What is the process of reforming the clothing of the three military honor guards like?

On October 1, 1949, the day of the founding of the new China, many countries announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with our country. on October 16, our country welcomed its first foreign guest, the Soviet Union's ambassador to China, Roshen. Roshen was to formally present his credentials to Mao Zedong, and the central government decided to hold a welcoming ceremony with an honor guard and military band. Due to time constraints, the temporary formation of the honor guard did not have time to make a dress, when welcoming Ambassador Roshen, in order to show that the honor guard majestic, decided to wear a captured Japanese tweed military jacket, under the breeches, wearing boots, wearing steel helmets, holding bayoneted rifles of the Type 38.

June 29, 1953, the head of the public security forces signed an order to draw the public security guard division guard battalion and the second regiment of the third battalion of the formation of the honor guard, and in the field units to select the honor guard members, the formation of the People's Liberation Army honor guard.

When the honor guard was first established, it was a difficult period shortly after the birth of new China. Although the soldiers are from the army's excellent backbone, but the honor guard's clothing is no different from other troops, clothing fabric for the cotton flat cloth, the color of grass green, the left chest wearing a "Chinese People's Liberation Army" badge, the honor guard gun for the Soviet-style 762 rifle.

September 30, 1956, on the eve of the National Day, hundreds of thousands of people welcomed Indonesian President Sukarno on the road from the capital airport to Zhongnanhai. At the end of the procession, the three military honor guards in new-style uniforms looked particularly majestic in the sunlight.

After the welcoming ceremony, President Sukarno, accompanied by Mao Zedong, reviewed the newly uniformed army, navy and air force honor guards. It was the first time in the history of the honor guard that they were uniformed.

In 1955, our army first implemented the rank system, and the whole army uniform underwent a major reform, with a dress uniform and a regular uniform, referred to as the 55-style uniform.

The 55-style uniforms broke through the history of our army's single-format uniforms. It was from this uniform adjustment that the honor guard began to wear dress uniforms, the style of which was the officer's dress at the time.

In this uniform change, the guard of honor also from the original meet foreign heads of state only the army guard of honor to the army, navy and air force guard of honor, the guard of honor dress also from the army uniform to the land, sea and air three kinds of military uniforms.

June 1, 1965, with the abolition of the military rank system, the honor guard dress is also abolished, replaced by a unified uniform with the three military uniforms, cadres for the upper and lower four dugout bags, warriors for the two breast pockets, uniforms wearing a red collar, red cap insignia.

Three military honor guard in the experience of the first 10 years after the dress period, ushered in is up to nearly 20 years of no dress to wear the era.

Since the reform and opening up in 1978, the country's doors have been opened, and leaders of the party, state and army have been appearing on the world's protocol grounds to review the honor guards of other countries. In comparison, they all felt that "the costumes of our honor guards could be improved".

August 1, 1983, the three military honor guard officially issued a new style of protocol uniforms. From then on, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) also opened the prelude to the reform of the entire army's clothing.

Along with the clothing reform at the time, the army and air force honor guard members wear large-brimmed hats; naval warriors wear sailor hats, cadres wear large-brimmed hats. The top of the cap and the cap wall has a sign of the military branch of the dental floss and cap wall ribbons.

The three armed forces cap insignia are round, in the middle of the "eighty-one" five-star, the periphery is the wheat and gears, the sea, the air force, respectively, lined with iron anchors and flying wing pattern. Army and Air Force protocol suit shirt for the stand-up collar, sleeve head outside the sign of the military branch of the dental line and two yellow lines.

Naval soldiers wear shawl-style sailor uniforms. Naval cadre uniforms are the same as those of the army and air force. The pants of the protocol uniforms of the three armies have a dental line and two yellow lines at the center seam to mark the military service.

Ceremonial protocol uniforms for the Army for the brown-green; Air Force shirt for the brown-green, pants for the navy; Navy shirt for the white, pants for the navy. All three military honor guards wear shoulder insignia.

The new clothing material is wool-polyester blended Verdine. The reformed clothing is dignified, simple and generous, in line with our national customs and the traditions of our army.

In 1987, the leadership of the Military Commission, taking into account the diplomatic needs of the new situation, once again asked the General Logistics Department to reform the dress, but this time the reformed dress was eliminated soon after the trial.

October 1, 1992, the three armed forces honor guard changed to a new style of dress. This is the fourth dress reform of the three military honor guards.

The newly reformed dresses not only broke away from the style of the existing military uniforms at that time for the first time, but the colors were also changed from three to six, distinguishing between the military branches and ending the pattern of mixing the colors of the army, navy and air force, and at the same time raising the grade of the main material.

China has entered a new century, and the reform of the uniforms of the three military honor guards has also entered a new century.

July 3, 2007, the military uniform adjustment and reform work conference and the new style of clothing distribution ceremony was held in Beijing, the capital. The honor guard of the three armies, dressed in new uniforms and holding the August 1 flag, was at the forefront of the 13 new uniform display teams.

The new ceremonial protocol clothing, both with 07-style officer dress to maintain the basic unity, but also highlights the characteristics of the ceremonial protocol clothing, compared with the old-style dress, it is a transformation of the improvement. As with ordinary military uniforms, the color of the ceremonial dress has also been adjusted.

The army has changed from brownish green to pine branch green, which maintains the traditional green color of our army and adds the color of the uniforms of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. The navy and air force uniform color changes are smaller, respectively, from navy green, blue gray deepened to dark navy green, dark blue gray, so that the three armies more coordinated tone. The same as the new uniforms, ceremonial dress overall or inherited the PLA "red" elements, including the cap insignia, arm bands, national defense service chapter and many other places are reflected.
