Research on the mechanism of contractor support for new-type equipment

One of the current trends in most armies of the world is to reduce the size of the military, but this may cause serious problems in manpower for equipment support.

This paper discusses the necessity and feasibility of using contractor support for new-type equipment based on the requirements for adapting the Chinese military to high-tech war, the requirements for achieving transformation in military affairs and the requirements for civil-military integration in equipment support.
