Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

"The assessment is divided into three levels: daily quizzes, phased spot checks starting tomorrow, and a final full-day exam on the last day. All scores will be bound together and submitted to the Operations Department for filing at the end of the training."

As Zhang Anbang spoke, he distributed the printed scoring sheets to the key personnel of each company. "Map reading, infiltration, night infiltration, and team coordination are the four core subjects that account for the most points. You should focus on improving your weaknesses in the next two days."

Gao Cheng was in charge of organizing the entire battalion's preparation for the exam. He specifically designated a time slot for remedial training based on the weaknesses identified in the review of the previous days. He led key personnel to demonstrate difficult movements repeatedly and provided extra training for new recruits with weaker foundations.

In the evening, Gao Cheng convened a mobilization meeting for the entire battalion before the random test. "The test starts tomorrow. I want to emphasize again that the test is not just a formality, but a yardstick to test our true level of training."

Each company and platoon must be assessed to the highest standards, while maintaining strict adherence to cold-weather protection and equipment operation protocols.

Everyone, remember the bottom line of safety: zero tolerance for frostbite, equipment malfunction, and violations. Show us the elite spirit of our division's reconnaissance battalion!

Zhang Anbang stood aside, watching Gao Cheng standing on the armored vehicle, holding a megaphone and giving a passionate speech, and a sense of longing inexplicably arose in his heart.

Leading troops on the front lines was still the most exhilarating and liberating experience. Although the conditions in the administrative offices were better, the rigid rules and regulations always made people feel restricted. He secretly wondered how long he would have to endure in the administrative offices, thinking that he couldn't possibly stay there for long.

After a busy day, the ninth day of the phased test came to an end. The overall performance of the eight or nine hundred soldiers in the Division Reconnaissance Battalion was very good, with an excellent rate of 80%.

The rest were all good, except for a few new recruits whose scores were slightly lower, barely reaching the good mark. The main issues were low scores in map reading and distance measurement.

That evening, during the debriefing, Gao Cheng pulled Zhang Anbang aside to discuss adjusting the content of the pre-exam training for the tenth day, preparing to use the morning before the exam to focus on catching up on any shortcomings.

Zhang Anbang flipped through the assessment modules in the plan in his hand, compared them with the time schedule, and quickly made a suggestion: "Company Commander, when I designed this plan, I reserved a window for pre-exam flexible training, which can be used just in time."

However, the make-up time must be kept within one and a half hours; only in this way can it not encroach on the formal assessment time. This is the limit.

Gao Cheng nodded repeatedly, "That's enough. Tomorrow I'll lead the team ahead of schedule for remedial training. You'll coordinate the assessment venue, judges, and logistical support."

If these brats get the same test scores as today, they won't be able to have a peaceful Spring Festival. I'll definitely treat them to a huge Spring Festival gift package.

By the way, I've already checked the live-fire test ammunition with the administrator. The quantity requested strictly followed the plan, with a 15% redundancy reserve. This ammunition will be managed separately after being issued, and any remaining quantity after the test will be returned to the warehouse.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye during the training camp, which was also the last day of the training camp. The graduation assessment was carried out as scheduled.

From map reading and application in the early morning, to team infiltration in the afternoon, and then to the nighttime infiltration exercise, each task was completed step by step. Judges scored the entire process according to the scoring criteria, and the results were recorded in real time.

After a full day of assessments, it was completely dark. The cold wind was still howling in the mountains. The tents at the temporary training camp were neatly lit, and each class was organizing their equipment and checking their supplies in an orderly manner. The whole process was well-organized.

Throughout the ten-day training camp, there were no incidents of training injuries, forest fires, frostbite, or equipment damage.

There were no violations of discipline by soldiers, all training subjects in the eight modules were completed on schedule, material support was in place in full, and all safety risks were eliminated ahead of schedule.

That evening, a training debriefing meeting was held in the temporary conference room of the battalion headquarters. All the key personnel from each company were present, and a complete training plan was displayed in the middle of the tent.

Gao Cheng spoke first, his tone high-spirited: "This ten-day winter training is the one with the smoothest process, the most unified standards, and the fewest hidden dangers since I took over the command of the reconnaissance battalion."

Previously, training relied entirely on experience, with tasks done haphazardly, lacking detailed standards for support, safety, and assessment. This time, with Anbang's comprehensive plan, everything, big or small, is well-organized and follows established procedures, saving countless troubles.

After speaking, Gao Cheng turned to look at Zhang Anbang beside him and gestured for him to speak.

Zhang Anbang sat up straight, his gaze sweeping over all the key personnel present. His voice was steady and clear: "The successful conclusion of this ten-day training exercise is not due to the plan itself, but to the fact that Deputy Battalion Commander Gao led all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to implement it in a down-to-earth manner."

This fully demonstrates the excellent work style, solid training foundation, and strong execution capabilities of all officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion.

Despite the strong winds, temperature drops, and damp, cold ground that brought many unfavorable conditions, the key and difficult subjects such as ambush and live-fire exercises were not compromised in the slightest.

With thorough remedial training, strict adherence to safety standards, and a steady achievement rate of passing grades, this result is solid and verifiable.

From the start of training to graduation, all of you adhered to the program's terms from beginning to end, without making unauthorized changes or arbitrarily deleting any subjects. Every training exercise, every safety regulation, and every expenditure of materials was recorded in a closed-loop manner.

In subsequent assessments, I hope everyone can maintain this momentum, uphold the standards, prioritize safety, and strive to achieve the title of "Advanced Training Achievement" for the entire year.

A platoon leader raised his hand and asked, "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, can we adjust and use this plan framework for all our battalion's subsequent field training exercises?"

"Absolutely."

Zhang Anbang nodded in response, "All the preset training goals were achieved on schedule, which proves that the scientific nature and practicality of this plan are quite good."

However, this plan was developed for winter mountain reconnaissance and training missions. For subsequent spring and summer field training exercises, you will need to adjust the subjects to adapt to the environment.

Especially in terms of safety, for example, the current content on cold-weather protection needs to be changed to protection against infectious diseases, training injuries, and forest fires in the spring, and to protection against heatstroke and heat exhaustion in the summer.

However, the overall framework of these eight modules is universal. I will prepare a blank framework template for you when I get back to the department, which you can refer to later.

"That's wonderful!"

The company and platoon officers who attended the meeting were overjoyed. "For our next training exercise, we can just fill in the content according to the framework, which will save us a lot of trouble."

"That's right. The main thing is that this training exercise has given us a better understanding of the situation, and we'll have a clearer idea of ​​the detailed plans to be prepared in the future."

……

The battalion commander then reported on the final logistics tasks: "Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, Deputy Section Chief Zhang, all remaining rations, cold-weather supplies, fuel, and ammunition have been counted and registered."

The remaining ammunition has been sealed and will be transported back to the division's equipment section tomorrow. All material consumption records and signed receipts have been compiled and filed along with the plan.

Gao Cheng nodded without saying anything.

Zhang Anbang said, "Okay, keep the ledger safe. Bind it together with the training summary and assessment results sheet. I'll take it back to the training department for filing when I leave tomorrow."
