New training outline
The general outline sums up the experiences the PLA gained from its intensive military training programs in the past three years, and is a revolutionary leap forward compared with traditional theories on military training.

Under the scheme outlined, officers and soldiers will receive separate training. In the past they was no difference in their training. Now officers will be taught more command skills.

Training quality to be emphasized
The new training method will focus on improving the quality of training, instead of focusing on how much time is used in training.

In addition, the outline is in loose-leaf type so that its contents can be revised and supplemented if necessary.

Militarists say that the outline is a milestone in China's military training. It shows the PLA has shifted its focus to the quality of training in a bid to boost its fighting capacity with modern science and technology.
