Section 3 Main Measures for Reserve Force Construction and Development

Reserve forces refer to forces that make necessary preparations in peacetime and can directly participate in
and support wars after being mobilized in wartime. They mainly include reserve forces, militias, pre-
commissioned forces and other personnel registered for reserve service. The building of reserve forces is an
important part of national defense construction, and is a basic and strategic project to consolidate national
defense. At present, our country is in a critical period of the new journey of comprehensively building
socialist modernization. The modernization of national defense and the armed forces has entered a new
stage of development, and higher requirements have been placed on the quality and effectiveness of the
reserve forces. Further strengthening the building of reserve forces is of great significance for
comprehensively preparing for military conflicts, enhancing the overall power of national defense, effectively
responding to multiple security threats, and ensuring the country's long-term stability, prosperity and
development.
