It can be understood from three aspects: civilian personnel are non-active personnel; Civilian personnel and active duty officers and soldiers are the basic categories of military personnel, and they are all formally established; Civilian personnel can engage in management or professional and technical work.
As can be seen from the above explanation, military civilian personnel and local clerks are completely different in post nature and work content, and must not be confused.
Functional mission
According to the task requirements for civilian personnel after the reform and referring to the international common practice, "civilian personnel usually perform corresponding duties, participate in military training and non-war military operations as needed, undertake corresponding combat support tasks, and serve in active service according to law."
Here are two additions: whether civilian personnel should go to war. One is to go; Second, the use of troops is obviously different from that of active servicemen, that is, civilian personnel are generally deployed in strategic rear areas and relatively safe areas, rather than front lines and directly hostile fire areas, and civilian personnel are engaged in security work.
Can civilian personnel be transferred to active service at ordinary times? It should be said that it is impossible under normal circumstances, mainly because the duties and tasks undertaken by civilian personnel are obviously different from those of active military personnel, and the qualifications of officers are very strict, but they can be used as one of the supplementary sources of officers, especially professional and technical officers.
