In early February, 2012, several brigades and regiments under the Beijing Military Area Command (MAC) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) marched into a large training base beyond the Great Wall to test the combat effectiveness of over 10 types of new commanding and controlling equipment in 3 categories at the temperature of -30℃ for the first time, in a bid to temper the all-weather systematic combat commanding and controlling capacity of command-and-staff organs based on the information system.

As military training in the new year 2012 unfolded, the Beijing MAC decided to test the tactical and technical effectiveness of the new commanding and controlling equipment dominated by the integrated commanding platform in rugged environment in combination with the actual-troop and real-equipment drills.

During the drill, with a focus on realizing various commanding organs' information acquisition, transmission, processing and command and control under extremely cold conditions, all participating brigades and regiments conducted pre-order, enemy situation setting, random directing and quantitative evaluation on the new commanding and controlling equipment such as the integrated command platform and the field local area network (LAN), through which hundreds of sets of combat statistics have been accumulated and existing problems of over 20 trainings in five aspects have been spotted.

Wei Wenhao, head of the Military Training and Arms Department under the Headquarters of the Beijing MAC, said that the participating troops analyzed the problems existing in the drills through video playback and sand-table deduction, deliberated counter-solutions and accordingly adjusted the training plans.
