PLA garrison in Hong Kong organizes joint patrol

The Hong Kong Garrison of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday mobilized some of its army, naval and air forces to conduct a joint patrol, focusing on training the troops' combat capability of emergency response, joint operations, and special situation handling.

The joint patrol involved high-mobility infantry, ships, helicopters and other units of the armed forces, which was carried out under real combat conditions. It emphasized rapid deployment and command planning, naval and air patrols, inspections and captures, joint maritime zone control, as well as emergency rescue and repair operations.

This high-intensity confrontation drill has strengthened and enhanced the troop's ability to respond to emergencies and execute diverse military tasks.

During the joint patrol, the participating troops strictly complied with the laws and regulations of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and notified in advance the relevant departments of the HKSAR government.
