Measures to enhance quality of training and combat readiness in 5th Naval Region

The 5th Naval Region is situated in an essential strategic sea of the Homeland. Fully aware of the assigned tasks, the Party Committee and the Command of the Region always attach great importance to leadership and direction over training and combat readiness, which is regarded as a factor directly deciding the Region’s synergy and combat strength. From reality in direction and training, the Region has suggested measures its units are adopting effectively.

The Region attaches great importance to promoting role of party committees and commanders at all levels in leading and directing training work, considering this as a factor deciding the successful performance of political tasks. Annually, the Region thoroughly grasps training commands of  Chief of the General Staff and Commander of the Service. It also directs party committees at all levels to issue particular resolutions on training task and combat readiness that clarify goals, tasks, level of demand, weaknesses and measures. On that basis, commanders, commissars, political commissars at all levels give tasks comprehensively, identify central ones and work out action plans to make changes in training and combat readiness. The Region has proactively innovated contents and methodology of training on the basis of studying reality and theory. Party committees and commanders at all levels have always discussed with one another, led and directed organs and units during training.

The Region has frequently attached great importance to building pure, strong party committees at all levels, enhancing their leadership and combat strength according to the 4th Central Resolution (11th tenure) on party building, linking the party committee building with the cadre staff strengthening, focusing on assigning tasks to each member of the party committee. The Region has proactively innovated training comprehensively, attached great importance to military training, political education, physical training, regularity building, with a focus on synchronous and specialized training. Following the motto of  “basic, practical, strong” training, the Region has focused on successfully implementing the breakthrough “basic training, mastery of weapons and technical equipment”, taking the tasks of firmly protecting national sovereignty over seas, islands, continental shelf and building “revolutionary, regular, seasoned, modern” Region as the goals for training. As cadres at all levels, the Region has directed that they be trained to enhance their capabilities, particularly staff-operation, training, organization, command, management, operation, collaboration to deal with situations, focusing on cadres at battalion and naval group levels. As for campaign-level cadres, they must be trained to grasp the Party’s military, defence guidelines, plots, tricks, and modes of operation of the opponents, regulations on water campaigns, tactics, and collaboration in the new situation, and also be good at combating in combat groups led by the Ministry and the Service.

As for technician staff, the Region has focused on improving their professional skills so that they could deal with technical breakdowns and master new, modern weapons and technical equipment. As for units, it has focused on improving regularity, elitism of each force and professionalism of troops. It has also attached great importance to raising technical, tactical capabilities and independent, on-spot defensive operation capability for group of forces stationed on coast and islands, capability to do combat training in the sea, mobility and operational collaboration in offshore seas under harsh weather conditions for vessel units.

To respond to complex developments in the sea, the Region holds that it is necessary to intensify training and combat readiness, meeting the requirements set by tasks in any situation. In this regard, the Region has directed units to proactively make and supplement operational plans and projects that are close to its tasks, opponents, areas, realities. On that basis, organs and units have both trained to raise capabilities to work with one another and command naval squadrons and groups, and seriously maintained regulations on duties, patrol, guard, and communications. Notably, units performing BM, CV tasks have proactively closely combined training with manoeuvres according to operational plans, particularly fighting exercises, patrolling, recon, rescue, to strengthen management of activities and resolution of complex situations in the sea.

Besides, the Region has attached great importance to inspection, reviewing and experience drawing after training, exercise seasons, in order to unceasingly improve quality of training. In this regard, the Region has directed organs of military training to innovate training inspection under the guideline “conduct both regular and unexpected inspections, assess a unit basing on its detailed results and training process”. Alongside inspection, the Region has seriously reviewed training to draw experience and indicate weak and strong points at all levels. This work has also helped set out goals and directions for next training seasons, making contributions to improving combined strength and combat readiness, meeting the requirements set by the task of firmly protecting national sovereignty over seas, islands, and continental shelf.
