Cadres who specialize in armed work do not deserve militia epaulettes. Cadres who specialize in military affairs are mainly engaged in the internal management and work of the army, which is different from the militia who actually participate in military operations. Their responsibilities include personnel management, logistics support and equipment maintenance. Militia epaulettes refer to the symbols worn by militiamen belonging to local organizations of China Army.
