Recently

A certain brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Army

jointly with

a certain unit of the Eastern Theater Command Navy

organized full floating loading and unloading training in a certain sea area

to further hone amphibious combat skills

As dawn breaks on the horizon

the coastal training ground is already bustling

various types of armored vehicles are forming orderly formations

quickly completing equipment testing and inspection work

With a command from the commander

the amphibious vehicles successively drive into the sea

rapidly maneuvering on the water's surface

Full floating loading and unloading training

has a high level of danger and operational difficulty

boarding and disembarking are easily affected by waves and undercurrents

and a slight mistake could lead to sliding or scraping

At the training site

the amphibious vehicles find their direction amidst the wind and waves

the crew members hold their breath and operate decisively

the vehicles smoothly drive into the hatch

After boarding the ship

the vehicle commander quickly directs the crew to inspect the vehicle

from the driver's operation to the command of the vehicle commander

every link must be precise and accurate

After completing multiple waves of loading and unloading training

the crews quickly spread out in formation at sea

the armored vehicles rapidly change combat formations in the waves

with the commander's orders

they launch an assault towards the shoreline

This full floating loading and unloading training

further solidified the amphibious combat foundation of the officers and soldiers

and honed their maritime maneuvering capabilities

In the next step, the brigade will continue to focus on challenging training tasks

to be fully prepared for diverse missions

Joint land and sea operations, always ready for battle
