Gen. Tan outlines the Four Core Operational Mandates under China’s defense overhaul: Primary Focus on Theater Combat (主战主责): Transitioning to a dedicated joint operational command structure focused strictly on battlefield readiness, mission execution, and operational accountability. Joint Warfare & Joint Training (联战联训): Integrating cross-service joint drills to modernize military mindset and align operational concepts with high-tech modern warfare. Achieving Victory Through Precision Planning (胜战胜算): Translating information dominance into rapid decision-making using systematic, flow-chart-driven operational design and digitized combat checklists. Unified Command & Resource Integration (统战统保): Leveraging cutting-edge civil-military technology—including IoT (Internet of Things) and nano-sensors—to map defense mobilization potential directly into theater combat plans.
