Recently

the Naval Rescue Brigade of the Southern Theater Command

organized meticulously

specialized training for aviation rescue personnel in harbor diving

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, leaping into the void

This is the most striking charging posture of aviation rescue personnel

In the depths of the ocean, conducting search and rescue

is also the most realistic operational norm for aviation rescue personnel

This specialized training

is based on a real battlefield environment with targeted instruction

aimed at specifically addressing

various challenging issues in underwater rescue

After parachuting into the water

and being swept by the waves

the parachute lines can easily entangle the body and equipment

How to quickly free oneself from entanglement in the surging waves

to accurately determine direction on the vast sea surface

to conserve energy in low temperatures and rough seas

and to efficiently carry out operations

are the practical challenges this training aims to overcome

During the training, team members relied on signal ropes for coordinated efforts

to accurately perceive their position underwater

while also simulating special situations

to conduct underwater equipment repairs

in an environment close to actual combat

to hone key capabilities in coordination and emergency response

Aviation rescue

with its rapid and efficient forward speed

has unique advantages in emergency rescue operations in the mid to far seas

and is an important component of the

integrated rescue system

This training further solidified

the combat capabilities of aviation rescue personnel

laying a solid foundation for forging a

rescue force that is always ready and can respond at any time
