It is currently the flood season

with frequent and heavy rainfall

to test the practical ability for emergency rescue and disaster relief

and effectively prevent and respond to the risks of flood disasters

The 82nd Group Army's certain brigade

conducted a special drill for flood prevention and flood control

closely aligned with real combat scenarios

setting up measures to block piping, constructing sub-dikes

and practical operations with rescue equipment as core subjects

to hone the professional handling skills of officers and soldiers

as well as their coordination level and equipment utilization capabilities

“Emergency assembly!”

The urgent whistle pierced the tranquility of the camp

Officers and soldiers responded to the order

quickly gathered their gear and boarded vehicles

completing deployment preparations in a short time

“Report to the command post

there is piping in the middle section of the dam……”

The command post promptly issued orders

and drones quickly took to the sky

to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the entire area of danger

accurately identifying hidden dangers in the river and dam

and relaying real-time information on piping locations

and weak areas of the dam

The command group combined reconnaissance information

to scientifically divide work groups

clarifying responsibilities and issuing tasks

Party members took the lead in forming a rescue assault group

skilled in using equipment

excavating diversion channels, layering fill materials, and compacting blockages

to construct the sub-dike work area

Everyone collaborated and divided tasks

filling sandbags and layering them for construction

to quickly address the danger

Various flood prevention equipment was deployed in turn

officers and soldiers practiced one by one

ensuring that everyone could operate and handle the equipment

They repeatedly practiced, checking for gaps and correcting mistakes

constantly improving their proficiency in equipment use

“With increased rainfall and frequent dangers

we must always maintain a state of readiness, like an arrow on the string, ready to be released”

the commander said during the drill summary

In the next step

they will focus on weaknesses

conducting enhanced training

refining tactics and rigorously practicing skills

to always maintain a high state of readiness

using solid capabilities to protect the safety of the people
