PLA combat engineer units across multiple formations recently completed a multi-subject live demolition assessment designed to test psychological resilience and obstacle-breaching proficiency under simulated combat conditions. This is standard periodic skills certification for combat engineers; it documents the assessment cycle and the PLA's framing of engineer training around 'actual combat requirements' (实战化要求), but the article names no specific units, locations, or scale, leaving the scope of participation unknown.

The Chinese PLA has recently organized its various combat engineer troops to conduct multi-subject live demolition assessment in line with actual combat requirements. The assessment honed the combat engineer troops' psychological resilience, technical and tactical proficiency, thereby strengthening their emergency response and comprehensive obstacle-breaching capabilities in complex battlefield environments.
