Tempering the "First Days of Soldiering" (兵之初): PAP Guizhou General Corps Organizes and Conducts New Recruit Education and Training

淬火“兵之初”，武警贵州总队组织开展新兵教育训练

PLA Daily (解放军报) 28 July 2026

Summary

The PAP Guizhou General Corps is running its spring 2026 new-recruit training cycle, covering formations, physical fitness, basic tactics, grenade throwing, battlefield first aid, and close-quarters baton and shield work under a phased curriculum the corps describes as 按纲施训、科学组训 ('training per regulations, organizing scientifically'). This is standard new-recruit onboarding content; its value is as a baseline record of the PAP's current recruit training syllabus and the specific subjects — notably emergency baton techniques and police baton-and-shield drills — that the Guizhou corps treats as foundational for internal-security forces.

Translation

Recently, the People's Armed Police Guizhou General Corps rigorously organized and conducted new recruit education and training for the spring 2026 enlistment cohort. The General Corps adheres to the principles of "training in accordance with regulations, organizing training scientifically, seeking progress while maintaining stability, and advancing in a gradual and sequential manner (按纲施训、科学组训、稳中求进、循序渐进)," and has innovatively formulated a growth roadmap for new recruits, scientifically divided training phases, and carefully designed training content. It has organized and conducted combat-realistic training (实战化训练) subjects including formations and drills, military physical fitness, basic tactical movements, grenade throwing, and battlefield first aid, with focused efforts on forging the recruits' combat ethos (战斗作风) and consolidating the foundation of their military capabilities.
