Observation of Military Camp | Red and Blue Swap, Refining the 'New Us'
2024-10-23
What is a qualified 'Blue Army'? They are opponents who deliver a fatal blow at critical moments, making you grit your teeth; They are reliable comrades who sit down calmly and analyze problems with you after the training; They are a clear mirror that allows you to see yourself and point out the direction of progress. The call for a realistic battlefield has driven a change in the form of performance training. When the "answerer" becomes a comrade in arms with whom they spend their days and nights, how should they "set the questions"? What does the given question want to examine? This is a question that the officers and soldiers of the launch battalion of a certain coastal guidance group of the navy have been thinking about during the confrontation training. They act as' sharpening stones' to each other, and the launch battalion's company and second company take advantage of the opportunity of task cycle rotation to serve as the blue side respectively. The dynamic transformation of identity urges the two companies to always anchor the battlefield and hone their winning tactics. The red and blue sides are engaged in a fierce battle across the vertical and horizontal lines, pursuing the same two words: victory. Time series rotation, on the annual growth roadmap, they learn from each other and embark on a joint growth of two companies. What should we do when the enemy knows us better than us? This is the first confrontation training of the second company serving as the blue side. Faced with the Red Army's slightly superior weapons, equipment, and personnel formation, Commander Zhou of the Second Company carefully studied the company's offensive strategy and weaknesses, and planned to give them a "stern blow". The rear of the formation was attacked by a small group of 'enemy' special forces The blue side took the lead in taking action, and the commander of the red side immediately organized a tank formation to transfer and, under the cover of the security team, circled to a backup location. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the launch site, there was a message of "data link interruption, suspected signal interference". Under the relentless attack of the blue side, the red side gradually became passive. The rhythm of the battle has been led by the nose, and the fatigue of the red side is gradually showing. Every counterattack organized by Captain Pang was easily resolved by Captain Zhou, like a fist hitting cotton. During the maintenance of signal equipment, the Red team was defeated in this confrontation due to the fact that this operation was their usual training weakness. The Blue team seized the opportunity to carry out a breakthrough and interference. At the review meeting, before they could sit down, the Red Army began to "voice their grievances": the situation of chain breakage is unlikely to occur, and the possibility of the enemy knowing their weaknesses on the battlefield is extremely low. The Blue Army won by relying on their familiarity with their own side, and this confrontation is not fair. Faced with the dissatisfaction of the red side, Zhou Lianchang retorted, "The probability is extremely low, which does not mean it will never happen." Launching an attack at this stage is precisely the careful planning of the blue side. In the midst of the dispute, the captain's words were decisive: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Who doesn't do everything possible to fully grasp the enemy's situation on the battlefield?" He left behind a meaningful rhetorical question: "What should we do when the enemy knows us better than us? This is a thought-provoking question presented to everyone. The future battlefield will become increasingly transparent, and whoever can gain more perception on the battlefield will have a greater advantage in outsmart their opponents. Commanders at all levels should adhere to the cultivation of good psychological qualities and excellent combat skills, be fearless in the face of danger, remain calm in the face of chaos, and be good at revising and adjusting plans in a timely manner according to changes in the battlefield situation, enemy situation, and combat process, always grasping the advantages of war. Returning to the dormitory, Captain Zhou wrote down a sentence in his notebook: "Use maximum certainty to deal with various uncertainties." Summarizing the experience of this confrontation, all officers and soldiers in the battalion took effective measures for targeted training. On the one hand, they organize training sessions for various types of information technology equipment operations, constantly exploring the construction of a combat situation sharing mechanism to ensure timely transmission of battlefield situation information to the end. On the other hand, they increase the proportion of commander strategic training, strengthen the cultivation of psychological qualities and command abilities under extreme conditions, and enhance the ability of officers and soldiers to flexibly respond to real battlefield environments. In the second confrontation, both the red and blue sides are watching closely. Attack the Red Army maintenance support vehicle Captain Zhou of the Blue Army took the lead in targeting the easily overlooked support vehicles. According to his judgment, there have been frequent field training missions recently, and the equipment support force is limited. Cutting off the only support force of the Red side will definitely achieve remarkable results. I didn't expect that the tank would "lie down", but the Red side didn't panic. The commander of the Red Army sent instructions through the vehicle mounted communication command system. A few minutes later, the backup plan was quickly activated, and the repair gunner synchronized the troubleshooting to put the tank back into battle. The maintenance support vehicle did not have such support capabilities before... "After the training, facing Captain Zhou's doubts, Captain Pang smiled calmly: The Red team had anticipated that the opponent would attack at this weak point and had formulated targeted measures in advance, which led to the victory of this confrontation. At the review meeting, the two listened to their comrades' arguments and discussions while summarizing their experiences and insights from the two red blue confrontations. Ensuring full mastery of enemy situation and situational changes throughout the entire process, being flexible and adaptable in combat, and always maintaining the initiative on the battlefield. This is the training direction that the launch battalion needs to continuously strive for. Skilled at finding the missing "horseshoe nail" of the opponent first, the hour hand points to 1am. Captain Pang looked at his watch, feeling a bit excited. In this day and night sea attack and confrontation, the company commanded by him served as the blue side, cooperating with a certain aviation unit to become the "examiner" on the battlefield. Between the sea and sky, data flows freely. The various combat units of the blue side closely cooperate with the air force, weaving a "sky net" and vowing to prevent the red side troops from smoothly maneuvering to the launch site. Inside the command post, the Dao Dao commands are efficiently transmitted through the information command link, and the buglers are prepared to confront at any time. From fighting alone to collaborating in combat, a platoon leader needs to have a clear understanding of multiple elements such as weapons, logistics, and personnel, otherwise they cannot efficiently cooperate with friendly forces. When asked by the reporter which element he believed was the most important, Captain Pang pondered for a moment and slowly spoke up, "The answer is hidden in the details." He emphasized the details because in a recent cross day night confrontation, the blue side almost "lost" Maicheng because they ignored a glimmer of light in the dark night - when he commanded his troops to flank the red side's position and was about to break through the command post, they were suddenly fiercely attacked, and all the officers and soldiers were "killed". He only learned during the review that a soldier forgot to turn off the cold light headlight in order to maintain the status of the observation equipment, and this small spot of light exposed the movement. Although horseshoe nails are small, they can make war horses lose their hooves and lead to defeat in war. In order to conceal their own position, officers and soldiers are exploring and mastering methods such as collecting, identifying, determining direction, disguising, and shooting targets at night. They are exercising the cooperation between drivers and commanders without using strong light, and accelerating the improvement of the night launch process. In adversarial training, even a slight mistake can lead to a tiny drop, a thousand miles away. In the view of Captain Pang, seizing the opportunity to defeat the enemy lies in finding the missing "horseshoe nail" of the opponent first. How to start from details on a systematic battlefield and seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy? The commander of the launch camp led two company commanders to summarize the "enemy friendly dialectics" of the launch camp through repeated red and blue confrontations. If the enemy is strong and we are weak, then we should use strategy, innovate our means of dealing with the enemy, and induce them to make mistakes. In a confrontation, facing the strong firepower advantage of the blue side, the red side counterattacked by using electromagnetic interference, cyber attacks, psychological warfare attacks, and other means, while covering up the "hidden warehouse" of the combat team, creating launch conditions for them and successfully destroying the target. This has also become a typical case of the weak defeating the strong in the red blue confrontation of launch camps in recent years. When the enemy is weak, we are strong. It is even more important to practice our basic skills and not give the enemy any opportunities to take advantage of. Officers and soldiers vigorously carry out basic training in precise operation skills, focusing on time difference and anti fatigue training, while quantifying training indicators with speed, precision, and accuracy. Everyone repeatedly rehearses the emergency response process and regards' blind operation 'as a new pursuit. Seemingly seeking opportunities in micro details, but actually controlling the whole picture in macro thinking Captain Pang said that in each confrontation training session, the "opportunities" left by the Red Army for themselves have become increasingly scarce, and the battlefield movements have become more refined. "This is the meaning of us acting as a 'sharpening stone'. Without setting limits for oneself or "drawing circles" for opponents, Captain Zhou's feeling was completely different as he played the blue team again after a year: the red team made rapid progress and wanted to create difficulties for opponents, which doubled the pressure on the blue team. Before this red blue confrontation, the guidance and coordination team specifically reminded that "commanders should fully consider the dynamic changes in the battlefield situation and make adjustments according to the situation." This reminder originated from a mistake in the previous training: during the transition of positions, the platoon did not accurately assess the situation of the "enemy" and wanted to naturally judge that the blue missile vehicle would follow the established route. They rashly took action and ended up hitting the trap set by the opponent. Anything can happen on the battlefield, never assume that the enemy won't do anything, but think more about what else they will do The battalion commander specially arranged for the blue side to create a "chain of special situations", forcing the red commander to find the "third route" for battlefield operations. Upon receiving instructions from the battalion commander, the blue team made consecutive moves. Halfway through the journey, they successively destroyed the main and backup roads of Red Team 1. This is so similar to the situation during their first red blue confrontation - the blue side's tricky attacks continued one after another. But after being honed through a series of offensive and defensive confrontations, the performance of the Red team this time made Captain Zhou unable to help but give a thumbs up. In a dilemma, the Red side strengthened the vigilance of surrounding roads and conducted regional investigations while adjusting the marching route through reconnaissance. This was the "third route" planned by the platoon leader when formulating the action plan, and it was an "alternative" to the alternative route. The blue side continues to create special situations, but cannot stop the red side from advancing in an orderly manner. Captain Pang told reporters that any situation on the battlefield can happen, and no one can guarantee that objective conditions will change or that the enemy will subjectively come up with any strange or unusual moves. Therefore, we can never be complacent with the preparations we have made, "do not set limits for ourselves, and do not 'draw circles' for our opponents". Past experience is just a reference This is a sentence that the commanders of both the red and blue sides remind themselves in their hearts every time they formulate a combat plan. Both sides on the battlefield have infinite possibilities, and innovation in warfare forms, combat styles, and methods of command will never stop. Guided by this ideology, the officers and soldiers of the launch camp promptly reset their mentality, conducted comprehensive, unrestricted, and gap seeking self analysis, and continuously took new steps in training. ——Develop the ability to adapt to complex battlefield environments. When encountering adverse weather conditions such as wind, snow, rain, and fog, officers and soldiers drive vehicles through asphalt roads, gravel roads, and mountainous areas to test their ability to move quickly under harsh conditions. ——To hone the ability of officers and soldiers to undergo cross disciplinary training and grow into versatile individuals. After repeated argumentation, they formed the training concept of "one specialized subject for conscripts, three specialized subjects for junior soldiers, and multiple subjects for intermediate soldiers", and trained buglers to become "versatile". ——Refining the ability of coastal guidance troops to integrate into systematic operations. They utilize the mechanism of coordinated training and support among different branches of the military to strengthen communication and coordination with submarines, aviation units, and radar units, and invite neighboring units to participate in the confrontation. Time flies, in the rotation system based on years, concepts such as friend or foe, superiority or inferiority, red or blue... gradually blur in the minds of officers and soldiers. In the eye contact of tacit cooperation and the lively summary and review, one word became increasingly clear in their hearts: 'We'. Red and blue exchange, refining the 'new us'. These two teams have lived up to expectations and have successfully completed live ammunition multiple times
