The county's armed forces department

keeps a close eye on the core needs for water rescue during the flood season

organizing core militia

to adopt a “theoretical teaching + practical operation” model

to conduct specialized training in rubber boat water rescue skills

In the theoretical class

the instructor explained the structure of the rubber boat

power operation, and key points for avoiding hazards in the water

In the practical session

the core militia focused on the rapid assembly of the rubber boat

approaching and departing from the shore, and high-speed and low-speed navigation

“Flood conditions are orders; training hard in peacetime

allows us to respond quickly in critical moments”

Shaoyang City, Dongkou County

The county's armed forces department focuses on the pain points and difficulties of flood prevention in mountainous areas

conducting flood prevention drills

With a command from the leader

filling sandbags and passing materials

constructing filter wells to control the “piping”

and maintaining the safety line of the embankment

Assault boat formations

conducted search and rescue operations and island rescues in complex waters

At the drill site
