Wang Peng: It is advisable to establish, expand, and run in a regular army -level (above) for the Standing Army of the Positive Army (above) for the pose of a common construction, full -time response to nuclear/raw /ization/epidemic threats.

After the outbreak of the new coronary virus, the Chinese government and the World Health Organization and other international institutions and friendly countries have poured great human material resources to curb the spread of the virus, do their best to save the lives of the Chinese people, and curb the global spread of the virus.

With the approval of the Central Military Commission of the China Central Committee, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has collected medical forces from the form of railways and air transportation on February 1; according to the order of the central theater, the residents in Hubei fight against the epidemic support team officially established on the 2nd and started on the 2nd, and beganTake the supplies of the distribution of living materials in Wuhan citizens.From February 3rd, a 1,400 -scale military medical staff will undertake the medical treatment task of Wuhan Huoshan Hospital to support local epidemic prevention and control.

However, in the public health and emergency practice of disaster relief resistance, various deep problems have also been exposed, which is worth reflecting and coming out of an institutional response plan.Therefore, this article tries to propose and demonstrate: based on the existing deployment, it is advisable to establish, expand, and run in a martial arts committee directly under the command of the Central Military Commission, regularly formulate, full -time response to nuclear/live/epidemic threats (The above) Standing forces of epidemic prevention can be built by the Chinese People's Liberation Army's strategic support forces or military departments such as the central theater.

1. necessity, urgency

First, from the perspective of the response of this epidemic, some local governments' emergency experience, resource allocation, governance capabilities, and the response speed, work efficiency, occupational ethics, professional literacy, etc. of some local semi -official institutions, are all the objective needs of the epidemic.There is a certain gap with the subjective expectations.

Secondly, 17 years ago, China successfully fought against SARS to leave a valuable experience: After recognizing the severity of the epidemic, the central government decisively sent a group of big names represented by Wu Yi, then deputy prime minister of the State Council, and Wang Qishan, the mayor of Beijing.Members, high authorization, unified command, quickly reverse the situation, and play a good effect.Today, in the case of the outbreak of the epidemic, in the case of more than half a month in the outbreak of the outbreak, the coordination between different provinces, the coordination between the cities in the province, the districts, hospitals, government organizations, semi -official organizations, and semi -official organizations in the city,There are still some problems in coordination between folk organizations, and they are still running in.

At present, at the design level of the central/top -level level, the leading group of the central government has set up the central government. The Premier of the State Council has personally served as the team leader, which shows that the central government attaches great importance to the epidemic.However, at the practical level of work, that is, (1) between the leadership group and the provinces (especially the adjacent provinces around Hubei Province and the surrounding provinces);The executors will specifically implement the spiritual instructions of the leadership group, unified command, and cut off various administrative and non -administrative obstacles to fight against the epidemic.It can be seen that how to unified leadership, how to overcome internal loss, reduce communication costs, control administrative costs, and centralize the internal and external forces of the system is a top priority.

Third, in the long run, with the advancement of China's construction work, the number of (civilian) nuclear facilities and large (toxic) chemical/biological agents will be further increased.At the time of writing this article, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred at Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, at 00:00 on February 3, with a depth of 21 kilometers.This undoubtedly doubles the dual challenges of anti -pneumonia and earthquake relief in Sichuan region.In addition, the trend of globalization has also led to the high -speed flow and spread of infectious diseases such as SARS, Ebola, and new crown pneumonia.The above -mentioned challenges require China to set up a strong and capable professional and full -time team as soon as possible, which can go to the source areas of major disasters such as the front line nuclear, raw, chemical, and infectious diseases at the fastest response.The required field hospital; at the same time, it must be given enough authoritative and power by the central government to uniformly dispatch governments and resources at all levels and resources involved in the areas of the involved areas and surrounding provinces and cities, coordinate different ministries and commissions, and quickly generate joint efforts to effectively resist disasters and cope withepidemic.

Fourth, from a longer -term perspective, the epidemic has fully proved that a major infectious diseases' blows on Chinese politics, economy, and society may not be less than a local war.Therefore, from the perspective of maintaining national security, the construction of a strong and hardworking public safety standing army, and showing excellent combat power in the past rescue and disaster relief, it can deter the potential threats and better guarantee the safety of the people.

Second, feasibility

First of all, in the past 70 years, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has established merits in the rescue and relief of floods, seismic, and anti -diseases, especially in the battle of new crown pneumonia in the period of time.Their execution and work efficiency.

Secondly, China has established similar troops and has a institutional foundation.For example, on September 22, 2006, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, the PLA's first public health emergency mobile combat forces mdash; mdash; the Chinese People's Liberation Army Disease Prevention and Control Institute's Public Health Emergency Response Team was formally established in Beijing.But unfortunately, in the following disaster relief practice, it did not develop it.It's time to re -consider and build a new troops that can really fight hard battles and save people's water and fire.

Finally, similar preparations and successful experience in other countries can learn from.For example, the US Federal Government has the U.S. Public Health Service Commission Corps (PHSCC). It is a federal uniform forces under the US Public Health Administration and one of the seven uniforms in the United States.They are both soldiers and public health staff.This about 6,000 troops not only undertake domestic anti -epidemic prevention work, but can also be stationed overseas to participate in international rescue.Public Health Services Officer Corps is managed by the US Department of Health and Public Service.The head of the Public Health Services Corps is a medical director who is equivalent to Lieutenant General Navy.Medical director directly belongs to the Minister of Health Assistant with the generals of the Navy (if the minister serves public health officers).

3. Specific plan

First, troops establishment

1. The military rank/administrative level should not be lower than the army, otherwise it is difficult to dispatch resources.Under the current system of China, the military level is equivalent to the provincial and ministerial level.As the chief executive of the disaster resistance work in the epidemic area (directly listening to the Central Military Commission and the central government at the central government to deal with the epidemic work leadership group), the commander of the epidemic prevention military must have sufficient level and power to effectively mobilize resources and coordinate the leaders of the local cadres.Do it to ban and command unified command.

2. The number of epidemic prevention soldiers may wish to set up around 20,000.Headquarters, staff and the general office of the office, as well as about 5,000 people in the research institute directly under the military.15,000 combat forces can be divided into three teams, 5,000 per team.Usually, the Central Brigade stayed in the Beijing headquarters to monitor the epidemic and guard the capital.

The local brigade has more than 30 squadrons and is located in various provinces across the country. It is independent of local governments. It operates by itself and is directly responsible for the central government.They should closely monitor the possible epidemic situation in the local area and report to the Beijing headquarters as soon as possible; at the same time, the local government knows to respond.

Overseas brigades are stationed abroad as an international public product provided by China's international obligations to fulfill the international obligations of the United Nations and actively participate in global humanitarian rescue.This is not only to enhance the image of China's national image and international morality, but more importantly, collecting overseas disease epidemic news at any time, the development trends of new viruses and new threats as soon as possible, and reporting and warning to domestic headquarters as soon as possible.After all, in the era of globalization, the new epidemic and new strains in any corner of the world may pose a significant threat to the safety of China's overseas interests, the builders of the Belt and Road in China, and the lives of domestic people.

Second, normal management

The three brigades, for a period of 2 or 3 years, carried out a rotation to ensure that any commander of the Epidemic Army commanded one-third of the service period in 6-9 years to fight on the front line.Battle of the fire disaster.

This is because such an elite army that consumes a national heavy money is not enough to have training. It must be refined to the real war on the most dangerous frontline.The US military is strong. In addition to being equipped and training well, an important reason is that it is a global battle all year round, practicing soldiers in real knives and real guns.China pursues the national policy of peaceful development and does not launch a foreign war. However, as a responsible country, it is indeed necessary to actively participate in international rescue and help AIA to respond to the threat of viruses and disasters together.Through independent or participating in the relevant rescue activities of the United Nations organizations, the epidemic prevention army can maintain the battle status all year round, instead of traveling to slackness, and even breeding corruption, and eventually reduced to the same -level corruption as some local semi -official institutions to waste the hard -earned money of taxpayers.

To this end, the articles of association of the epidemic prevention should clearly stipulate that all promotion, titles, and promotion can only occur in the process of fighting major epidemic or overseas brigade in the country in China;Opportunities.The design of this system is to organically combine the honor of the soldiers, the minds of interest with the national interests, and the people's needs to inspire them to kill the disease on the battlefield against the epidemic.; Let the brave soldiers on the front line of the grassroots get the proper promotion, have been placed in the most important positions, and received the corresponding treatment.

Third, deployment during war

1. When a major epidemic occurred in China, it was approved by the central government's response to the epidemic work leadership group and the Central Military Commission, and the provinces (or including its surrounding areas) that broke out of the outbreak were classified as the epidemic area.The epidemic area is the theater.In the provinces and cities that implement military management, the unified command of epidemic prevention army, fully command and coordinate all parties, and reasonably meet the epidemic.After the epidemic, the Central Brigade withdrew the capital to repair, and the local brigade rotated.Essence

2. After the epidemic zone/theater specifies, the Central Brigade brings supplies and instruments to the air -downside area to meet the container modules that were originally stationed in the province to assemble air -transported container modules and set up field hospitals.At the same time, the local brigade of the neighboring provinces came to reinforce.When an extremely major epidemic occurs, you can also summon overseas brigades to return to China to support and cooperate with combat.

3. The instructions of the Epidemic Prevention Army coordinate the municipal material transportation in the epidemic area to effectively ensure the daily needs of medical personnel and citizens.The medical and civilian materials in the epidemic area, including the exterior donation money and supplies, all shall be renewed and publicized in real time by the local government cooperated with the local government to ensure that each charity donation and publicity are updated in real time to ensure that each charity donation andThe special materials and funds allocated by the state have a source of supplies and implementation.The epidemic prevention army is not too emperor. It also accepts the supervision of the Central Military Commission and the people of the country. If there are any corruption, misappropriation, and delay, it will also be severely punished.
