Forging a 'Vanguard Force' for Emergency Hazard Response: This Concentrated Training Was 'Packed with Substance'

锻造应急排险“先锋队”，这场集训“干货满满”

PLA Daily (解放军报) 1 June 2026

Summary

The PAP Guangxi General Corps ran a concentrated safety officer training course focused on flood control, earthquake response, and secondary disaster prevention, using multi-hazard compound scenarios and outside instructors from meteorology, seismology, fire services, and medicine, with a site visit to a local fire and rescue special operations station in Liuzhou. The article documents a structural gap the PAP is actively working to close: grassroots safety backbone personnel lack the standardized emergency response proficiency that civilian professional rescue teams have developed, and the unit is borrowing civilian doctrine, procedures, and benchmarks to compensate. The 'bringing in and going out' model and explicit benchmarking against local fire rescue standards extends a visible pattern of PAP units using civil-military integration as a force multiplier for disaster response competency rather than developing equivalent capability organically.

Recently, the People's Armed Police Guangxi General Corps 'Four Competencies' (四会) Safety Officer Concentrated Training Team, grounding itself in the complex and severe security situation, conducted targeted specialized practical training in flood prevention and flood control, earthquake response, and secondary disaster prevention. Focusing on the core capabilities of 'competency in assessment, competency in early warning, competency in hazard clearance, and competency in instruction and guidance' (会研判、会预警、会排险、会帮教), the training used exercises to promote learning and to strengthen capabilities, comprehensively improving the ability of grassroots safety backbone personnel to fulfill their duties in responding to sudden natural disasters, and solidifying a firm defensive line for the safety and stability of the force.

During the concentrated training, multiple realistic and complex sudden-emergency scenarios were established, with various hands-on practical subjects integrated throughout the entire training process, simulating multi-hazard compound sudden-onset situations to practice response, coordination, and adaptability.

The training team continued to deepen the two-way instruction model of 'bringing in and going out' (请进来、走出去), inviting local experts from the fields of meteorology, seismology, fire services, and medicine to conduct on-site instruction. Drawing on cases involving Guangxi flood-season disaster conditions and Liuzhou earthquake response, they explained emergency knowledge, equipment operation, and coordinated rescue techniques, enhancing the standardization and professionalization of grassroots safety prevention and emergency response capabilities.

At the same time, the unit organized trainees to visit and observe the local fire and rescue special operations station, benchmarking against professional standards to identify gaps and remedy shortfalls, and advancing the mutual alignment of military-civilian rescue standards, procedural integration, and force coordination. 'The modular rescue and refined response model of local professional teams is very much worth our study and reference,' said trainee Geng Yu, who came away with much to take from the observation visit.
