Chapter 11 - War Operation As the main link and concentrated embodiment of war implementation, war action is very rich in content.War action styles mainly include: strategic reconnaissance and strategic early warning, strategic projectionand strategic deployment, strategic assault, strategic counter-air attack, strategic blockade, border defense,island operations, maritime mobile operations, cyber electromagnetic space warfare, and opinion and legalstruggles and psychological offense and defense, etc. Section 1 Strategic Reconnaissance and Strategic Early Warning Section 2 Strategic Projection and Strategic Deployment Section 3 Strategic Assault Section Section 4 Strategic Counter Air Attack Section 5 Strategic Blockade Section Section 6 Border Defense Section 7 Island Operations Section 8 Sea Mobile Operations Section 9 Cyber Electromagnetic Space Warfare Section 10 Public Opinion Jurisprudence Struggle and PsychologicalOffense and Defense

Chapter 10 - War Planning Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must focus on innovating war and combat planning, closely follow the evolutionof war patterns and combat methods, closely follow combat tasks, combat opponents, and combatenvironments, and vigorously promote the style of research on combat issues." War planning is about thewar to be implemented. Overall planning and organization. The process of war planning is a process inwhich the strategic director transforms the political objectives into military objectives based on thedetermination of the political objectives of the war, and then carries out the overall design and pre-planningof the war around the objectives. Correct war planning is the basic guarantee for winning the war. The planning of information-based local wars, from the perspective of stages, includes planning the start ofthe war, the course of the war, and the end of the war; from the content point of view, it mainly involvesgrasping the characteristics of the war, making war decisions, designing war operations, constructingstrategic deployments, and organizing strategies coordination, overall planning of strategic guarantees,implementation of war mobilization, planning of political work, etc. The content of war planning should be themain body, and its related elements should be organically integrated in the planning of each stage of the warand the control of the whole battle situation.

Chapter 9 - Military Conflict in New Domains - PART 2 Section 4 Military Conflict in the Polar DomainSection 5 Military Conflict in the Biological Domain Section 6 Military Conflict in the Intelligence Domain Military conflicts in the new domains are various military activities conducted in the space, network, deepsea, polar regions, biology, intelligence, etc., domains in order to maintain national security. The newdomains are not only an important domain of military conflict, but also an integral part of internationalpolitical struggle, which has an important influence on the country's politics and diplomacy. Therefore, allcountries in the world, especially the big countries, are paying close attention to and planning militaryconflicts in new areas.

Chapter 8 Strategic DeterrenceSection 1 Basic Concepts of Strategic Deterrence Section 2 China’s Strategic Deterrence Thought Section 3 Methods of Strategic Deterrence Section 4 Guidance of Strategic Deterrence Strategic deterrence is an important content of military strategic planning and guidance, and an effectivemeans to maintain national security and development. With the extensive use of high-tech in the militaryfield and the development and change of the international strategic situation, the role of strategic deterrencehas become increasingly prominent. Under the conditions of the new era, it is necessary to use the flexibleuse of strategic deterrence methods to create a favorable strategic situation to contain armed conflicts andwars, delay the outbreak of wars, stop the escalation and expansion of wars, avoid, or reduce war damage,and maintain the ever-expanding national security and development interests.

With the development and change of the international strategic situation and the security environment of ourcountry, the factors of insecurity, instability and uncertainty facing our country have increased significantly.Crisis has gradually become the normal state of national security, and military crises have also shown anincreasing trend. Military crises are the crossroads of war and peace. If they cannot be effectively preventedand dealt with, they may get out of control and escalate into war, which will have a major impact andinterference on the peaceful development of our country, and even destroy the hard-won achievements ofreform and opening up. Therefore, we should thoroughly study and explore the characteristics and laws ofmilitary crises, actively prevent crises, strive to manage crises, properly handle crises, control the impactand impact of military crises within a certain range, and create a peaceful and stable strategic environmentfor national development. Section One: The Connotation and Characteristics of Military crisisAfter the end of the Cold War, international military crises frequently occurred, and the incentives werecomplex and diverse. The prominent manifestations were the intensified competition for geopolitical andeconomic interests, the intensification of ethnic and religious contradictions, and the endless emergence ofnational unity and territorial disputes. Study the connotation of contemporary military crises, explore thecharacteristics and laws of the occurrence, development, and transformation of military crises, summarizethe experience of crisis prevention and handling, and improve our country's ability to prevent and handlemilitary crises, which has important practical significance for stopping wars, defending national interests, andmaintaining regional stability and world peace .

Strategic decisions are decisions made on major issues regarding the use and construction of military forcesfrom an overall perspective, and are the highest-level decisions in the military domain. Its main task is tostipulate the strategic objectives, tasks, and policies of military conflict and army building, and determine themethod of military force utilization and construction methods in accordance with the characteristics of thestrategic environment, national interest requirements and military strategic thinking. Strategic decision-making is the basic basis for strategic planning and implementation of strategic actions. It is directly relatedto the success or failure of military conflicts, and even affects the future and destiny of the country. Section One: The Main Characteristics of Strategic Decision-MakingStrategic decision-making has a macro-oriented and leading role. Compared with decision-making in otherfields, strategic decision-making has outstanding antagonism, risk, creativity, timeliness, and foresight. 1. Stark confrontationStrategic decision-making is the decision made by the strategic instructor on the countermeasures weshould take in response to the other's attempts, possible actions, and security threats to us. It is obviouslyantagonistic. It is not only a competition of the will and strength of the two parties, but also a game ofstrategy and art between the two parties. It requires that the strategic director must give full play to hissubjective initiative on the basis of objective material.Strategic decision-making is also manifested in the process of intelligent confrontation between the opposingparties relying on and using military strength. It is a competition between the strategic directors of the twosides to compete for superiority and active subjective guidance.

With the continuous development of human military practice activities, strategic evaluation has become anindispensable and important link in military strategic guidance, and has a significant impact on thedevelopment process of strategic activities. Practice has proved that after entering the information age, therole of strategic evaluation has further risen, and strategic instructors must pay close attention to it. Section One: The meaning and role of strategic evaluationStrategic evaluation is produced in the long-term military conflict practice of mankind. It is an objectiverequirement for the implementation of scientific guidance on strategic activities. Its meaning and rolecontinue to develop with the practice of military conflicts, and present the trend of the professionalization ofevaluation of the main body and scientification of evaluation method, and diversification of evaluationcontent.1. The meaning of strategic evaluationStrategic evaluation refers to the process of using scientific methods to conduct qualitative and quantitativecomprehensive evaluation of strategic activities, and make corresponding evaluation conclusions. Itgenerally includes pre-evaluation, stage evaluation and effectiveness evaluation.In the military field, although strategic evaluation activities have long existed, they are mainly characterizedby qualitative analysis. It was not until the 1980s that due to the development of computer technology,strategic evaluation began to move from static evaluation to dynamic simulation evaluation, and qualitativeevaluation to qualitative evaluation. The combination of quantitative evaluation and development hasresulted in the emergence of a strategic evaluation system that adapts to different evaluation tasks, and theevaluation theory has also been greatly developed. A professional evaluation agency and a specialevaluation system have been established.

Strategy implementation is a strategic practice activity that uses strategic means to achieve strategic goals,in accordance with the requirements of strategic guidelines and strategic planning, and the development andchanges of the strategic situation. trategy implementation involves all aspects and each field of military work, and the content is very extensive, but it can be summed up mainly in two aspects: army building and preparation for military conflict; military conflict implementation. Army building and preparations for military conflict are both closely linked and have differences. From theperspective of the relationship between the two, the main aspects of army building and military conflictpreparations are the same and consistent. Army building is the basis of military conflict preparations, andmilitary conflict preparations for specific combat objects in a certain strategic direction are themselves. Animportant content of army building, at the same time it can lead and promote army building. Judging from thedifference between the two, army building is a regular military activity, which is basic, comprehensive andlong-term, and pays more attention to ability traction; while preparations for military conflict are often carriedout in response to a certain actual security threat, and have a strong pertinence and phased nature, and putmore emphasis on demand traction. It can be seen that both are important content of strategyimplementation, and they can be planned and implemented as one at the same time.

Strategic planning is the overall arrangement of concretizing the content of strategic decision-making intostrategic actions. It is a link connecting strategic decision-making and strategy implementation, and animportant link of strategic guidance. Once the strategic plan is determined, it becomes a programmaticdocument for the overall planning and guidance of the use and construction of military forces to achieve certain strategic goals, with the allocation and control of strategic resources as the core..

PART 1 To strengthen the country and the army, strategy is first. To study and research strategy, we must first clarifythe basic concepts, study the basic theories, and master the basic principles. This Part is the basic theory ofstrategy, which aims to reveal the basic connotation, basic principles, and operating laws of strategy. On thebasis of explaining the basic issues of strategy, the five links of strategic operation are discussed in detail,namely, strategic judgment, strategic decision-making, strategic planning, strategic implementation, andstrategic evaluation. Among them, making correct strategic judgments on the security situation facing thecountry is the starting point for strategic operations. On the basis of strategic analysis and judgment,strategic directors make strategic decisions, identify threats, distinguish between enemies and friends, clarifygoals and tasks, and make strategic deployments. In order to implement the various contents of the strategicdecision, it is necessary to formulate a strategic plan, and then pay for the implementation of the strategy,and implement the content of the strategic decision and plan into all links and stages of military conflict andarmy building. Finally, there is an evaluation of the strategic operation process. This is the complete processand basic principle of strategic operation. By revealing this basic principle, this part provides theoreticalsupport for the strategic guidance on the use and construction of military forces in later chapters.
