People's air defence is a national priority, a national strategy and a long-term strategy。
The building of a strong modern people's air defence system requires the participation of society as a whole. It is often said that civil defence is the defence of the nation. So, what exactly does defence, human defence and civil defence mean? What difference does it make
• national defence
“defence” means military activities carried out by the state in defence of and resistance to aggression, armed subversion, terrorists, etc., and in defence of the sovereign unity, territorial integrity and security of the state, as well as military-related political, economic, scientific and technological, diplomatic, educational and cultural activities。
National defence comes with the emergence of the state and serves the interests of the state, including armed construction, defence institutions, military science and technology and industry, defence engineering, military communications, human mobilization, defence education and defence legislation. From the supreme head of state to every citizen, from the military to the political, economic, cultural, educational, scientific and ideological spheres。
• human prevention
The “human defence” of people's air defence is a measure and action to mobilize and organize the population against enemy aerial attacks and to eliminate the consequences of air strikes. The main tasks of people's air defence in time of war are the timely issuance of air defence alerts, the protection of key targets, the organization of mass evacuation shelters (hidden) and the organization of the elimination of the consequences of air strikes. The aim is to protect people's lives and property, reduce national economic losses, preserve the potential for war and support long-term warfare. People's air defence, combined with land-based air defence, field-based air defence forces and forming a national air defence system, is an important component of modern national defence。
Human defence is a unique name for our country and belongs to the ministry of defence and forms part of our defence system. The difference between national defence and human defence is that national defence is a political and military concept and that human defence is a concept aimed at the general population。
The main task of human defence is to ensure that the country has adequate civilian war-time air defence systems through participation in local construction planning. This system consists of four components: human defence works (terrestrials, underground buildings, pits, etc.), human defence systems (alerts, training, extension, etc.), professional human defence teams (communications, command, security, medical, etc.), military coordination (the responsibility of the ministry of people's armed forces)。
• civil defence
“civil defence” is a short term term for civil protection. Some states refer to war-time operations to protect the population from enemy air strikes, protect the security of the population and respond to disasters in general as “civil defence”. In peacetime, civil protection functions are developed as non-war disasters (natural and accidental disasters) threaten the country's economic development, as the functions of civil protection in times of war expand, referring to the mobilization and organization of mass air strikes, disaster relief measures, relief operations and disaster prevention and mitigation activities. Civil defence and human defence are linked and distinct。
The difference between civil defence and human defence is that civil defence covers a wider range than human protection。
Human defence, which is specifically designed to combat air strikes in time of war, covers only air defence in time of war, with a relatively single function, while civil defence has not only the characteristics of air defence in time of war, but also of relief and disaster prevention in time of war。
The civil defence system is an important means of maintaining production in times of war and an important safeguard for the conduct of national military operations。
