Golden Eagle 01, I am now reporting the aviation brief to you... "In the deep winter of the northern frontier, at a field training ground, Chen Cong, the platoon leader of a reconnaissance platoon of a certain brigade of the 81st Group Army, concealed himself in the bushes and called for aerial fire support through the radio. In no time, two fighter jets flew low over the mountain ridge, accurately dropped bombs, and the flames illuminated the sky. The smooth call of air force fighter jets by individual soldiers in the army is a practical result of our efforts to address the shortcomings of integrated joint combat capabilities. ”Stepping off the training ground, Chen Cong introduced to the reporter the achievements of the brigade's cross service joint training. Fighting alongside air force units is not a new thing. ”Chen Cong said while organizing tactical briefings, "But in the past, it used to be 'you hit yours, I hit mine', and the 'fit' of cooperation was far from meeting the requirements of actual combat. Now, we have achieved mutual communication and tacit cooperation, achieving the effect of '1+1gt; 2'. ”Chief of Staff Hao of the brigade introduced that in the past period, the army units have called for air firepower support, often waiting for the air force guide to arrive and relying on the guide to command. The cross service confrontation training in the late autumn of 2024 is still fresh in the memory of the officers and soldiers of the brigade. At that time, the Red reconnaissance team went deep into the "enemy" and discovered a hidden armored assembly point, immediately requesting air firepower to strike. The target coordinate format reported by the army is not compatible with the air force, and officers and soldiers on both sides can only double check and confirm. By the time the air force guide arrived at the scene, the blue armored units had already shifted their positions, and the red side was counterattacked for exposing their positions, resulting in three soldiers being "injured". The battlefield situation is constantly changing, and even a slight delay may delay the fighter jet. Relying solely on air force guides results in a long information transmission chain and low response efficiency, making it difficult to meet practical needs. ”Chief of Staff Hao admitted that the army officers and soldiers do not have a deep understanding of airspace control rules, the technical and tactical performance of fighter jets, and the accuracy of firepower strikes; Air force pilots also have a vague understanding of the tactical rhythm, real-time battlefield perception, and front-line firepower requirements of ground forces. The command systems of both sides belong to different organizational structures, with inconsistent terminology standards, incompatible communication methods, and incompatible data interfaces... All of these have become "invisible barriers" that hinder the release of joint combat effectiveness. The new military training outline for the army clearly states that grassroots combat units must be equipped with part-time guides, and reconnaissance officers must possess joint air ground guidance capabilities. This requirement provides institutional guarantees for solving the difficulties of joint operations. Under the coordination of the group army, since last year, the brigade has broken through the organizational boundaries with a certain air force brigade that has been assigned for long-term coordination, and jointly carried out talent training for air ground joint guides. During the relevant training, the officers and soldiers of the brigade entered the Air Force flight tower and command post to learn airspace management rules, joint communication protocols, and fighter jet strike performance parameters; Air Force comrades went deep into the reconnaissance squad of the brigade to understand the ground situation analysis process, target recognition standards, and battlefield dynamic update mechanism... At the end of the training, both sides clarified 6 training standards, completed the group training and assessment of 7 training courses, formulated the "Tactical Guidance Officer Training Manual", and translated "Army language" and "Air Force language" into mutually understandable "joint codes" using unified terminology, standardized processes, and reusable templates, exploring a set of joint training mechanisms. Following the principle of seeking unity and mutual growth, shortly after the training ended, both sides organized a joint air ground confrontation training. In response to the difficulties discovered during the guidance and strike process, they jointly improved the training plan, studied collaborative strategies, and explored the "optimal" ideas. Army guides have shifted from "passive command reception" to "active judgment and coordination", while air force pilots have shifted from "one-way information reception" to "two-way perception of the battlefield"... This training has enabled the two units to gradually become familiar with each other's combat rhythm, tactical logic, and battlefield habits in a real combat environment. Afterwards, they repeatedly honed their skills in multiple complex courses, from night guidance to coordination in electromagnetic interference environments, from multi target phased strikes to rapid response to sudden targets on the fly... Each training session was a test of tacit cooperation; Every success is a step towards' joint victory '. After nearly a year of adjustment, they have established a normalized joint cooperation mechanism and relied on major training tasks to tackle key and difficult subjects. Not long ago, both sides organized joint confrontation training, and the brigade's air ground joint guide quickly completed operations such as establishing contacts, command handover, situational updates, and attack planning, guiding multiple waves of aerial firepower to carry out targeted destruction of high-value targets such as "enemy" ammunition depots and command posts. On the joint operations training ground, the awkwardness of "wall dialogue" disappeared without a trace, replaced by a collaborative scene of "same screen analysis, same frequency command, and same direction of force". Nowadays, in our combat command chain, air ground joint guides have become an important node for integrating battlefield information and implementing firepower strikes. "The leader of the brigade introduced that they will establish contacts with more military branches to jointly cultivate joint tactical guides. (New Society)
