A certain regiment of the Shannan Military Sub-district in Tibet was rescued on the battlefield, and it was not for the sake of war

A regiment of the Shannan Military Sub-district in Tibet

Battlefield rescue, for the war is not to see

Liu Xingcheng and special correspondent Li Guotao reported: On 10 January, a fierce battle was fought in a real-life confrontation exercise in a certain regiment of the Shannan Military Sub-district in Tibet. At the end of the exercise, the battlefield rescue team, which originally had an evaluation score of "excellent", was re-evaluated by the superior assessment team, and the final score was judged to be "unqualified".

Why is there such a reversal? Originally, the directorial department deliberately reduced the difficulty of rescue of the battlefield ambulance team, deliberately reduced the degree of injury of personnel, and reduced the number of wounded. Most of the injuries are easy to deal with "skin trauma", and the number of wounded is also "just right" within the range of the battlefield ambulance team. This situation has attracted the attention of the party committee of the regiment.

"Practice for battle, not for watching." This practice not only violates the requirements of the new outline, but also does not test the true level of battlefield rescue. The regiment party committee found that this phenomenon existed to varying degrees in the exercise, and after full discussion with the assessment team, it was decided to re-"sieve" the assessment results.

"If we don't practice in a down-to-earth and hard-fought manner in peacetime, if we really start a war, the effect of battlefield rescue will be greatly reduced." For the final result, most officers and soldiers are supportive. However, some officers and men raised questions: The drill is not really a war, is it necessary to toss it so much? The answer of the regiment party committee was: Yes!

After the drill, the regimental party committee promptly organized a review and instilled in everyone the concept: "Bullets on the battlefield will not bypass the rescue team, and only through strict training and practical training can it be possible to save well and deliver quickly." According to the requirements of the new outline, they sorted out more than 10 problems that the rescue process was unfamiliar and the rescue efficiency was not high, and carefully supervised the health personnel of each unit to implement training from difficulty and strictness, and timely accepted the training results.

A few days later, a live-fire drill was again conducted at the regiment's training ground. In the face of the "enemy's" concentrated firepower strike, some of the personnel were "seriously injured," and after receiving the notice, the battlefield rescue group immediately organized an ambulance convoy to rush to the scene to give first aid to the "wounded." The number of "wounded" exceeded the load, and the hygienists urgently coordinated the rescue materials and dispatched the ambulance personnel..." Although the drill only reached the passing level, many shortcomings and weaknesses were found. Next, we will make up for the shortcomings of ability in time according to the problems exposed in training. Zhang Yuan, a member of the battlefield rescue team, said.
