With the Marine Corps in place, the pace of the exercise is also approaching, and the combat readiness of both sides has also been adjusted to the highest level.

At present, the Blue Army unit is a "division" level unit composed of the Xuefeng Regiment led by Wang Chengjun, the first battalion led by Gao Cheng and Yuan Lang's squadron, plus the professional Blue Army troops on the Korla base.

On the side of the Red Army, it consisted of the 164 Brigade of the Marine Corps. Since its formation, the Marine Corps has developed into an amphibious combat force capable of rapid response, which is composed of amphibious reconnaissance troops, marine infantry, armored troops, artillery, missile troops, airborne troops, anti-chemical warfare troops, communications troops, and engineering troops.

The battalion-level units under its jurisdiction include three marine battalions, one armored battalion, one artillery battalion, one amphibious combat vehicle battalion, and one communications battalion, and each marine battalion has three marine companies, one antiaircraft machine gun company, one mortar company, and amphibious units.

Units like theirs are only available on the Marine Corps, such as the Army or Air Force, and there will be no similar formation.

The Marine Corps is a common branch of the navy in the world, mainly responsible for the tasks of crossing the sea and landing and launching amphibious assaults against important targets along the enemy's coast.

Because it has to "fight to the death" with its opponents on land, it itself can continue to be subdivided into many arms, such as armored troops, artillery troops, signal troops, and even aviation troops.

Marine Corps aviation units are basically shore-based air units, and most of them use coastal bases or naval air stations as activity bases, but they can also be transferred to aircraft carriers and other large ships to carry out combat support missions in wartime.

The wing is the highest unit of the Marine Aviation Corps, with brigades and squadrons under its jurisdiction. At present, there is a total of Marine Aviation Wings on the Marine Corps side, and the establishment of each Marine Aviation Wing ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 people.

The formation of a wing is mainly determined on the basis of combat formation, but the standing structure is mainly a headquarters and a headquarters squadron, an aviation control group, a support group, and four aviation groups, with 20 formed squadrons and nearly 200 aircraft of various types.

At the same time, it is called the Marine Corps because its main mobility and fire cover depend on the surface ship and submarine forces of the Navy on which they are boarded, that is, it needs to be closely coordinated with other branches of the Navy.

Of course, there are always exceptions. On this earth, it is not for nothing that the Marines run so far away that they can't see the sea at all, for example, the lighthouse nation with the strongest Marine Corps.

Although the US Marine Corps, which has more than 200,000 troops, is nicknamed a "fourth-class person," it is equipped with all arms and advanced equipment, and its strength is enough to make the overall military strength of ordinary countries inferior.

And because it maintains a high level of combat readiness all year round, the government of the lighthouse country often uses it as a fast-reacting army force, so it is not surprising that the "marines" once appeared in the inland highlands of the Middle East.

Based on this, the Marines of the Lighthouse Nation are often considered the fifth branch of the military in their country. In particular, after the end of the Cold War, the navy of the lighthouse country was no longer in a panic with its opponents, and it was worried that its budget would be cut and that it would be "unemployed." It even calculated the strategy of "moving from sea to land" and tried to put into practice the logic of "fighting whoever you want" at any time.

The use of the Marine Corps inevitably leads to cognitive biases, believing that the Marine Corps is a purely offensive service, which is completely different from the defensive attributes that other branches of the military have to take into account at the same time.

However, you must know that unlike the lighthouse country, for China, the development history of the Marine Corps has actually experienced many twists and turns, which is inseparable from its national strategic needs and national strength.

So far, China has always adhered to the principles of peaceful development and active defense and self-defense in its national strategy, so even if the Marine Corps is expanded from brigade-level units to an army, it is at most out of the "active" defense side. Far from abandoning the sea to land, you have to fight in the plateau and desert in one go. Just like the current exercise and training in the plateau area, it is only for the purpose of enabling the troops to have all-area combat capability.

The task group of the Marine Corps is a temporary combat group according to the needs of the combat mission, and the combat units are collectively referred to as the Air and Ground Task Force of the Marine Corps.

The task force of the air-ground task force is not fixed, but according to the size of its troops, it can still be divided into three levels: Marine Expeditionary Force, Marine Expeditionary Detachment and Special Purpose Squad.

Each level of the unit is composed of ground combat units, aviation units, and logistics support units, which are basically capable of carrying out amphibious combat missions independently, and there is not necessarily a subordinate relationship between them.

The Marine Expeditionary Force is the largest in terms of strength, and its strength is basically based on group armies, which are mainly composed of one reinforced marine division, one marine aviation wing, and one logistics support brigade.

The Marine Expeditionary Detachment is a small-scale air-ground task force used to deal with low- and medium-intensity regional conflicts, usually composed of one Marine Infantry Battalion, one Mixed Squadron of Short VTOL Aircraft and Helicopters, and one Marine Expeditionary Detachment Service Support Group, with about 1,000-4,000 personnel.

The Special Purpose Task Force is the smallest unit of the Marine Corps Air and Ground Task Force, consisting of one Marine Infantry Company and one Air Task Force. In some cases, Navy 'SEALs' are strengthened, ranging in strength from about 100 to 1,000 troops.

At the heart of the Marine Expeditionary Detachment is the Marine Infantry Battalion, which is capable of fighting independently or in conjunction with other arms. The Marine Corps organization for this exercise is the Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Detachment, which is also a Marine Corps unit currently formed by the Chinese Navy and Marine Corps.

"Chief, isn't it a bit rushed. The fighters haven't adapted to the environment here, and we'll start a confrontation right away, I'm afraid..."Wang Haifeng came to Chen Changhua and reported.

This cross-regional all-brigade maneuver and the comprehensive coordination of the sea, land, and air forces enabled them to travel from their subtropical stations to the scorching cold northern frontier within two days.

But before the fatigue of long-range maneuvering was relieved, an order was received from the brigade headquarters to prepare the whole battalion for combat.

This time it was a long-range maneuver of 6,000 kilometers, and not to mention the climate and environment, that is, the soldiers had not had time to change their training uniforms before they received this kind of order, so Wang Haifeng had such a worry.

"I know what you're worried about, but in the past, there was a room for adaptation. Let's get used to the environment, and now we're going straight into the combat environment, and there may be a rush, but that's one of the purposes of training. Chen Changhua said.

There is no adaptation period, and every team member and every piece of equipment will enter the battlefield when they enter the training ground and directly accept the tempering of the war. In this way, Chen Changhua wanted to enhance the concept of the enemy's situation and the concept of actual combat.

"Yes, I get the chief." Hearing the brigade commander's explanation, Wang Haifeng didn't say anything more, after all, he was the commander of the Marine Corps who had experienced wind and waves, and he could find out the role of this kind of setting.
