BEIJING, Oct 12 -- A workshop on the trial implementation of the China's new-generation military training outline was recently held at a PLA Air Force's unit.
The new-generation military training outline is characterized by various detailed lists. Seven divisions or brigades from the PLA Army, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, Strategic Support Force, Joint Logistic Support Force, and Armed Police Force had began to perform training in accordance with it on a trial basis since the beginning of this year.
The outline explores a task-oriented training model based on detailed operation missions, procedures and scenarios. According to an official at the Training and Administration Department of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the list-formatted military training outline is an important means to transform and upgrade China's military training, and also a major project in establishing a new type of military training system. To ensure its practicality and effectiveness, the CMC organs have organized pilot units to implement and verify it for the purpose of gathering hands-on experience and data for revision and improvement, and of setting an example for exploring and promoting the new training model.
It is learnt that the trial will last till the end of this year. At that time, these pilot units will compile their lists of pilot tasks, questions, and deliverables, as well as data on subject training and opinions on revisions. All services and the Armed Police Force of the Chinese military will summarize the results of the trial training and come up with their guidance methods.

BEIJING, Oct 12 -- Recently, a border defense company of the PLA Xinjiang Military Command on the Pamirs Plateau was connected to China’s national grid, which solved the company's difficulty in electricity supply and served to improve the troops’ duty and living conditions.
On December 21, 2016, the National Energy Administration and the Logistic Support Department of China's Central Military Commission (CMC) jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Power Grid Construction for Border Defense Forces. The first batch of construction projects was completed by the end of 2018, with more than 220 posts or units at company level stationed on plateau or islands being connected to the national grid. And by the end of 2020, the second batch was completed, with more than 500 border posts being connected.
Today, most border posts in China, as well as naval and air force observation and communication radar stations, have access to national grid, ranging from Changbai Mountain in the north, Yongxing Island in the south, Dongfushan Island in the east, to Kashgar Prefecture in Xinjiang in the west. Both military and civilian units are currently accelerating the third-batch power grid construction projects to ensure that all tasks will be completed on schedule.
The power grid construction for border defense forces has been integrated into China’s new-round rural power grid transformation and upgrading program, which effectively solved many problems facing the military including long construction cycle, and difficulty in coordination with multiple departments.
In addition, the training courses on construction and management of power grid and new energy, organized by the military in cooperation with the State Grid, China Southern Power Grid and Shanghai University of Electric Power, have also served to train more professionals in power maintenance for troops at all levels.
