民兵连长是基层民兵工作的具体组织者和领导者,是搞好基层民兵工作的核心和关键。因此,必须从思想上、组织上及健全工作机制上大力加强民兵连长队伍建设。《民兵工作条例》第十三条规定:“民兵干部由本单位提名,由基层人民武装部或者本地区军事领导指挥机关按照权限任命。”这是我们选配民兵连长的法律依据。在实际工作中,要把握选配这重要一环,基层民兵组织和乡、镇人武部必须互相通气、加强协 Militia commanders are the specific organizers and leaders in the work of grassroots militias and are the core and key to doing a good job of grassroots militia work. Therefore, we must make great efforts to strengthen the ranks of the militia’s commander on the ideological, organizational and sound working mechanisms. Article 13 of the “Regulations on the Militia” stipulates: “Militia cadres are nominated by their own units and appointed by the grass-roots people’s armed forces department or the military leadership in their respective regions according to their authority.” This is the legal basis for our matching Militia commander. In actual work, we must grasp the important link in matching and the grassroots militias and the township and town people’s military departments must conduct mutual ventures and strengthen the coordination.
