最近几周,中国人民解放军进行了一系列军事演习,演练两栖作战能力。
Military drill就是“军事演习”。近期举行演习的包括南京、济南、成都、广州四个Military Command Area(军区),分别进行了live-ammunition drill landing combat troops(作战部队登陆实弹演练)和amphibious landing drill(两栖登陆演练)。演练模拟了一系列场景,包括infiltrating an uninhabited island(潜入无人岛)、 fighting in various settings on the island(岛上各场景作战)、clearing land mines (清理地雷)以及occupying an enemy command site(占领敌方据点)等。这一系列军演主要是为了演练joint-operations capability(联合作战能力)。
