Cleaving Waves and Surging Forward! A Direct Look at the Maritime Training of People's Armed Police Officers and Soldiers

劈波斩浪！直击武警官兵海训现场

PLA Daily (解放军报) 12 June 2026

Summary

The Fangchenggang Detachment of the PAP Guangxi General Corps conducted high-intensity maritime combat training in recent days, focusing on enemy-capture drills, endurance, explosive power, and coordinated combat operations in the coastal terrain of its garrison area. The article documents a unit-level effort to close acknowledged gaps between routine garrison training and operational readiness in complex maritime environments — a recurring institutional problem the PAP addresses through periodic surge training cycles rather than sustained daily standards. Its value is as a baseline record of how a coastal PAP detachment frames maritime readiness requirements and the specific physical and tactical competencies it treats as deficient.

In recent days, the Fangchenggang Detachment of the People's Armed Police Guangxi General Corps, closely adhering to the requirements of combat-realistic (实战) troop training, and combining the terrain characteristics of the maritime area where it is stationed with actual mission requirements, organized officers and soldiers to conduct high-intensity combat-realistic training, with focused effort on forging hard-core capabilities and consolidating the foundation for carrying out diversified missions.

This maritime training centered on enemy-capture combat and comprehensive physical fitness, among other subjects. During enemy-capture combat training, officers and soldiers executed offense-defense transitions with tight coordination and applied tactics flexibly, genuinely and rigorously tempering their practical combat skills for subduing the enemy. Comprehensive physical fitness training targeted the reinforcement of endurance, explosive power, and coordinated combat capability, helping officers and soldiers break through their limits and consolidate their foundations, and honing the combat ethos (战斗作风) of tenacious struggle and sustained combat operations.

Through maritime training, shortfalls in day-to-day training were effectively remedied, officers' and soldiers' emergency response and combat capabilities in complex environments were comprehensively elevated, and the martial spirit and fighting courage (血性胆气) of officers and soldiers was further tempered. Going forward, the detachment will continue to advance combat-realistic troop training, steadily sharpen the capabilities needed to win, and build a solid barrier for the successful completion of all assigned missions.
