1986年,辽宁省委、省政府开始实施扶贫开发战略,要求全省人民“服从大局见行动,脱贫致富我有责”。辽宁省军区迅速响应,向全省数百万民兵预备役官兵发出动员令,作出了把民兵参建尤其是贫困地区民兵参建的中心转向扶贫致富的重大决策。 In 1986, Liaoning provincial party committee and government began to implement the strategy of poverty alleviation and development, requiring the people of the whole province to “act in accordance with the overall situation and take action to eliminate poverty and get rich.” The military region of Liaoning Province quickly responded by sending a mobilization order to the reserve officers in the province’s millions of militia and made a major decision to shift the center where the militiamen took part, especially militia in poor areas to poverty alleviation and riches.
