Reporters found that the most forward echelon of the “clear the way car” is a common personnel carriers, large-scale military maneuver past the scene when police clear the way gone.

“large-scale military maneuver, carloads of people and equipment and more, sometimes through downtown and residential areas, to ensure smooth march past, used to coordinate the traffic police forces to help clear the way, set the adjustment post.” Teachers Jiangyong Shen told reporters: “If the implementation of such emergency rescue and disaster relief missions, such an approach is needed, but usually have traffic police to clear the way training is clearly contrary to the demands of actual combat.” encamping this year, the division to break this practice, the required force self-maneuvering, not please the traffic police guidance, training of local staff are also not invited as a guide.

hidden room and board to go play, go to the first hurdle. Leave the “Wizard” of the troops can go smoothly? Reporters want to see what happens. Sure enough, the team moved into a situation soon.

“before Fangjizhen in the road, along the heretical bypass!” The radio came the command. Training staff with the car for Dong Rui said, this is their cutting-edge reconnaissance team is sent to dispatch troops.

“In the past, encountered such cases handled by the traffic police, army as long as the ‘go along’ on the line, and now rely on their own ‘explore’ a go!” Yuanwei Yu said, leave the traffic police and wizards, they a lot more tasks, the topography survey and geographical mobility, traffic conditions and social conditions to understand the people, even through to the customs, people’s religious beliefs should be clear that the emergency command of the troops is a training and mobility.

into the national highway, speed speed, skimming the Cliff Plateau soil out of the window too. “Second tier slow speed, three-tier shrink away from the car!” “Found in front of small enemies, anti-harassment unit out quickly before the enemy!” Echelon commanders constantly heard the radio command.

mobile unit is thought to follow the car take a turn, but this reporter suffered terribly: troops frequently interspersed between the various road one day change the march route six times, twice a night camping point change , climb 12 mountains, past the dozens of Xian Ai, the implementation of air defense on several occasions, forced military pursuit and other exercises.

“on the battlefield, who will clear the way for you? Close combat training, we must dare to break the unreasonable practice!” Jiang said teachers, field training this year, since the mobile unit has accumulated more than a thousand years, During this time a police car is not used, not used a private house, on the way up to 100% of self-protection, remote mobile unit capacity increased dramatically.

Editor: practice, the law is no explicit provision, but in the past have been implemented, can modeled for the practice or fact. Scientific and reasonable practice, to regulate behavior or even rise to laws and regulations; unscientific and irrational practices, is bound to hamper development. Practice is scientific and rational, but also a dynamic development. Some practices, the past is reasonable, but with the current vision and standards, perhaps Shen obstinate disease. Training ground for some practices, we have to look at the vision of development with the standards of combat. Any contrary to improve combat effectiveness and must be resolutely rejected.
