Phoenix TV:

My question is, what is the significance of parade training for real combat? How does it contribute to and enhance the troops' combat capabilities? Thank you.

Xu Guizhong:

Thank you for your questions. Training under rigorous and combat-realistic conditions has always been our military training tradition. In this parade, we are focusing on combat-realistic standards and joint operational requirements, using parade training to improve our joint combat capabilities.

First, strengthening joint awareness. This parade has a distinct characteristic of joint operations. This is an organic integration of different services and branches based on combat formations, representing the comprehensive application of multi-domain forces in modern warfare. We are organizing exchanges and mutual learning among different services and branches, strengthening the concept of joint operations and fostering a joint culture through synchronized training and integrated rehearsals.

Second, enhancing joint operational capabilities. The parade is a joint military activity spanning services, branches and military-civilian coordination. We have scientifically configured forces, precisely coordinated actions, and meticulously planned and controlled every partial rehearsal for each formation and echelon, along with every full-element, full-process integrated rehearsal. We have scientifically allocated forces, precisely regulated actions, and meticulously organized coordination. Through these efforts, we have ensured deep integration and cohesive unity across all operational domains and elements. Parade training brings together forces from various strategic directions and military service domains under unified command, training, management and support. Through actions calibrated to the meter and the second, we are strengthening command-and-control capabilities, information integration and tactical coordination. The training reinforces a sense of command, a discipline of collaboration and a professional demeanor, thereby further consolidating the troops' joint operational proficiency. Thank you.
