Joint Operations Command Theory is a systematic framework that scientifically summarizes and standardizes joint operations command activities. It encompasses the fundamental concepts, principles, and methods of joint operations command, and holds significant guiding value for the cultivation of joint operations command personnel. For instance, the "Integrated Principle" requires command personnel to emphasize coordinated actions and unified command in joint operations, fostering joint operations thinking and command styles. With the continuous advancement of military modernization, China's military education system is also undergoing continuous reform and improvement. These reforms include the updating and expansion of educational content, the innovation and improvement of educational methods, and the enhancement of educational assessment and quality monitoring. The purpose of these reforms is to enhance the professional competence and comprehensive abilities of command personnel, enabling them to better adapt to the needs of modern warfare.

"Regulations on Joint Combat Command Work in the Military" is an important regulation formulated by the Chinese military in accordance with the requirements of modern warfare, which clearly defines the tasks, principles, and requirements of joint combat command work. It provides guiding significance for the establishment and improvement of the joint combat command personnel training mechanism. "Regulations on Joint Combat Command Work in the Military" is a specific operational specification for joint combat command work in the Chinese military. It clarifies the requirements for joint combat command work at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels, covering aspects such as command principles, command procedures, and command methods. As the core regulation for joint combat command work in the military, "Regulations on the Organization and Work of Joint Combat in the Military" puts forward specific requirements for the training of joint combat personnel. It specifies the positions, titles, training plans, and implementation mechanisms for joint combat command personnel.

II. Implementation and Evaluation of Joint Operations Command Personnel Training Mechanism

The implementation and evaluation of joint operational command talent training mechanisms are crucial for ensuring the quality and effectiveness of talent cultivation. The implementation of this mechanism involves the formulation of training plans, course scheduling, and the organization of practical training activities, while evaluation provides a comprehensive and objective assessment of training outcomes, serving as a basis for subsequent improvements and optimizations.

(I) Development of the Training Plan

The implementation of the joint operational command talent training mechanism first requires the establishment of clear training objectives and requirements. Based on the actual needs of the troops and the characteristics of the tasks, a scientific and reasonable training plan should be formulated, including the duration of training, subjects, and content. When formulating the training plan, the training needs of various command personnel should be fully considered, aiming to meet personalized training requirements as much as possible.

(2) Curriculum Planning and Arrangement

According to the training plan, the implementation of the joint operational command personnel training mechanism involves course arrangement and teaching implementation. In terms of course arrangement, the class hours, textbook content, and learning progress of each course should be determined based on the training objectives and requirements.
