Storyline


The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) support base in Djibouti held its first live ammunition shooting drill on Friday.

The training was designed to examine the garrison's capacity of comprehensive weapon application and completing diversified military tasks in an environment of high temperature, high humidity, high salinity and high levels of radiation.

In the high temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, dozens of officers and soldiers shot at different targets from different distances using pistols, automatic rifles, sniper rifles and coaxial machine guns right after they arrived at Djibouti's national training range, to improve their military skills.

"This live ammunition drill was the first time that our soldiers stationed in Djibouti walked out of the camp to carry out a combat training. It is also an important part of the 'month with guns' activity held by the base. The live ammunition drill will help explore a new training model for our overseas garrison," said Liang Yang, commander of the base.

The PLA Djibouti base is conducive to overseas tasks including military cooperation, joint exercises, evacuating and protecting overseas Chinese and emergency rescue, as well as jointly maintaining security of international strategic seaways.
