The construction of oxygen production and supply for the plateau troops of the whole army gradually realizes the portability of individual soldiers
News from our newspaper Wu Duoqi and reporter Sun Xingwei reported: Recently, officers and soldiers of a certain unit opened their portable single-soldier oxygen cylinders and began to inhale oxygen during a break during a plateau patrol.
Since last year, the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission has successively distributed individual oxygen supply equipment such as portable oxygen cylinders, portable oxygen generators, and solid oxygen generators to plateau officers and soldiers. The plateau oxygen supply guarantee has gradually realized "from peacetime to wartime. , Three transitions from camp to field, from fixed to mobile, to better serve and ensure the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The construction of oxygen production is related to the daily use of oxygen for health care by the officers and soldiers of the plateau and the use of oxygen for medical care in wartime. The quality of construction is directly related to the generation of combat effectiveness.
In order to solve the problem of oxygen inhalation for officers and soldiers, the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission has actively organized the construction of oxygen production and supply for troops stationed in areas above 3000 meters above sea level since 2013, and has played an active role in enhancing the combat cohesion of the troops.
In recent years, while doing a good job in the construction of fixed oxygen inhalation facilities in the barracks, the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission and the Army's two-level agencies have been guided by the needs of officers and soldiers, focused on the construction of oxygen supply capacity in the plateau field, and combined with the specific practice of oxygen support for plateau patrol missions. , Successively equipped the troops with new-type oxygen production shelters, individual portable oxygen cylinders, portable oxygen generators, and solid oxygen generators. An oxygen guarantee system in peacetime and wartime with shelters as nodes and individual oxygen supply equipment as terminals.
In the next step, the Central Military Commission will focus on the construction of a plateau sickness prevention and control system, take the basic scientific research of plateau sickness as the traction, take oxygen supply guarantee and hypoxic pre-conditioning training as the starting point, and build for the plateau officers and soldiers from the three levels of prevention, health care and treatment. Set up a solid health barrier to provide a strong guarantee for the plateau troops to perform various tasks.
