The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) website has published an article on a new “integrated training platform” at the PLA’s southern theater air force base. Below are excerpts from the article:
A military base under the Southern Theater Air Force has established an integrated training platform. By using scenario-based design, modular groupings, military system-based confrontation, mission-oriented command, and autonomous coordination, the base aims to improve the effectiveness of combined operations and enhance the quality and efficiency of training. This initiative further promotes regularization, diversification, and combat realism in integrated training.
The way the training works is that one military branch leads the efforts with multiple branches coordinating. In this base, the air force branch leads the training.
Before each training session, the base headquarters sets the operational scenario and mission objectives. Air force units in the region take the lead in integrating training content, forces, areas, schedules, and organizational needs across various military branches. They carefully design typical missions and confrontation styles, clearly define training topics, participating forces, designated areas, logistical support, and implementation methods. Participating units collaboratively develop training plans, coordinating both regional and external multi-branch military forces.
Training activities include various methods of joint war planning, contingency mission planning, and rolling and updating plans. Relying on a “cloud + terminal” command system, the base enables real-time situational awareness, dynamic plan adjustments, and precise outcome evaluations. This helps units explore solutions to challenges in system-based training, continuously improve training models, and enhance combat capabilities.
