Commanding the sergeant team as the backbone of the army is an important part of the construction of the army's combat effectiveness. In order to strive to forge a comprehensive and strong command sergeant team. Recently, a brigade of the 71st Army Group Army organized more than 100 pre-quenching command sergeants from the grassroots level to carry out high-intensity and coherent assessments for several consecutive days to comprehensively test the actual combat level of pre-quenching command sergeants in complex battlefields.

High-intensity coherent assessment

Forge the command sergeant team

The first one is to conduct the 1.2-kilometer armed combination course. The trainees need to complete multiple sets of single training such as sprints, obstacles, transports and tactical actions to continuously, push strength and speed to the limit, and comprehensively temper the students' physical fitness and coordinated combat capabilities in the actual combat environment.

A Brigade of the 71st Army Army Lan Jianfeng: Usually we mainly focus on single-course training, and for the first time we are exposed to such high-intensity coherent combination training. Although it is harder and more tiring, it can indeed stimulate our endurance and explosiveness, and lay a solid foundation for the next step of practical training.

400-meter obstacle training is characterized by difficulty and high risk, and requires extremely high speed, endurance and coordination among trainees. Students need to quickly jump through deep pits, cross low walls, and drill through barbed wire within the specified time. After multiple rounds of assessment and more than ten kilometers of raids, the trainees must also urgently conceal and penetrate the key areas of the control.

Faced with the double test of time and task, they need to quickly determine the standing point and target point and arrive at the designated location in time. The assessment also includes courses such as queue command and lesson plan writing, which can connect with practical combat standards and help pre-order command sergeants quickly integrate into the combat position.

A Brigade of the 71st Army Army Luo Zhenxing: The training course for this pre-selected sergeant is closely related to the requirements of practical combat, simulates a realistic battlefield environment in daily training, constantly challenges the limits of trainees in high-intensity and coherence operations, fully tempers their fighting will and command and coordination abilities in the practical atmosphere, and also points out the direction for our next step of training.

How to become a commanding sergeant?

Commanding sergeants is the "multiplier" of the army's combat effectiveness and the core role of the "vanguard" in leading troops in wars. It realizes the seamless connection between "soldiers" and "generals" in grassroots command positions. They are not only technical experts who are proficient in professional skills, but also decision makers in tactical execution.

The pre-subscribed command sergeant is often called "quasi-squad leader". He is mainly selected from excellent corporals. There are also some privateers or newly converted corporals, which are an important reserve of combat talents in the army.

The training of pre-order command sergeants is to conduct concentrated intensive training for those who are to be promoted to command sergeants, and is the "melting pot" for forging command sergeants.

The training is mostly organized by brigade-level units. Through fully closed and systematic training, it is implemented in the steps of theory first, then practice first, basic first, then application first, and skills first, and command first. Through "high-intensity, practical" military training and "quantitative assessment, elimination throughout the process", the participating soldiers will be forged into compound talents with command capabilities, tactical literacy and management experience, and qualified command sergeants will be selected and cultivated.
