With the rapid development of high and new technologies and their widespread application in the military, it not only has a huge impact on the military's weapons and equipment combat theory and organizational structure, but also puts forward new requirements for military talents. As the basic elements of war, people, weapons and equipment, and the combination of people and weapons are closely related to science and technology. High-tech war is essentially a high-tech contest and confrontation. As the main body of war, whoever masters advanced science and technology and applies it scientifically and effectively on the battlefield can gain the initiative and advantage on the battlefield.

1. Correctly understand the relationship between people and weapons under high-tech conditions

The relationship between people and weapons is the primary issue in establishing a correct understanding of high-tech warfare. On this issue, Mao Zedong clearly pointed out long ago: "Weapons are an important factor in war, but they are not the decisive factor. The decisive factor is people, not things." This scientific argument correctly reveals the dialectical relationship between people and weapons in war. unified relationship. Under modern conditions, the development of weapons and equipment not only does not and cannot weaken the decisive role of people, on the contrary, it becomes more important and more prominent. This is because people are always the main body of war, and this is also the reason why we establish the correct technical war The key to recognizing military talent. (1) High-quality people are the key element that determines the decisive factor in high-tech warfare.

Today, when high technology is widely used in the military field, high-quality people and low-quality people are not simply poor in ability, but in the quality of combat effectiveness. The difference between people formed by the two is different. Groups, armies, troops or fighting groups have essential differences in their decisive role in winning or losing a war. Because the technology and scientific knowledge involved in high-tech warfare is very broad, the role of human physical strength and physical fitness in war has been greatly reduced, while the role of human intelligence has an absolute advantage. When science and technology were still very developed, it was very easy to combine people and weapons. A little training would improve skills and form and improve combat effectiveness. Weapons and equipment also depend on people to master and use them. The same weapon will have different effects in the hands of different people. In the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq and Iran each received some new weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union and the United States. However, due to the low quality of the armies of both sides, they ended up fighting a backward war with advanced weapons. Intelligent weapons require intelligent soldiers to master them. In the Gulf War, the disparity in technological quality was an important reason for the complete victory of the multinational forces and the disastrous defeat of Iraq, and the Hawk missile phenomenon is enough to prove this point. The Huowu missile is an all-weather, medium- and low-altitude surface-to-air missile developed by the American Raytheon Company in 1954 and equipped with troops in the early 1960s. After high-tech transformation in recent years, it was still a relatively advanced high-tech weapon in the early 1990s. It is a standard field air defense medium-range air defense missile for the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. It can be used to intercept aircraft, cruise missiles, and Surface-to-air missiles. On the eve of the Gulf War, the U.S. military sold 140 missiles and launch control systems to Kuwait. When Kuwait fell, these 140 Hawk missiles naturally became the trophies of the Iraqi army. However, due to the advanced guidance method used by the Hawk missiles, The operation and launch process was very complicated. Due to the lack of technical personnel in the Iraqi army, although it was captured in August 1990, it did not master the skills of manipulation, control and launch until the war broke out on January 17, 1991. Although air defense weapons are very much needed on the battlefield, due to the lack of high-quality talents, they can only be allowed to sleep in the warehouse, resulting in huge waste. The Hawk missile phenomenon further illustrates the decisive role of highly qualified people in war. On the contrary, no matter how many low-quality people there are, they have little effect, sometimes even no effect. Some comrades say that a large number of troops must be invested in a war, but this is not the case. Let me tell you about the second question:

(2) The numerical advantage of people is no longer the decisive advantage in winning or losing the war. , combat effectiveness not only comes from the quality of people, but also from the combination of people - the quality of weapons. In an era when the level of weapons and equipment was low, the number of troops and weapons was the main indicator of the strength of the military. Quantitative advantages could make up for qualitative disadvantages and become a decisive factor in the outcome of a war. "Victory is guaranteed when many soldiers travel" has almost become a famous saying for winning wars. However, with today's modern high technology, numbers cannot make up for it.

In the Gulf War, the Iraqi army, which had overwhelming military superiority, failed to put up a decent resistance due to its poor quality in terms of military strength, economic and political organization. It simply became a deaf man, a blind man and a target on the battlefield. It was just passively beaten without any resistance. There is no room for fighting back, so the decisive factor for people is not numerical superiority. Only the combination of high-quality people and weapons can grow and improve combat effectiveness. (3) The decisive role of popular support in determining the outcome of a war is even more prominent.

Comrade Mao Zedong has always regarded popular support as an important factor in determining the outcome of a war. This is also the basic starting point for him to establish a proletarian view of war. In today's era of high-tech warfare, people's hearts are against each other, and the issue of the justice of war still plays an important role in the outcome of a war. The Gulf War illustrates this point more profoundly. (1) From the origin of the war, it was due to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which was opposed by people all over the world. In particular, Iraq ignored ten United Nations resolutions and went its own way, forming an anti-Iraq alliance of more than 100 countries and a multinational force of more than 30 countries; (2) From the perspective of the formation of war power, due to Iraq's aggressive behavior, Unprecedented isolation in the world, almost the whole world is against Iraq, Iraq has truly become alone. The multinational force seems to have the "justice" of war. The multinational force led by the United States wants people and money. It is no longer like the US military's invasion of Vietnam and surprise attack on Libya, which has been opposed and condemned by the world and domestic. The reason is not Iraq. Is it a question of people’s support? This is true even in life. For example, if a comrade is a group that needs to be positive, and a certain comrade ignores the system and requirements, acts on his own, and makes the mistake of "being in the dark" of the group, he will inevitably attract the opposition of the whole group. We must never waver in our belief that "the people are the creators of history."

2. Several new characteristics of human factors in modern high technology

(1) Human factors will be more expressed in the form of "materialization".

The development of modern military science and technology has enabled people to fully exert their role in a wider field and at a higher level. For example, people can exponentially improve their brain function with the help of "external brain" and other advanced technical equipment; electronic technology and computer technology are widely used, pushing the development of human "intelligence" into a new field; "robots" participating in war are also driven by fantasy. become reality and so on. These are enough to show that the role of human factors will be expressed in more "materialized" forms.

(2) The human factor is more prominent in "confrontations on silent battlefields"

In past wars, people were used to thinking about how to defeat each other after the two sides fought. Today, with the development of science and technology, it is required to regard the extensive competition in various fields during peacetime, that is, the competition on the "silent battlefield", as an important and divisible part of the "hot battlefield" competition, as a new means of defeating the opponent. In today's world, deterrence theory is widely studied and applied. With the help of high-tech weapons, we strive to form a deterrent to the opponent and achieve the goal of "conquering the enemy without fighting." In this process, human quality, concepts and the modernization of military theory play an important decisive role.

(3) The human factor will play more of a role in indirect confrontation.

The large-scale application of new technological weapons on the battlefield is almost forcibly changing the traditional combat methods. Winning a modern war depends not only on direct controllers, but also on guarantors and organizers. The human element will manifest itself more as a battle of wits and strategies. The development of military science and technology, changes in war methods and methods, and updates in combat theory are, in the final analysis, the result of human creative activities.

Even the 1986 "Combat Outline" of the United States, which has advanced technology, pointed out: "Wars are fought and won by people, not machines. As always, the human factor will play a decisive role in future battles. effect".

3. Ways to produce modern military talents

1. Become talented through strict training. Military talents must undergo systematic and rigorous education in scientific, cultural and military knowledge, and they must also undergo direct or indirect military practice training. In war conditions, we must rely on war practice to learn war, and in peacetime, we must rely on training and hard training. Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "Under conditions without war, the education and training of the military must be raised to a strategic position." Improve the military's military quality and the overall combat capability of the army to achieve "political qualifications, military excellence, excellent work style, strict discipline, and strong support." 2. Strive to improve scientific and cultural knowledge.

In the new historical period, our military is tasked with resisting foreign aggression and maintaining national stability and unity. Many new situations and new characteristics have emerged in modern warfare, which require higher scientific and cultural qualities. Mao Zedong once said: "An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy." Proficiently master and use modern military technology, and strive to explore strategies to defeat the enemy under high-tech conditions in the future. 3. Adhere to the path of self-study through multiple forms and channels. To cultivate modern high-quality military talents, in addition to the above-mentioned main ways, with the development of science and technology, we must proceed from reality, constantly emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, open up new ways of military talents, seek strategic initiative in the 21st century, and achieve gains in military construction. The transformation from quantity-scale type to quality-efficiency type, from manpower-intensive to technology-intensive, realizes the strategic thinking of building an army with quality and strengthening it with science and technology.
