During the exercise, units focused on segmented training, enhancing command capabilities and coordination between infantry and fire support units, militia, and local armed forces, thereby effectively handling tactical situations and ensuring absolute safety. Furthermore, the communication system, target designation, and logistical and technical support were organized synchronously, meeting the requirements for mobility and combat in complex conditions, as well as fostering command methods and conduct among officers.
