What is extreme training?

The so-called "extreme training" refers to training at the limit that the equipment and various conditions can withstand, so that the trainee's physical, technical potential and mental endurance can be trained and strengthened at the maximum level. 

meaning

Train to the limit that the equipment can withstand

effect

Maximize the tolerance of trainees

purpose

Improve psychological endurance "limit value"

High intensity of training

Educational training theory believes that a certain quality or ability of a person can only be trained under the corresponding environment and conditions that require such quality or ability. In combat under high-tech conditions, the characteristics of increased confrontation elements, expansion of confrontation fields, fierce confrontation, complex confrontation situations, and increased confrontation risk determine that daily training must be high-intensity. That is, on the premise that the trainees can bear the physical and psychological capabilities of the trainees, scientifically increase the training density and training frequency from the background platform of suffering and fatigue, difficulties and dangers, and sudden changes created by multiple links, multiple aspects and multiple conditions , Through the training under the limit state, the goal of improving the skills, physical fitness, tactical level and physical and psychological endurance of the trainees is achieved. In order to improve the endurance of pilots in high-intensity operations, the U.S. military often conducts "peak peak training" and "maximum flight intensity" training. The per capita sunrise momentum is up to 7-8 times and the total time is 10-12 hours, including emergency takeoffs and low-altitude surprise Training in defense, low-altitude attacks, and long-range attacks. After the Gulf War was over, the US pilots said with deep feeling: This combat operation is simpler and easier than usual training. In this state, combat effectiveness has been maximized.

The difficulty of training

 Suvorov said: “If it’s difficult to train troops, it’s easy to advance; if it’s easy to train troops, it’s difficult to move on.” Usually training should focus on strictness and difficulty. Existing equipment realizes "difficulty solving" in joint operations and "overcoming difficulties" in command and control under information conditions. Abandon the wishful thinking in training, break through at a sudden, and win at a fight, and set up problems, false risks, and dangers, so as to "force" new methods of warfare, and "difficulties" to create true abilities. The Israeli army is known for its "hell tempering", and the difficulty of its training is unimaginable without personal experience. A foreign military reporter wrote in this regard: "Humanity's imagination for future wars has been fully displayed here. It can be seen that the designers of the training have no illusions about the cruelty of war. Here, yes. It is a magic zone that leads to war, which is composed of all kinds of difficulties and dangers." Western developed countries begin high-difficulty training as soon as recruits enlist in the army. 

For example, in obstacle training for British airborne recruits, they must pass 10-meter-high overhead obstacles, intermittent and movable single-plank bridges, cable bridges, cables, climbing poles, soft ladders, etc. at a distance of 1,000 meters. They must run twice in a row, and the slowest must not exceed 22. Minutes, the elimination rate of recruits is usually 30-50%, sometimes as high as 75%. The British army organizes three to four months of training in severe cold conditions in northern Norway every year, and allows soldiers to carry 50 kilograms of weight for long-distance walking training in the marshes. In order to cultivate the endurance, will and survivability of the troops, the US military allowed soldiers to enter the tropical jungle without maps, food and water, and proceed according to designated targets. On the way, they could only catch snakes and beasts to satisfy their hunger, and extract plant roots to suck juice and quench their thirst. Suppose the enemy is in an ambush in advance and suddenly launches an attack, the captured will be eliminated. 

Training simulation

 The background, environment, conditions, and organization of training must strive to be in line with actual combat. For example, combat operations are carried out continuously day and night, the supply and rest of personnel are irregular, the body is extremely exhausted, the physical energy is exhausted, and the threat of frequent sudden attacks, high mental stress, etc., should be fully reflected in the training. . The National Training Center of the US Army first emphasized that these situations must be truly reproduced in any exercise, because these are part of the battle and must be learned to do it. Therefore, the trainees must be allowed to really feel, train, and learn, otherwise they will suffer on the battlefield because they don’t understand or don’t. If anti-tank trenches are required during training, the commander will send engineers to dig them out according to the actual size; if the soldiers move irregularly or incorrectly during training, they will suffer "casualties" and they must be rescued in time. Send; if you need to supplement the equipment accessories, the list must be filled in formally and clearly, otherwise you will not get the supplement. "Learning from mistakes and training with problems" has become the highest standard for training at the US National Training Center. These "errors" and "problems" were discovered through real training operations. If found, solved, the training will be effective.
