PLA Chinese Army deploys new support equipment to enhance combat training in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.

According to a report by the Global Times on June 12, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has introduced new support equipment at the training ground located in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, situated in Xining, Qinghai Province, China. This high-altitude plateau, at an elevation of 4,700 meters, has received support modules designed for oil, medical services, camping, and supplies, which serve to provide crucial emergency assistance to mobile troops during their operations.

These support modules were transported over a distance of nearly a thousand miles to the configuration area on the plateau. Swiftly, an effective joint logistics base was established, enabling comprehensive and timely logistics support across the entire field and at various levels.

The deployed devices in this base not only boast advanced performance and multifunctionality but also cater to the daily training and living requirements of soldiers. They address crucial needs such as food, shelter, and medical services, significantly mitigating the challenges of combat training in this demanding plateau environment.

The combat operation camping cabins, designed for mobility, are equipped with features such as air conditioners and folding beds. This ensures that soldiers can experience a comfortable living environment regardless of the plateau's volatile climate, keeping them warm in winter and cool in summer.

Furthermore, the shower shelter provides hot water within three minutes, allowing a large number of soldiers to wash and shower in a relatively short time. The food processing shelter is equipped with fully automatic cooking robots, minimizing meal preparation time for the soldiers.

To address altitude-related challenges, the camp is equipped with oxygen tanks that swiftly relieve soldiers of discomfort caused by altitude hypoxia. These tanks can be continuously refilled with oxygen. Additionally, a facial recognition system and infrared surveillance cameras operate around the clock to monitor the camp and its surroundings.

In addition to the camp's living support facilities, the logistics unit operates various refueling vehicles to meet the demands of combat troops and conduct rapid emergency refueling operations. Accurate data on fuel consumption for different types of equipment is collected to accumulate experience in fixed-point fuel support.

Wang Ansheng, a deputy commander of a brigade at the Xining Joint Logistics Support Center, stated, "By pushing the support force to the front line, we aim to address the practical requirements of combat scenarios, thereby enhancing the support force and the overall combat effectiveness of the army."
