Civilian Personnel in the Military

Civilian Personnel in the Military

Civilian personnel are an important source of military manpower, and an integral part of the PLA, as per the Regulations on Civilian Personnel in the Military as revised in September 2017. The regulations provide for a civilian personnel management system, including civilian personnel compensation and benefits schemes, which corresponds to and compares favorably with the national civil service and public institutions.

The military’s first-ever recruitment examination for civilian personnel open to the public was held in July 2018. The use of civilians in the military attests to progress in reforming the military’s human resource policies, and contributes significantly to improving the military’s personnel composition and development.   

文职人员制度

文职人员是现代军队的重要人力资源。2017年9月，国务院、中央军委公布施行新修订的《中国人民解放军文职人员条例》，将文职人员列为军队人员的重要组成部分，建立与国家公务员和事业单位工作人员制度相衔接、具有比较优势的文职人员管理和保障制度。2018年7月，中国军队首次面向社会公开招考文职人员。实行文职人员制度，是推进军事人力资源政策制度改革的重大创新，对优化军事力量构成、提高军事人力资源开发使用效益意义重大。
