　　On September 14, with the conclusion of an actual-troop drill organized by a brigade of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) stationed in Chinas Tibet Autonomous Region in an depopulated zone almost 5,000 meters above sea level, a new record of camping training on plateau was set.
　　The average elevation in Tibet is over 4,000 meters. The topography in Tibet is complicated and the climate is harsh and changeable. Many places are depopulated zones where human being never live or set foot. For camping training in the past years, the brigade took its troops to complicated and strange areas each time to extensively carry out adaptability training and explore training contents and methods with plateau characteristics.
　　Since late July this year, the brigade organized continuous high-intensity and highly-difficult training in uninhabited gorges, remote mountains and snowfield in succession, so as to further study the influence of different regions on combat operations, test the psychological and physiological changes of the troops in the depopulated zones, summarize the technical and tactical performances of all kinds of weapons and equipment in tough climate and improve the all-weather and all-field combat capabilities of the troops under frigid and oxygen-lacking conditions.
