Speaking of tanks, you may think of the reputation of "King of Land Warfare" and "Iron Armored Lion", but you don't know that today's tanks also play a key role in sea combat, beach landing, etc. It is quite difficult for the "King of Land Warfare" to go into the sea. This issue of China Military Network explains to you how tank drivers can pass the level and upgrade to get the "ticket" for sea driving.

Newly trained drivers to drive tanks across the sea.
On April 1, Han Zonghao, a pilot of the synthetic battalion of a brigade of the 73rd Army of the Army, successfully passed the upgrade assessment and became the first batch of people in the battalion to eat "crabs" - the first batch of new occupants allowed to conduct maritime driving training in dangerous courses. In recent days, 10 new recruits and transferred non-commissioned officers in the battalion completed the training content in advance like Han Zonghao and entered the stage of professional maritime training. This is the new atmosphere brought about by them in line with the personal characteristics of officers and soldiers to change the previous training "step-by-step" model, based on the new outline, and distinguishing the levels and bringing new atmosphere to people's training.
"Basic training is the cornerstone of the combat capability of the troops, and it must be trained in practice." It is understood that in the planning of this maritime professional training work, in order to prevent the phenomenon of "cooking in one pot" and "going in one step" in basic course training, the brigade repeatedly argued that on the basis of strictly following the outline, it promoted the training pass upgrade model, guided each battalion and company to formulate detailed weekly training plans, arrange different training courses for different levels and majors, and assessed each course by content. On the sea training ground, the author saw on the training weekly of the battalion - "Driving: First, the coach organizes the restricted road driving on the sea; second, the coach organizes basic theoretical learning, teaching evaluation; third, the coach organizes internship courses such as troubleshooting and simulated driving..." The battalion commander Li Qiang introduced: "We organize training and assessments according to the 'three-step method', first theory, then internship, and finally actual car. Once each step of the assessment is passed, we can aim at the next one for upgrade training, effectively avoiding 'not enough' or 'not enough', and improving training efficiency." The recruit Han Zonghao studied auto repair major before joining the army, and interned in a local auto repair shop. He has solid theoretical foundation in mechanical principles and has rich practical experience in driving operations. After this maritime professional training began, his scores in various internship courses reached all the best. After passing the level and upgrading, he joined the real car training team and conducted sea driving training with other old drivers. Compared with the training cycle of new drivers in previous years, his time was reduced by more than half.
In order to strictly control the quality of training, they established an assessment team composed of the training guidance group, the battalion and company chief officer, and professional backbone. Through regular assessments, officers and soldiers with solid foundation and excellent grades can promptly transfer the training focus, and those who fail to pass the qualifications "return" to retrain, which not only prevents the growth of seedlings and prevents simple cultivation of top talents. From the training score list, the author can see that the results of the camp's maritime professional training courses have improved significantly compared with the same period in previous years.
