(Washington Composite Television) The newly established coastal combat regiment of the US Marine Corps recently invested 10 days of exercise recently. Testing the Pentagon's combat concept that may be proposed in the future with China, and will intensify the exercise in the next few years.
According to the New York Times, the Marine Corps in March last year in Hawaii, the third coastal combat regiment founded the 7th regiment with its home advantages and more people in the simulation combat exercise to test the combat capabilities of new units.Six U.S. military generals went to the exercise area to inspect, showing the emphasis on the exercise of the military.
The exercise is at the Twentynine Palms base and three other bases at 29 Palms Village, South California to simulate the unknown Pacific Island chain.
29 The training space of the Palm Village Base is 1200 square miles (about 3108 square kilometers), which is larger than the sum of all other training bases of the Marine Corps.
Two troops finally played 19 kilometers apart at the 29 Palm Village Base for offensive and defensive battles.The coastal combat team stabilized the position, repelled the opponent, and achieved victory.
It is reported that the third coastal combat regiment will conduct multiple combat exercises in the next two years, with a number of about four or five times that of the general infantry regiment.It will exercise in the Philippines in April, which is a major test of testing combat strength.
The third coastal combat regiment learned in Hawaii and California's practice, which will benefit from the 1225 Binhai combat regiment scheduled to be established in Okinawa, Japan in 2025.
The U.S. staff believes that if fighting with China, the battlefield may be on the first island chain, that is, from Okinawa, Taiwan, extended to Malaysia, and covering the controversial islands of the South China Sea.
General Berg, commander of the U.S. Marine Corps, said that the U.S. Indo -Pacific Command in Hawaii has determined many strategic places in the ocean and many islands that can cover these strategic places.
The offshore Marine Corps can act as an observer, pass the position of the enemy forces to the US fighter aircraft, warships or submarines to attack, or the Marine Corps launches its own operations.
Berg said that the Marine Corps is learning the use of confidential surveillance technologies that can only be used in the past to monitor the enemy's every move.
He also said: "We must forget the training methods received in the past." He said that the Marine Corps infantry on the battlefield 20 years ago usually passed the radio return commander every hour."When you have not received the news of the Marine Corps for a few days, you must have sufficient trust in them."
The Marine Corps believes that the future battlefield will be very different from the war after the 2001 Terrorist attack.The current enemy and civil reconnaissance satellites fly over their heads. As long as anyone opens a small radio or mobile phone, it may be locked and eliminated by long -range rockets and missiles.
For the development of China's military power, Berg reminds that the Chinese Navy is expanding the scale of deployment every year. "This is not only reflected in their complexity, but also the distance they covered." He said that the Chinese navy is just like the US Navy.In the form of combat groups, destroyed ships and other warships escorted the aircraft carrier.
