Three Days and Two Nights of Non-Stop Action! This "Pass" is Finally in Hand
Focusing on Preparation for Combat
Refining Elite Staff Officers
In the midsummer season
The 79th Group Army
Organized a training team for prospective staff officers
In unfamiliar outdoor areas
Conducting a three-day, two-night
All-element, high-intensity, uninterrupted
Comprehensive graduation exercise
Nearly 50 trainees faced multiple tests of physical fitness, skills, and strategy
Finally earning their "Battlefield Pass"
Establishing a solid foundation for their positions

At the start of the exercise
Under the order to transition to combat readiness
All trainees responded promptly
Quickly entering a state of readiness for combat operations
In a battlefield scenario constructed from real cases
They successively completed tasks such as document preparation
Situation assessment, operational calculations, and more
The pace of operations was tense and orderly

During the mobile assembly assessment
The exercise area featured complex terrain and dense vegetation
Along with high temperatures
The difficulty of operations significantly increased
But all trainees
Completed all assessment tasks within the 2-hour time limit

As night fell
The navigation exercise began immediately
The trainees set off in pairs
In the vast darkness
They used maps to determine their positions and plan routes
Systematically locating target points

The next day
The exercise entered the next phase
Tasks came one after another
In front of the sand table
The trainees spoke without notes, using standardized terminology
Faced with continuous random emergencies
Everyone quickly integrated intelligence information
Flexibly adjusted response plans
In dealing with unexpected situations
Honed their command and strategic skills

With the completion of the daytime orienteering course
This exercise officially concluded
The trainees calmly responded to various assessments
Simultaneously completing operations with command communication equipment
And interpreting aerial imagery
In the complex and harsh tests
They showcased
Strong military qualities
And a tenacious fighting spirit

Next steps
The training team will continue to focus
On a combat-oriented education approach
Optimizing the practical teaching system
Continuously cultivating
High-quality staff officers who are strategic and capable of taking on heavy responsibilities
