Won’t one of the five commanders not know this? "The most important thing in the military lies in the general." In the era of the integration and superposition of information and intelligence, the form of war is rapidly evolving and the winning mechanism has undergone profound changes. The quality of commanders has become the golden key to winning wars. If a commander cannot analyze and judge the situation, make combat decisions, understand the intentions of his superiors, arrange troops, or deal with emergencies, he cannot lead his troops to win the battle. Focusing on solving the "five incompetences" of commanders is not only an important content and intrinsic requirement for building a world-class army, but also the key to the ability to win modern wars and defeat powerful enemies.

How to analyze and judge the situation

Scientific analysis and judgment of the situation is the premise and foundation for the implementation of scientific command and decision-making. Commanders do not know how to analyze and judge the situation. Facing the turbulent new military revolution in the world, they cannot see clearly the direction and find the path; facing the fleeting war situation, they do not know how to command the troops to charge into battle and kill the enemy heroically. To learn to accurately analyze and judge situations, first, we must have strategic thinking and strategic vision. This is the broad vision and macro thinking that is good at observing, analyzing and handling problems from a global perspective. Faced with a complicated situation, the commander can only make correct decisions in the complicated situation by looking through the smoke-filled battlefield and seeing things beyond the battlefield. No matter at what time, commanders need to hone their ability to "see the whole picture from a glimpse" and "see the overall situation from a corner". The second is to enhance dialectical thinking and bottom line awareness. This is to dialectically look at the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and ourselves. We must not only see the aspects of the current situation that are beneficial to us and disadvantageous to the enemy, but also see the aspects that are detrimental to us and beneficial to the enemy, and derive the basic characteristics and development trends of the current situation. , find the main contradictions and main aspects of the contradictions in the current situation, identify the strategic pivots that influence and promote the development of the current situation, and guide the situation to develop in a direction that is beneficial to us and not beneficial to the enemy. Only in this way can the commander clearly judge the general situation of the battlefield and have a clear understanding of the situation even if he is caught in a dangerous situation. Only in this way can the commander clearly judge the general situation of the battlefield and have a clear understanding of the situation even if he is caught in a dangerous situation.

How to determine the determination to fight

The history of human wars has repeatedly proved that in classic battles, the correct determination precedes the troops and leads the troops to victory thousands of miles away. Marshal Liu Bocheng's famous saying, "If the five elements are uncertain, you will lose completely" illustrates the important role of determination in combat. In the information age, the power of war games is changing, and the factors that affect the outcome of combat are changing. How should we determine the determination to fight? First, the enemy is the target of our determination. Only by thoroughly studying the enemy from the outside to the inside can we make the correct determination and defeat the opponent's passiveness. Military scientist Fuller once said that the art and success of military commanders are based on "seeing through the enemy's soul and taking actions that the enemy does not expect." The key to the ability to judge enemies lies in learning and practice. In the face of modern warfare, commanders at all levels must have a sense of panic about the lack of new knowledge, new theories, and new technologies, and truly become "blue army experts"; at the same time, the military exercise field should become a battlefield for "knowing the enemy", and the enemy situation should be set up as much as possible Being close to the imaginary enemy and the actual battlefield allows commanders to improve their ability to study and judge the enemy during the "seventy-two changes" in the enemy situation. The second is to understand the winning mechanism of modern war. In the era of the integration and superposition of information and intelligence, the mechanism for winning wars has profoundly changed. The traditional thinking of "Han Xin orders troops, the more the better" has become a "gone flower" and cannot defeat powerful enemies. It is necessary to deeply study the winning mechanism of modern war, master the secret of winning, and get the pulse and direction for determining the determination to fight. The third is to be good at daring to win in danger. Clausewitz said: "Three-quarters of the factors on which war is based are more or less surrounded by the fog of uncertainty." In the information age, the fog of battlefields will become thicker and more changeable, and war will be more dangerous. It is impossible for a commander to know all the real conditions on the battlefield, and he must have the courage to win in danger. However, taking risks and making decisions is not a random act. Commanders must maximize judgment and prediction and prepare responses to various situations in advance. This is to pull out the teeth after having "adequate plans in hand".
