"Many officers and men participating in the exercise on the Mongolian side have rich experience in peacekeeping, and they have a strong sense of enemy situation, whether it is individual tactical actions or tactical formations." Li Xiaoguang, executive director of the exercise, said.
According to Colonel Edenbel, the leader of the Mongolian participating detachment, the Mongolian army has participated in 17 international peacekeeping operations, and the total number of military personnel who have carried out peacekeeping missions has reached more than 19,000. "Khan Quest" has become an influential multinational peacekeeping joint performance brand.
According to the arrangement of the exercise, the Mongolian detachment participating in the exercise used Chinese weapons and equipment to participate in the vigilance patrol exercise. Liu Feng, a Chinese coach, said that the Mongolian side's enthusiasm for training officers and men participating in the exercise is very high, and in just a few days, they have been able to skillfully drive the Chinese side's 92B wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, and the results of small arms shooting are also good.

On another site, a Pakistani infantry detachment was studying vigilance tasks in operations to protect key officers on the spot. Earlier, the members of the Thai engineering detachment participating in the exercise also drove Chinese bulldozers, excavators, loaders, dump trucks and other equipment at the relevant training sites.
In the distance, the reporter saw a member of the Thai sapper detachment who had just finished training, and as soon as he stepped off the chariot, he gave a thumbs up to our coach He Dengke. He Dengke introduced that the operators of the Thai engineering detachment are very adaptable to China's equipment, and also took the initiative to ask our coaches for advice on ways to improve the efficiency of operations.
"We are here for peace, for friendship!" Colonel Mariven, the leader of the Thai participating detachment, said.

All the guests who came were guests. In order to do a good job in all aspects of the support work of the foreign participating detachments, the Chinese side has set up a special support team, which mainly includes translators, cooks, medical personnel, coaches, and vigilance personnel.
Shao Junyu, head of the foreign affairs group, introduced that every type of commodity in the supermarket where the officers and men stationed by the foreign side participated in the exercise had a bilingual name and introduction in Chinese and English. Outside the residential area of the foreign participating detachments, a small physical training ground was specially opened. In order to ensure the dietary needs of the foreign participating detachments, not only the recipes were carefully prepared, but also the resident chefs were specially invited to train the cooks for a week. "Thai officers and soldiers said good when they ate it!" Wang Sai, the leader of the cooking team who has learned to make curry chicken, laughed.
"In the early stage, we organized medical technology and personal protection training, including wearing and taking off protective clothing, disinfection operations, domestic garbage disposal, etc., to ensure the safety of epidemic prevention for all personnel." Yue Xu of the epidemic prevention and control group told reporters.
When he heard that he wanted to draw personnel to participate in the support mission, Lu Yejian, a physician at the 82nd Group Military Hospital, applied for registration. "The officers and men of the foreign side participating in the exercise are here to maintain the goal of world peace, and we should provide them with high-quality medical services." Lu Yejian said.

The reporter walked the pen
The ability to fight comes from being prepared to fight

"The ability to fight comes from being prepared to fight." This sentence is most appropriately applied to the peacekeeping standby detachment of our army participating in the exercise. After arriving at the exercise site from different directions, they quickly entered the exercise state.
Only by not fighting an unprepared battle can we stand in an invincible position. Since its establishment, our peacekeeping standby force has been strictly trained in accordance with United Nations standards, always maintained a standby state, and is a well-trained, well-equipped and disciplined professional force.
"Only by being prepared can we be trouble-free, and only when we can fight can we stop the fight." Wang Jiayang, who has experienced peacekeeping, said that soldiers have only two states - fighting and preparing to fight. In 2019, while his peacekeeping force was on mission, it was surrounded by a group of unidentified personnel. At the moment of the first attack, the officers and men quickly handled the situation in accordance with the procedures of the drill, and the situation was calmed down. Wang Jiayang said that proper handling has benefited from solid preparations for the war. With regard to the various situations that may be encountered in the course of carrying out tasks in peacetime, our peacekeeping forces have made thorough plans, especially the concealed routes, approach routes, and means and methods of disposal. Therefore, when encountering a situation, you will not be busy.
Peace needs to be fought for, and peace needs to be maintained. Judging from historical experience, war superiority is often prepared. The more solidly prepared, the smoother the battle, and the more likely it is to "surrender without a fight."
Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Just as Shi Kang, an operational staff officer who once maintained peace in war-torn areas, said, wars are often "uninvited," and only by firmly establishing a strong sense of distress, crisis, and mission, always maintaining a state of combat readiness of "leading and ready to go," and truly possessing the ability and quality to fight and win wars can we keep war out of the door and safeguard peace.
