Chapter 297 What Is a Modular Force?
In addition, Jiang Chen also gave them an example, that is, their beheading action in this exercise.If you don't count the time they waited for the opportunity, it took them less than ten hours from mobilization to boarding the plane to performing the mission and returning.And in these ten hours, just relying on these dozen people and two planes, an army was paralyzed.And if the exercise is carried out, their army will definitely be easily eaten by the blue army after losing their headquarters. This is an example of a rapid response mobile force operation.

But some people objected, Jiang Chen and the others only had a dozen people and a plane to help them, so they couldn't be counted as a member of the army.And ask them if they want to reload or support and protect the troops, they can't be transported by plane.Jiang Chen replied with a smile that there are actually many kinds of quick-response mobile units, including light infantry units, armored units, artillery units, and the rapid-reaction mobile units of the Air Force.Including the rapid response of the fighter-bomber transport fleet, and its paratroopers can also be quickly deployed, and the paratroopers can be locked, which is one of the easiest to turn into a rapid response force.There are also naval forces and the Second Artillery Force, etc. This quick-response mobile force is just a concept, not a branch of arms.And according to the different types of quick-response mobile units and the reaction time, their combat missions are different. For example, the infantry unit is deployed to open up positions, because its reaction time is the shortest, and then the armored unit, their The function is to strengthen the position.Then there are some other support and support troops.

Someone asked again, what do you mean by the dismantling of the unit you mentioned earlier.Speaking of such a question, Jiang Chen returned to the previous question and answered.This is actually another suggestion he is going to talk about, which is to establish a modular functional force.If the quick-response force is an international concept proposed and established in the late 80s and early 90s, then the modular force is the subject of research that the US military and even some military powers will focus on after the new millennium.

"Then what is a modular unit?" a general wondered.

Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "This modular unit is a bit like the group army plan that we are about to implement at this time. We used to have a relatively single unit of arms, but with the development of the times, weapons With the advancement of equipment and the diversity of combat ideas and forms, it is impossible for our troops to win modern wars under the formation of single-function troops in the past. Therefore, the group army with mixed arms is the mainstream of future development, and what I said This modular unit is a deepened version of this mixed-army group army."

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Jiang Chen swallowed and continued, "Let's start with the wording. This modularization is actually the result of my development of the BZ82 squad rifle system a few years ago. The concept proposed. Its biggest feature is that the original single rifle is installed with many auxiliary combat accessories with various functions through the guide rail I designed, making it from a single rifle into a set of individual combat systems. And then by Different individual combat systems have been organically combined to become a squad weapon combat system. I have already talked about this squad weapon combat system when I introduced weapons and equipment during the day, so I won’t talk about it. A team weapon combat system, set up a targeted combat platoon, and then form an infantry combat company from several other platoons. Of course, mission companies with different functions can be formed according to different equipment. Then multiple mission companies with different mission functions can be combined. A company is formed into a battalion, a regiment, or a brigade, a division, or even a corps."

"The modular type you mentioned is to organically combine different troops to form a command and combat system, but what is the difference between this and our army group that is a mixed formation of various arms? They are all mixed formations." An old man The general asked seriously while looking at the comparison he had recorded with his glasses on.

Jiang Chen looked at the old general and replied with a smile, "There are differences. I think the biggest difference is standardization."

"Standardization, what does this mean." Someone asked.

Jiang Chen replied: "The so-called standardization means that all the functional units that make up a weapon combat system have the same size and specifications, so that they can be exchanged on the battlefield, or they can be changed according to tasks and goals and other factors. According to the differences, a new weapon combat system will be reorganized."

"You mean to standardize each unit, and then reorganize a targeted new unit according to different tasks." An old general said excitedly.

"Yes, but it's not comprehensive enough." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "The modularization of the standard that I'm talking about is implemented in the army according to local conditions. My idea is to implement standardization before troops with the same function. Before the troops, a complete command system was used to combine modules with different functions to form a new type of troops. For example, the standardization of different combat companies, such benefits can be quickly exchanged and replenished under each battalion. Because Everything is standardized, all this battalion only needs to be commanded according to the previous method, because it is the same as the combat company under this battalion. Another example is other functional units, such as artillery, communications, radar, armor, Then according to the actual situation of the target, the command post will organize it. Let it become a targeted combat force, such as light infantry, heavy armor, combat support, etc. Wait for them to be completed After the mission, split them up, and then return to the station for training, and then organize exercises with different troops on a regular basis to train the ability to cooperate in combat. When needed, organize them according to the needs, and such troops have a very strong survival Even if they are in vain on the battlefield or are broken up, they can be quickly assembled and put into battle again."

"Well, the idea is very bold. I think this can be used as one of the directions of our military's future experiments or reforms. But what should we do? This needs to be studied in depth. In this way, you will combine the two things you mentioned today. It is recommended to write a report or an academic paper and give it to me. I will take it back to the headquarters directly and let them study and discuss it systematically. But whether it can be adopted at that time, I think this will have a profound impact on the future of our army.” The old man After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he answered seriously.

Although he was a little disappointed that his suggestion was not accurately affirmed, of course Jiang Chen could understand.Such a big event, especially one that affects our army's future combat philosophy, must not be decided so sloppily.Of course, Jiang Chen is young after all, no matter how he tries to hide it, he can still be seen by these old people who have lived most of their lives.General Cao Yuntian, who has fought with Lei Zhan for most of his life, said to Lei Zhan with a smile, "Old Lei, I am getting more and more reluctant to part with your precious grandson. Let's be in-laws. I have a granddaughter who is very beautiful. gone."

An old general on the side immediately retorted: "Stop it, don't come out to scare people just like your granddaughter. Xiao Jiang, why don't you consider my granddaughter?"

　After my crazy efforts, I finally caught up and lived up to everyone's support.
