DJIBOUTI, Oct. 15 (ChinaMil) -- The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Support Base in Djibouti conducted a joint medical rescue and evacuation drill with the European Union Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) Combined Task Force (CTF) 465 on the morning of October 12, local time, in a bid to explore the methods for joint air-sea medical rescue and evacuation at oversea base, and to test and strengthen the emergency medical rescue support capability of the PLA Support Base in Djibouti.

当地时间10月12日上午,我驻吉布提保障基地与欧盟465编队开展联合医疗后送救援演练,探索海外基地联合医疗海空后送救援方式方法,检验提升我紧急医疗救援保障能力。

The drill simulated the cabin of a merchant ship STAR caught fire in the western waters of the Gulf of Aden at around 6:00 a.m. local time and six sailors were ”injured”. After receiving a distress call from the ship, the Chinese PLA Support Base and the CTF 465 held an emergency discussion and decided to dispatch a joint medical team to rescue it.

当地时间清晨6时许,亚丁湾西部海域,一艘“STAR”号商船机舱起火,造成6名船员受伤。我驻吉布提保障基地与欧盟465编队接到“STAR”号商船医疗求救信号后,经双方紧急协商,决定成立一支联合医疗救援分队实施救援。

The drill lasted four hours and practiced seven procedures such as the dispatching of emergency signal & information transmission, the establishment and dispatch of a joint medical rescue team, on-site joint medical treatment, and helicopter emergency medical evacuation and so forth.

此次联合医疗救援演练,历时4个小时,先后演练了应急求救信号分发与信息传递、联合医疗救援分队编成设置及紧急出动、现场联合医疗救治、直升机紧急医疗后送等7项内容。

It was the first time for the Chinese PLA Support Base to use the helicopter to conduct such a drill, which provided valuable experience for itself to effectively command naval and air force units and conduct humanitarian rescue at sea, promoted exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese base and EU military forces in the region, and improved the capability of regional joint humanitarian operation.

此次演练,是基地部队进驻以来首次使用直升机开展联合医疗救援演练,为我高效指挥海、空兵力和开展海上人道主义救援积累了有益经验,推动了基地与区域内欧盟各国军事力量的交流合作,提升了区域内人道主义联合救援的能力。
