The new military revolution in the world centered on informatization has spawned a revolution in military management. The modern logistics management model with intensive focus and precise matrix is the goal of the military logistics development of all countries in the world. The General Logistics Department made a decision and deployed. Based on the establishment of a military support card pilot in the support zone of a branch of the Joint Logistics Department of the Beijing Military Region, this year the pilot program will be expanded to the entire theater of troops.
The comprehensive introduction of military support cards in the Beijing theater marks the opening of a new era of digital information management for military camps. It will take a leap forward in logistical support and management methods.
One person, one card, card guarantee, and card management, please see the survey of reporters from the Beijing Theater——
At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, another important reform in the logistics field of our army-the pilot of the “Military Guarantee Card” has taken a new step. In mid-February, the intensive and busy three-month “soldier support card” expansion test task has been fully carried out in Beijing Military Region agencies and units directly under the military region, directly supplied by the military region, headquarters and units with data collection tasks (independent battalions) and above. . The relevant data and information of all officers, soldiers, employees, and other guaranteed individuals have begun to be collected and summarized.
This is the first time that our military has conducted an all-round digital “massing” of multi-services and arms in the Beijing Theater, including all staff, and the entire process of linkage. It is an accurate determination of the guarantee data of all insured personnel and is a trial implementation. The new management mode of “one person, one card, card guarantee, and card management” has laid the necessary and accurate basis.
The reporter learned from the Office of the Leading Group for the Expansion of Military Guarantee Cards in the Beijing Theater of Operation that the “Military Guarantee Cards” will soon be issued to every officer and soldier in the Beijing Theater of Operation. At that time, as long as one card is in hand, officers and soldiers can rely on this whether they are going to the hospital to see a doctor, or changing the relationship between units, whether it is to receive quilts, or to shop around the country, including dining in the military camp, refueling, etc. “Guarantee Card” is universal.
The expansion of the guarantee card test starts a new change in logistics management——
A special telegram of extraordinary significance
At the beginning of this year, a telegram caused quite a stir in the military camps in North China.
On the morning of January 8, the navy, air force, second artillery logistics department, and military academies stationed in the Beijing theater, including some independent battalions and above units under the four headquarters, received a special fax telegram requesting them to send people to participate in the “Military Support Card Expansion Test and Data Collection Training Task Deployment Meeting”, signed as “Beijing Theater Serviceman Support Card Expansion Leading Group”.
“What new organization is this?” Everyone was puzzled. The meeting was held at the independent battalion and above units participating in the expansion test in the theater, involving thousands of units and nearly 10,000 personnel. The main venue was at the Joint Logistics Department of the Beijing Military Region.
Some representatives of the naval and air forces who participated in the meeting told reporters that they felt very fresh when they received the telegram at the time. This was never before: in a task, the military area commanded the three armies in the theater.
The staff of the Beijing Theater Servicemen’s Support Card Expansion and Test Leading Group never dreamed that the work they were led would affect the interests of the officers and soldiers of the three services throughout the theater, and was associated with the special mission of the modernization and reform of our army’s logistics management.
From the headquarters determining the task of reforming the “Military Support Card” for a certain branch of the Beijing Military Region, to the official notification from the headquarters at the end of last year by the Beijing Theater Military Support Card Expansion Leading Group, to the sending of the extraordinary fax telegram on January 8 this year, A wide-ranging and far-reaching change began.
It only took 10 days for the Beijing theater to drive the “fast train” of the expansion of the military support card. On the morning of January 18th, against the biting cold wind, the reporter participated in the “Third Training Course for Data Acquisition of Military Security Card Expansion Test” organized at the foot of Xishan Mountain in Beijing: hundreds of networked computers, hundreds of people operating on the same machine, Learning about the application of new software, the efficient and fast scene is exciting.
“Military Guarantee Card”, the era of changing our military’s traditional guarantee model is coming quickly.
The “ice-breaking” journey from medical card to guarantee card——
A hard exploration that lasted 8 years
In fact, we have already unconsciously greeted the arrival of a “card” era. Salary card, meal card, gas card, medical card, bank card… Almost everyone has several cards.
At the beginning of 2001, the pilot work of our army’s “serviceman guarantee card” took a historic first step. The General Logistics Department will assign the important task of “breaking the ice” to a branch of the Joint Logistics Department of the Beijing Military Region in Tianjin. More than 10,000 officers, soldiers, retirees, family members, and employees of branch offices, hospitals, warehouses, and joint and direct supply of services and arms have become the first batch of “crab-eating” people.
At that time, although the militaries of several developed countries in Europe and the United States had begun to try card-based guarantees, they were all just getting started. After receiving the task, how to build, how to use, how to manage, there is no ready-made experience to learn from, everything needs to be started from scratch, and the branch leaders feel that the responsibility is heavy. Their investigation of the status quo of military supply and support shows that the traditional military supply and support model has been difficult to adapt to the requirements of modern logistics management.
The basis for supply assurance is not uniform. The current statistics on the strength of the logistics supply of officers and soldiers, wages and benefits, rations, clothing, medical treatment, etc., are managed by different departments, each forming a system. When they checked the logistics strength of a supply unit, they found that its financial, military, and health departments had their own set of data and supply systems, which were inconsistent with the statistical strength of the logistics command department, and they couldn’t tell.
The efficiency of supply assurance is low. The logistic supply of military personnel is basically still manual report statistics. Even if some units use computer entry, they mostly operate on a stand-alone machine and do not work on a network. The efficiency is hovering at a low level.
The phenomenon of oversupply and leakage exists. In terms of clothing, distribution, and supplies, due to the low accuracy of the data, there are problems of oversupply and omission to varying degrees.
The military support card is to solve the problem of logistics support. Under the guidance of relevant higher-level departments, they have established “based on IC card technology, computer technology, and information network technology, relying on the military command automation network, and aiming at managing by card and supplying by card to achieve fine management, The blueprint for the reform of “precise guarantee”.
Immediately, data center construction, network connectivity and information collection, software development and other work began in full swing.
On January 1, 2002, the branch military security card office was formally established. Based on the software system that was beginning to take shape, the first business application function was developed: medical treatment with a card. On May 1st of the same year, the first batch of “Military Guarantee Cards” of our army was issued to the insured persons. All officers and soldiers should go to the hospital for registration, treatment, examination, medication, stay (discharge), and settlement. It means that the medical insurance of the branch is officially on the track of informatization.
In the difficult groping, the “soldier guarantee card” matured step by step.
At the end of 2002, the function of supplying by card was realized, and the guarantee card system can automatically generate and download the installed strength in real time, so that the budget, planning, ordering and distribution of the installed supply have entered a new realm of efficiency and accuracy.
In June 2003, the real-time statistics function of logistics supply strength was realized. Relying on the system, the statistics, query and download of professional strengths such as salary, health service, barracks, etc. can be provided to provide basis for professional security and personnel information sharing, and support between different professions. Conduct a joint review of strengths.
In May 2004, the function of electronic transfer of logistics supply relations was realized. The transfer of logistics supply relations changed from past paper vouchers to electronic vouchers, from manual records to automatic transfers, ensuring efficient and seamless links of information.
At the same time, under the guidance of the General Logistics Department and the military region, the branch successively issued the “Regulations on the Management of Military Guarantee Cards” and the “Detailed Rules for the Application of Military Guarantee Cards”, and the management and operation of the guarantee card system has entered a standardized track.
After years of exploration, the “Military Guarantee Card” basically has multiple functions such as supplying identity authentication, logistical supply strength statistics, as well as supplying equipment according to the card, managing housing files, holding the card for medical treatment, and transferring supply relationships. The officers and soldiers of the troops participating in the pilot were delighted to find that the card in their hands has truly become a “all-in-one card” for logistics supply guarantee.
The first batch of assistants from the logistics department of a certain air force missile regiment to participate in the pilot calculated an account for the reporter: Take the electronic transfer function of the logistics supply relationship as an example, the previous personnel transfer, each person’s various supply relationships add up to 8 tables. , To get the receiving unit, but also to manually enter each department, which is not only slow, but also prone to errors. Now, you only need to insert the card in the system of calling out the unit’s guarantee card, and all the personal supply information can be written in a few seconds, and then when the card is transferred into the unit, the information is directly read into the computer, which is fast and accurate.
Branch leaders and agencies have also tasted the benefits of real-time, accurate, and high-efficiency guarantee cards. One card, comprehensive integration of unit, individual and professional guarantee information, has changed the number of people in the past to one source, and changed the protection of each professional to the protection of the same platform of multiple majors, which fundamentally solves the problem of ambiguity in supply guarantee. Inaccurate heads, rough outlines and other issues.
In December 2004, the pilot “Military Guarantee Card” passed the acceptance of the Informatization Construction Project Evaluation Group of the General Logistics Department. Experts believe that the application of the guarantee card has obvious effects, conforms to the development trend of logistics informatization and joint logistics, and is a directional, overall, and fundamental reform and innovation achievement.UnionPay joins the guarantee card that awakens the “sleeping”-a groundbreaking military-civilian cooperation project
The “Military Guarantee Card” was well received when it first showed its edge. However, after the security card was tried out for a period of time, Wang Qingming, director of the branch serviceman’s security card office, discovered: Everywhere, someone came to the door and asked for a new card to be reissued.
Why is this? After investigation, the agency found the reason for the loss of the card: the cardholder only needs the security card when receiving clothing, transferring supply relationships, and seeking medical treatment. But not everyone goes to see a doctor every day and transfers the relationship, the frequency of use of the guarantee card is not high, usually put it at hand, and over time, it will not be found.
To wake up the protection card that “sleeps” most of the time, it is necessary to enrich the functions of the protection card as soon as possible, so that the cardholder can use it easily anytime and anywhere. A card that is always “forgotten”, the vitality must last forever.
On October 1, 2005, a new generation of “Military Guarantee Card” was further upgraded and reissued to every officer and soldier. This card not only embeds a radio frequency chip, but also enables card-holding dining, military service agency shopping, and books. Internal consumption functions such as borrowing and reading are also connected with the bank network system, so that the guarantee card has various business functions of the bank network point.
Speaking of this, Wang Qingming has been excited so far. At that time, they put forward the idea of letting the guarantee card out of the barracks, which caused a lot of controversy. Some people are worried that there is a lot of confidential information integrated on the “Military Guarantee Card”. If it is connected to the local network system, there will be a risk of leaking the secrets.
While everyone is arguing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Tianjin Branch, which has been happily cooperating with the branch for many years, took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to cooperate with the branch to open the first joint military and civilian “guarantee card” in the whole army and even the country. The above dispelled the suspicion of leaks: the bank magnetic stripe was affixed to the guarantee card, and the confidential information “does its own way”. In order to show sincerity, the bank is willing to bear the capital investment required for the issuance of new cards.
Their ideas attracted the attention of the headquarters and the People’s Bank of China. Under the coordination of the General Logistics Department, the Science and Technology Department of the People’s Bank of China, China UnionPay, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the branch held a 4-party joint meeting, paving the way for this “marriage”. Wen Sili, then deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the People’s Bank of China, said: “This is a great thing that benefits the country, the military, and the people.”
Soon, military and civilian R&D personnel worked intensively to tackle key problems. The bank’s magnetic stripe and the “UnionPay” logo soon appeared on the “Military Guarantee Card”. The guarantee card officially has the function of a bank card. Officers and soldiers can handle related financial services at all commercial banks across the country, and they can also swipe their cards for consumption in consumer places. This breakthrough function makes the “Military Guarantee Card” extend from “Military Access” to “Military-Local Access”, truly becoming an indispensable tool for cardholders.
Continuous functional innovation and extension have made the “Military Guarantee Card” full of vitality. In 2006, the branch embedded the “electronic injury ticket” technology applicable to wartime into the “soldier guarantee card”, so that the guarantee card can not only meet the usual static guarantee, but also expand to the battlefield diversified dynamic guarantee function.
The guarantee card becomes a “pass” extending in all directions——
Radiation effect brought by a small card
In the early spring, the land of North China was warm and cold. The reporter went to several military camps and felt the various “heat effects” produced by the expansion of the serviceman’s guarantee card everywhere. The extensive, scattered, rough, low-efficiency, and difficult-to-transparent issues that were common in the past in logistics support have all gone with the wind and the ice and snow have melted.
The officers and soldiers happily introduced the various benefits of the military guarantee card to the reporter.
In the past, Yang Yuan, a staff officer of a certain navy agency, had to face six business units including combat service, military affairs, and confidentiality at a higher-level base, and it took at least half a month to count the combat service strength of a single person. If the military security card system is used, the work can be completed in less than 10 minutes.According to the needs of each major
Basic guarantee data can also be shared from the guarantee card data center in real time, without self-organization and layer-by-layer statistics. For example, the military assistant can download all kinds of relevant information such as the personnel, quantity, and affiliated units he needs from the guarantee card data center, and can formulate the corresponding outfitting and distribution plan in time.
When mentioning the security card, Staff Yang said faster and faster: “The biggest benefit of the security card is the real-time preservation of data.” In the past, to grasp the security supply status of an officer and soldier, all departments of the logistics agency had to ask one by one and repeat the statistics. Nowadays, the resources in the guarantee card system are shared by all business departments, which not only standardizes various guarantee basis, but also provides detailed, reliable, real-time preservation data for the correct decision-making and management of the chief agency.
Assistant Tang Qingsong of a certain military material procurement bureau of the General Logistics Department told reporters: “In the past, the reporting error of the strength statistics of a branch’s direct supply and agency supply units was usually about 1%-3%. Now using the guarantee card system, statistics can basically achieve zero. Error.” Assistant Tang’s remarks were circumstantial evidence in the reporter’s subsequent interview.
At the installation and distribution site of an independent automobile battalion in the Beijing Military Region, the reporter learned that the installation and distribution achieved the unparalleled supply and demand consistency in history. The fitness rate reached 100%, and the inventory, turnover, and call volume had “0” for the first time. The staff of this camp has the deepest experience in the Spring Festival: “It is only a sentence to achieve accurate protection, but it is really too difficult! This is entirely due to the fact that the guarantee card collects information from the source and updates it in real time. “
In the various business departments of the agency, everyone reported that the trial guarantee card is “like entering no one’s land”, and data and information are shared. Anyone can collect and download according to their own business needs, and make accurate supply guarantee plans in time, and prevent excess Supply and leakage problems, plug various loopholes. At the same time, the various business departments of the agency can dynamically grasp the changes in the supply strength of each unit and the supply guarantee of each officer and soldier, and can make timely adjustments.
“Guarantee Kaguo really has such a miraculous effect?” Faced with reporters’ questions, Xu Deng, an assistant of a surveying and mapping team of the General Staff, said to reporters earnestly: “It’s far more than that. The officers and soldiers of our unit have been performing satellite launches, field surveys and other tasks outside for a long time. It is very inconvenient for the unit to open a letter of introduction to the local garrison. Sometimes the letter of introduction is put in a pocket, and it can be easily damaged or lost when it is moved around. In the future, when the officers and soldiers go to the unit to swipe the guarantee card, all the information is available. , Which reduces the guarantee links and improves the guarantee capability.” The high-efficiency function of the guarantee card is evident.
The reporter experienced a field exercise in the hinterland of the Inner Mongolia desert. A soldier was “wounded” and passed out and was quickly carried into the field medical cabin. The doctor took out the soldier’s security card in the soldier’s pocket and swiped it on the network terminal. The soldier’s unit, name, blood type and other information were immediately displayed on the screen. The medical staff quickly gave proper treatment based on the relevant information, which greatly shortened The time required for inspection improves the efficiency of treatment. The actual combat function of the guarantee card is eye-catching.
In the final analysis, the most popular security card among officers and soldiers is that it brings infinite convenience to everyone. During the Spring Festival, Wang Yixiang, a non-commissioned officer from a warehouse in the Navy, finished shopping in a supermarket in Tianjin, took out his “military protection card” and swiped it on the cashier’s credit card machine, and the transaction was immediately successful. Wang Yixiang told reporters: “This kind of special military security card with the’UnionPay’ logo can be consumed in any store where’UnionPay’ can be consumed, and there is no handling fee for deposits and withdrawals in other places, which really brings us benefits.”
In the past, officers and soldiers needed to go to many departments for medical treatment, clothing collection, and transfer of supply relations. Some of them had to go back and forth hundreds of kilometers. Now one card simplifies various procedures and becomes a “passport” that extends in all directions in the field of logistical support.
“Do you know what your standard safeguard materials are for this year?” Facing such questions, nine out of ten people can’t speak up. But if you have a guarantee card, it’s clear as soon as you swipe it. For a long time, the officers and soldiers of the army have not been very clear about the support situation, and what they send and receive. But now use the military security card to check the security standards, and know what to protect and how much to protect. For example, the insurance card covers all the functions of the current medical card. With the card, you can check the personal medical account, medical consumption, and the most recent medical visit or treatment items and other information clearly. Everyone vividly compares the guarantee card, which can be inquired publicly and democratically, to the “understand card” of military personnel.
Many people are worried, will the military security card be leaked? Relevant research and development experts laughed and answered: “The key function of the guarantee card encrypts each card to ensure the security of the supply identity authentication. The system relies on the military integrated information network to operate, and has established a complete identity verification mechanism, information transmission mechanism, and information. A signature mechanism that is tamper-proof, anti-counterfeiting, and non-repudiation.” Several years of trial operation have shown that the guarantee card system has strong security and fully complies with national and military information security standards.
“8 years of grinding a card” gave birth to many new thinking——
A long way to innovation
Dong Mingxiang, director of the Joint Logistics Department of the Beijing Military Region, told reporters that a small support card reflects the general trend and general direction of our military’s logistics support. As long as it is expanded, deepened, and used, it will effectively promote our military’s logistics support. Fundamental changes in methods, management methods, and support force generation models.
From the beginning of the pilot project in early 2001, to the full expansion of the test in the Beijing theater today, this process took 8 years, which can be described as “8 years of grinding a card.” Pursuing the development of the military security card, the reporter felt that the new thing of the security card, while bringing benefits and convenience to the troops, officers and soldiers, also triggered some new thinking.
The concept of the military security card needs to be updated. More and more people realize that the support card conforms to the needs of modern logistics support and is an inevitable choice for the scientific development of our army’s logistics. However, the influence of traditional concepts still exists to varying degrees: some people are used to the “old practice”, and they feel that using a card is not as clear as “using a meter” and is familiar with the road.
The difficulty of implementing the military guarantee card still needs to be overcome. Like all new things, breaking the cocoon into a butterfly will inevitably encounter various difficulties and risks. From the pilot to the expansion of the military support card, the formal management system has not yet been established. In the past, the “Military Support Card Office” was temporarily established. Now it is called the “Military Support Card Expansion Leading Group” and is led by the Office of Information Technology. There is no authoritative functional department responsible for such a major reform, many things are not going well, and the problems are difficult to solve. Relevant experts suggest that when the conditions are ripe, the headquarters should further clarify the construction and application management mechanism of the military support card system, and it is best to promulgate and implement it in the form of regulations to enhance its compulsory force.
In addition, the guarantee card data system appeared in a brand-new appearance, and it was very difficult and difficult to integrate with the data systems operated by various logistics departments. There are still many difficulties such as these, and they need to be explored and resolved during the expansion of the test.
Space needs to be expanded for the implementation of military security cards. The application of the military support card system is not a departmental matter. It is a major project that affects the overall situation. It is a “shuffle” of the current guarantee methods, systems, and means. Therefore, there are many places where the “all-in-one card” needs to be “passed”.
In order to promote the continuous deepening of the expansion test of the support card, the Beijing Theater has incorporated the leaders of the confidential, military, communications, and cadre departments into the expansion work leading group, and requires relevant functional departments at all levels to adapt to the needs of diversified military tasks and use information technology as soon as possible. Improve the support capacity, rely on technological progress to transform the support force generation model, expand the practical space of the support card, and accelerate the pace of comprehensive construction of modern logistics.
The implementation of military security cards has broad application prospects, but there is a long way to go. The reporter learned from the expansion test of the military support card that the source of personnel strength data is collected, the system is integrated and unified under one database, and each business department is authorized to download and use the strength data to ensure the uniqueness and real-time accuracy of the data. When the logistics supply strength is unified with the professional strength. If the future prospects of the military support card can include military, political, logistics, equipment and other fields, it will have far-reaching significance for the comprehensive integration and integrated management of the information system of our “three strengths” (cadres, soldiers, and logistics). At the same time, it is also conducive to enriching the content and elements of the integrated integration of combat systems.
The practice of expanding the test in the Beijing theater shows that the application prospect of the military support card is optimistic and potential, but it is really promoted and used well, and every link is not flawed. Its complexity and arduousness cannot be underestimated. In this sense, there is still a long way to go to implement the military guarantee card.
The new era of “all-in-one card” for military camps has come in great strides!
