CHINA-PLA: PLA INTENSIFIES TRAINING FOR JOINT INTEGRATED OPERATIONS
The South China Morning Post (January. ) reported that the PLA had increased joint operations and officer cross-training to boost war readiness. A five-year overhaul of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which ended last year, saw a restructuring of the command chain to make cross-service combat a basic approach for future operations. The PLA Daily reported on January 29, that to help train commanders and staff for joint operations, the PLA began its 2021 training programme by deploying army officers on naval vessels and seconding air force officers to the army’s rocket units.
