We knowUS military standardAfter 50 years of development since World War II, with the decreasing threat of war, the original system has become a major cause of resource waste. The focus of wartime management is different from that of non wartime management, and therefore the emphasis is also different. This is also one reason why the US military urgently needs to reform its standards. Now is an important moment for the Chinese nation, and the experience of US military procurement reform has certain reference value for our military procurement management and reform. It is necessary to think and reflect on the US military standard reform.

In the early 1990s, just as the military standards of the US military were developing into the most technologically advanced and complete system in the world today, with widespread influence worldwide, the US Department of Defense decided to carry out a comprehensive reform and completed the reform work in just a few years. At present, the US military and relevant departments have begun to fully implement and execute the new standardization guidelines and policies. The focus of the reform of military standards in the US military is prominent, with clear objectives and directions, following a predetermined reform strategy.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, the military standards of the US military, the former Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom have been regarded as the most advanced, distinctive, and representative military standards in the world. In the early 1990s, the military standards of the US military had developed into the most technologically advanced, complete system, and widely influential military standard system in the world today. But at this moment, the US Department of Defense and military decided to carry out a comprehensive reform of it. The US military attaches great importance to this reform, from decision-making departments to grassroots units responsible for implementing, formulating, and using military standards. The entire military has reached a high consensus on the reform, and in just a few years, basic policies and supporting measures for the reform have been formulated;. At present, the US military and relevant departments have begun to fully implement the new standardization guidelines and policies.

The reform of Russian military standards (which Russia inherited from the former Soviet Union) and British military standards also followed closely behind the US military. Although it was not as strong as the reform of US military standards, the management mode, overall policies, and system after the reform basically followed the ideas of the US military standard reform. This article will focus on summarizing the experience of the US military standard reform.
