A Fundamental Change to How the Military Is Run
Effective and strict implementation of law-based governance underpins the effort to build a strong military, and constitutes the central pillar of the CPC’s strategy for strengthening the armed forces. This requires a fundamental change to the way the military is run, that is, a paradigm shift from reliance on experience and administrative orders to law-based processes, and from ad hoc, stop-gap and improvised measures to a consistent and systematic approach that respects established codes and procedures.
Efforts to this end in recent years have focused on better delegation of responsibilities in the reformed organizations; rollout of lists of duties; legal awareness training; and targeted approaches to the development, management and employment of military forces in accordance with standards and regulations. This is designed to ensure that all Party committees, executive branches, military units and service members act in compliance with established rules.
治军方式根本性转变
依法治军、从严治军是强军之基，是中国共产党建军治军的基本方略。深入推进依法治军、从严治军，要求治军方式发生一场深刻变革，实现从单纯依靠行政命令的做法向依法行政的根本性转变，从单纯靠习惯和经验开展工作的方式向依靠法规和制度开展工作的根本性转变，从突击式、运动式抓工作的方式向按条令条例办事的根本性转变。近年来，中国军队科学设置机构，建立职责清单，强化官兵法治素养，军队建设、管理和作战行动日益标准化、规范化、精细化，全军逐步形成党委依法决策、机关依法指导、部队依法行动、官兵依法履职的良好局面。
