PAP Nanning Detachment Conducts Psychological-Behavioral Training to Help New Recruits Through the "Second Adjustment Period"

武警南宁支队开展心理行为训练，助力新兵度过“第二适应期”

PLA Daily (解放军报) 19 August 2026

Summary

The PAP Guangxi General Corps' Nanning Detachment has been running psychological-behavioral training (心理行为训练) for new recruits during inter-session breaks, using team events like 'drum-beating ball-bouncing' and 'crossing the electric grid' to build cohesion and manage stress. The article targets a specific institutional concept — the '第二适应期' (Second Adjustment Period), the phase after initial shock when attrition and morale problems tend to cluster — documenting how the PAP is applying structured psychological programming to address it. This is standard new-recruit welfare content; its value is as a baseline record of how the PAP frames psychological readiness as a prerequisite for combat qualification, not as evidence of a capability or posture change.

Translation

In recent days, the Nanning Detachment of the People's Armed Police Guangxi General Corps has actively organized new recruits to conduct psychological-behavioral training (心理行为训练) during breaks between training sessions, helping recruits relieve psychological stress, strengthen camaraderie among comrades-in-arms, and foster a positive atmosphere. The training incorporates team-coordination events such as "drum-beating ball-bouncing (击鼓颠球)" and "crossing the electric grid (穿越电网)," allowing recruits to build trust and develop mutual understanding through cooperation. By integrating training with recreation, recruits both released physical and mental stress and strengthened their sense of collective belonging, laying a solid foundation for successfully navigating the "Second Adjustment Period (第二适应期)" and growing into qualified combat personnel at the earliest opportunity.
