On Normalization

Mao Zedong pointed out that in line with modern equipment, it is necessary to formalize the construction of troops, which requires the implementation of a unified command, a unified system, a unified establishment, a unified discipline, and a unified training, which requires the close coordination of all military departments and services.

To this end, we need to overcome the lack of concentration, disunity, lax discipline, phenomena of simplicity and past guerrilla habits which were correct in the past but which are incorrect now, instead we should strengthen the overall work and overall command and lead the work of cultivating organized, planned work, accuracy and discipline which should be cultivated through education and training.

This new policy laid the basis to create the important conditions, was indispensable for building a regular and modernized national defense force.
