15th Airborne Corps is testing their vertical envelopment/air mobility capability

The 15th Airborne Corps (ABC's) organic helicopter regiment was first revealed during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake rescue work and then by a high profile fly-by during the 60th national day celebration.

It is now time for the 15th to test its newly found air mobility assault capability in a large military exercise. The advantage of air mobile assault over airdrop are many: ranging from entire unit delivery in one place--which immediately allows combat-readiness, precision resupply landings, to on-station fire support from helicopter gunships. In time, it will be interesting to see if a small portion of the 15th ABC will be converted into air-cavalry to enhance the corps' mission profile.

Since the beginning of the training of the new year, a troop unit of the airborne force under the Air Force of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has organized the comprehensive exercise of live shell, actual-airdrop and actual-explosion strictly in accordance with the new Outline of Military Training and Evaluation. During the exercise, it stressed training on such subjects as command and control, airborne landing and airdrop, fire strike and comprehensive support, in a bid to enhance the core military capability of the troops. Shown in the pictures are some scenes of the troop unit in training.

it is a shame that PLA still do not have birds comparable to IL-76 that can be built in China.

Brother, does China have this kind of ground attack aircraft? And what advantage does it give, if you have it?

Yesterday, I was discussing about it with someone.

You two completely mis-read my write up, the PLAAF is working on Helo-insertion, not air drops. three months ago (Nov 2008), the PLA 31st Group Army formed the PLA's PLA's First Heli-Assault Battalion BattleGroup, now the PLAAF is also working heli-assault, this could mean a major break in the PLA's "jump doctrine". Believe me, Professionals are monitoring this development very closely.

The ex was not about air drop, but rather focus on air assault.


Anyways, here is the follow up.

PLA Air Force pushes forward logistics training reform
Here is a follow-up to the 15th ABC mobility air assault military exercise from the PLA Daily. As a general rule, greater military capability requires even greater investment in logistics.

Even the PLA Daily, a Chinese government mouthpiece, remembers the old military maxim -- Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.

　　The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) makes efforts to push forward the reform of logistics training patterns characterizing real battle-purposed large scale training held at training bases with IT application. In early January, the PLAAF Logistics Department successfully staged drills of some training subjects including support for multi-types of aircraft, airfield bomb clearance and rush repair and transportation of special equipment under complicated conditions.

　　The PLAAF Logistics Department has take a series of down-to-earth measures to promote the transformation of logistics training to meet the demands of logistics support by the troops in fulfilling diversified military tasks.

　　Firstly, the department has strengthened the training of such subjects as aerial transportation in medical rescue operation, emergent material conveyance by air and airborne mobile logistics support.

　　 Secondly, it has launched a pilot program of building the large comprehensive training base where various training resources are optimized and integrated so as to realize comprehensive integration of simulated training and command training, command training and logistics training, tactical training and equipment operational training to push forward the systematic and scale development of logistics training.

　　Thirdly, the department encourages the servicemen of logistics professions studying in the military academies and the Military Vocational University of the PLAAF to learn more IT knowledge.

　　 The PLAAF Logistics Department eyes the interaction and fusion of logistic combat training and routine logistics support. The logistics units under the department are required to embed training subjects in daily support for the purpose of examining the training effectiveness in support actions and improving support ability through training.
