The drill, dubbed Kuayue-2009, will be undertaken by troops from four military command areas, namely, Shenyang, Lanzhou, Jinan and Guangzhou.
The PLA has seven area command areas. The other three are Beijing, Chengdu and Nanjing. The Air Force and the Army Aviation troop will also send men and various aircraft to take part in the drill, the sources said. The drill is aimed at assessing and improving the PLA's overall combat capacity in the context of information warfare, the sources said. It will put to tests the PLA's capacity in command and decision-making, joint operations of land and air troops, operations in complicated electro-magnetic conditions, paratrooper assault operations, simulated battles, and comprehensive exercises by specialist units. |
