The 137th Infantry Brigade carried out the "Shooting at a Field Operation Training Ground" training today, using simulated combat with real soldiers and live ammunition, and areas to practice field operation shooting. Such training enables officers and soldiers to become familiar with beach and shore battlefield situations when conducting shooting training with rifles and other light weapons, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of troops.
Xishu Beach was chosen as the shooting training ground. After the battalion commander issued orders, officers and soldiers quickly entered the shooting position in a low-profile manner. With the support of baffle plates, servicemen adopted standing and lying positions to shoot, and further combined other training modes as changing ammunition magazines and simulated trouble-shooting to familiarize officers and soldiers with rapid response shooting skills to improve the combat capabilities of troops.
The 137th Brigade indicated that shooting at a field training ground requires safety and security. Hence, additional land as well as a sea-water area control team were also organized into formation to ensure the safety of shooting during training, as well as security personnel being dispatched to implement control around the areas announced for shooting.
