the army, strategy is first. To study and research strategy, we must first clarify<br />the basic concepts, study the basic theories, and master the basic principles. This Part is the basic theory of<br />strategy, which aims to reveal the basic connotation, basic principles, and operating laws of strategy. On the<br />basis of explaining the basic issues of strategy, the five links of strategic operation are discussed in detail,<br />namely, strategic judgment, strategic decision-making, strategic planning, strategic implementation, and<br />strategic evaluation. Among them, making correct strategic judgments on the security situation facing the<br />country is the starting point for strategic operations. On the basis of strategic analysis and judgment,<br />strategic directors make strategic decisions, identify threats, distinguish between enemies and friends, clarify<br />goals and tasks, and make strategic deployments. In order to implement the various contents of the strategic<br />decision, it is necessary to formulate a strategic plan, and then pay for the implementation of the strategy,<br />and implement the content of the strategic decision and plan into all links and stages of military conflict and<br />army building. Finally, there is an evaluation of the strategic operation process. This is the complete process<br />and basic principle of strategic operation. By revealing this basic principle, this part provides theoretical<br />support for the strategic guidance on the use and construction of military forces in later chapters.</p>
