The key to building a strong military is talent, and the foundation is education. Our party and army have always attached great importance to running schools and educating people. One of the most important reasons why the people's army has been able to continue to grow and complete the tasks entrusted to it by the Party in various historical periods is that it has always adhered to the principle of "governing the military first, and strengthening the military will strengthen the school". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President Xi Jinping and the Central Military Commission have attached great importance to the reform and development of military education, vigorously implemented the strategy of strengthening the military with talents and the strategy of giving priority to the development of institutions, reshaped the educational pattern of military institutions in the new era, built a new trinity military talent training system, and pushed military education into a new era and onto a new journey. As an important part of the whole military medical service force system, the Army Military Medical University, since its adjustment and establishment in 2017, has adhered to the military name, inherited glorious history, promoted innovative development, excellently completed a series of major tasks, made its school running characteristics more distinctive, and continuously improved its overall construction level and talent training quality.
It is an important part of the military education policy in the new era to adhere to the principle of building morality and cultivating people for war, which reflects the military dialectics thought of the unity of politics and military affairs, and highlights the regular requirements for educating people to build the military politically and to be able to fight and win battles. Adhering to the principle of building morality and cultivating people is to run ideological and political education through the whole process of educating people, ensure that the gun is always in the hands of loyal and reliable people, and ensure that the cause of the Party and the military has successors. Insisting on educating people for war is to teach what is needed in war, and train what is needed in the army, so as to ensure that the trained talents can win modern wars.
Colleges and universities are linked to the battlefield, and education is about winning. As an important part of the trinity new military personnel training system, military academy education plays a fundamental, leading and overall role. In today's world, turmoil is intertwined, changes in the past century have accelerated, international political disputes and military conflicts have broken out in many places, China's security situation is more unstable and uncertain, the task of safeguarding national security is more arduous and arduous, and the desire for new military personnel is more urgent. Only by facing the battlefield, the army and the future, and further establishing the clear guidance of cultivating people for war, can we cultivate a large number of high-quality professional new military talents who can take on the important task of building a strong military, and achieve the precise connection between the supply side of talent training and the demand side of the future battlefield.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that we should deepen the reform of military academies, strengthen the training system of new military talents, and innovate military human resource management. All military colleges and universities should conscientiously study and implement the spirit of President Xi Jinping's important speech, thoroughly implement Xi Jinping's thought of building a strong military, comprehensively implement the military education policy for the new era, adhere to building morality and educating people for war, deepen education and teaching reform, and constantly open up new prospects for military education and talent cultivation in the new era. It is necessary to properly position the school, closely match the needs of national defense and military construction, consolidate traditional advantages, seize the forefront of development, and better serve the combat effectiveness of the military. We should implement the requirements of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, strengthen the armed forces of the Party's innovative theory, do a good job in learning and educating the Party discipline, deepen the educational practice of "learning the idea of building a strong military and making contributions to the cause of building a strong military", and deepen the discussion of "the concept of struggle for a new era". We should strictly manage schools in accordance with the law and with strict discipline, strictly enforce education management, do a good job in laying the foundation at the grass-roots level, and strive to provide strong talent support for achieving the centennial goal of building the army on schedule and accelerating the building of the people's army into a world-class army.
