China-US holds Joint 1 HADR Live Troop Exercise in Yunnan


On the sideline of China-US joint exercises, some military observers from foreign countries talked about how they viewed such drills.


The drills soldiers are taking part in, focus on humanitarian 2 assistance and disaster relief in high altitude regions.


A total of 223 elite 3 soldiers are taking part, including 134 from the People's Liberation Army and 89 from the US side.


The drills themselves consist of four parts: command and control, ground rescue operations, relief and relocation, as well as marine 4 rescues.


40 soldiers from two-dozen other countries are also here to oversee 5 the joint exercises.


Captain Stafford with Grenada's armed forces says the marine rescue drills are of particular interest, given Grenada is a small Caribbean island.


"I believe it was an excellent show of the military ability and capability 6 for rescues in the water. There were a lot of things that I learned that were new, we've heard of it before, but for the first time we were able to see it actually happen. About the next drill that I think could be in a couple of years, and that we and the US can all be in this together."


The drills put the soldiers from both sides to the test...


A 289-meter-long pontoon bridge was constructed in just 15-minutes, allowing both people and vehicles safe avenues of escape from a simulated disaster area.


Italian Colonel Sandro Calaresu says the ground-based drills 'hit-home' for him.


"My feeling is very positive, I come from a country where earthquakes are not affections but a reality these days, so I can say this exercise is very constructive 7, and you never know when they might use expertise 8 and resources that we've seen here today in real cases."


Beyond training, the joint exercises are also designed to try to create a sense of comradery among the soldiers taking part.


Colonel Calaresu, who is also a military liason to the European Union, says drills like the ones in Yunnan are worth expanding.


"Today, as we speak in Brussels, we have bilateral 9 talks between China and the European Union, I believe that the synergy and efforts to continue these kinds of events can be discussed and taken forward."


The drills in Yunnan represent the 4th time in the last 3-years, that Chinese and US soldiers have worked together in joint exercises.
