On June 4, 1985 (the 16th of April in the lunar calendar), Deng Xiaoping announced that our country's government would reduce its 1 million. On November 1, 1984, just one month after the military parade marking the 35th anniversary of the National Day, the Central Military Commission held a symposium, and Deng Xiaoping expressed an astonishing determination: "Great disarmament." Deng said: "Disarmament is an offending thing, let me offend it, and do not hand over the contradiction to the new Chairperson of the Central Military Commission. On June 4, 1985, the Chinese government officially announced the reduction of 1 million personnel, accounting for about a quarter of the number of Chinese troops at that time, and the 11 major military regions were reduced to 7. This task was officially completed in 1987, and the staffing of the three headquarters was reduced by nearly half. After the reduction, the total strength of the People's Liberation Army was about 3.30 million. In the past, disarmament was mainly a reduction of personnel, and the internal structure changed little. This is not only a reduction in personnel, but also a reorganization of the military system, especially the army. The army's first-level troops have moved towards the synthetic group army, and the number of special forces has exceeded that of infantry for the first time in history. Through streamlining and reorganization and reforming the system, the People's Liberation Army has taken a solid step towards the goal of lean institutions, flexible command, fast response and strong combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and the pace of modernization has continued to accelerate. It can be said that China's military strength has been strengthened after disarmament. In September 1997, our army carried out the ninth major disarmament. The Central Military Commission decided to reduce the number of 500,000. On September 1, 2003, [Lssdjt.com] Jiang Zemin, then chairperson of the Central Military Commission, announced that by 2005, our army would reduce posts 200,000, thus kicking off the tenth disarmament.
