On the command and political composition of the Red Army
On the command and political composition of the Red Army.
(Decree of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks dated June 5, 1931).
1 . The Central Committee states that as a result of the implementation of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR, the Central Committee decree of 25.II.1929, "On the command and political composition of the Red Army", significant success has been achieved in strengthening the commanding staff:
the party and workers stratum in the command staff has grown, especially in artillery, technical units, aviation, naval forces and headquarters;
the party-Komsomol and working stratum has grown among the cadets of students in normal schools and academies, and young cadres of teachers and scientific workers have come forward;
the cohesion of the entire command personnel was strengthened and complete unity was achieved in the work of the command and political personnel of the army. The number of one-man leaders among the party commanders has grow
n considerably, and one-man management in the company has been fully implemented;the influence of the party on the non-party commanders has increased, and its bulk over the last period has become even more closely connected with the party and is actively working to strengthen the army's combat power;
the working class has grown among political workers, especially political instructors;
The so-called “Belarusian-Tolmachev” vacillations and mistakes that took place in 1928 among the political staff were completely eliminated.
But, along with these achievements, the Central Committee notes that the level of military-technical training of the command personnel is clearly insufficient and does not meet the requirements that are now being presented and will increasingly be presented to the command personnel by the technical equipment of the army.
2 . The Central Committee considers the main, now decisive task in the matter of further increasing the army's combat effectiveness - a decisive increase in the military-technical knowledge of command personnel, mastering them perfectly in combat equipment and complex forms of modern combat. The Revolutionary Military Council of the Union, the entire command staff and the Party organization of the army should now focus their main attention and forces on the fastest and most successful solution of this task. The military-technical improvement of the commander should become the most important link in the work of the entire command staff and all army organizations.
3 . At the same time, a red commander must possess high volitional qualities, without which a commander who is qualified in military-technical and political terms is not a full-fledged combat leader.
With all their daily work, correct and sensitive attitude towards the commander as a military organizer and combat leader, party organizations and political agencies must in every way ensure the strengthening of strong-willed qualities, initiative, perseverance and courage in him.
4 . Noting in the recent period some, but still clearly insufficient, successes in the military training of political personnel, the Central Committee considers it absolutely necessary to further decisively increase his military knowledge.
5 . Political agencies and party organizations should intensify their work on the political education of command personnel in the spirit of selfless devotion to their proletarian dictatorship, the cause of socialism and class intransigence.
Having grown up politically and culturally, the Red Army soldier requires a more qualified political leadership. This confronts political workers and commanders with the task of decisively increasing their political knowledge, the ability to clearly lead the Red Army masses politically.
6 . The Central Committee invites the Revolutionary Military Council to continue further increasing the party layer among the command personnel, especially in the artillery, the air fleet, motorized equipment and headquarters.
7 . Military educational institutions - military schools, refresher courses and academies - should become truly leading centers for the entire army in combat and political training, in mastering technology, in military scientific work and fully meet the army's need for highly qualified military-technical and political command staff. This puts before the Revolutionary Military Council of the Union the task of further strengthening the universities with qualified teaching personnel and decisively strengthening the educational material and technical base, providing the universities with all the latest military equipment as a priority.
The Central Committee also invites all party organizations much more than until now to contact military educational institutions, take an interest in their daily life and study, listen to reports from university party organizations and help them in every possible way in their work.
Noting the successful progress in the implementation of the special mobilization of communists in military schools, which is being carried out this year, which will further strengthen the command courses of technical troops (artillery, air forces, tank units), the Central Committee invites the regional committees, regional committees and the Central Committee of the national communist parties to select in them the best cadres of Communists and Komsomol members, trained in the volume of at least seven years.
8 . Noting the increase in the recent period of coverage of military retraining of the reserve command personnel, the accumulation of new personnel of the reserve command personnel through the system of military training in civilian universities, but, at the same time, noting that the level of military training of the reserve command personnel still lags sharply behind the requirements now imposed on the commander of the Red Army , The Central Committee proposes that the USSR Revolutionary Military Council decisively improve the quality of military retraining of the command personnel of the reserve, and the party and professional organizations provide all possible assistance to the military intelligence in this.
Trade unions and Osoaviakhimov organizations at the same time also do everything possible to develop extra-army work with command personnel on its military improvement.
When placing the command personnel of the reserve in the civil service, the bodies of the People's Commissariat of Labor provide the command personnel with mainly such types of work that would make it possible to consolidate administrative command skills and develop knowledge related to their military specialty.
9 . The Central Committee invites all local Party organizations to provide all-round assistance to the command of units in resolving all issues that ensure successful combat training and command training - the organization of training fields, shooting ranges, shooting ranges, as well as improving the living conditions and work of command personnel.
10 . To offer OGIZ to maximize the release of military-technical literature both for the command personnel of the Red Army and the reserve, increasing its share in the publishing plan of Voengiz to 60% and also, no later than January 1, 1932, publish a textbook for civil party activists on the main military affairs.
