The 6th Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion to South Sudan finished its first short-distance patrol and escort mission in 2020 and safely returned to their barracks on January 8, local time. Chinese peacekeepers were highly praised in the Juba Theater and by the escorted personnel and contingents.

当地时间1月8日,我第6批赴南苏丹维和步兵营完成新年度首次短巡护卫任务,安全返回联合国之家,受到了朱巴战区以及被护卫人员和分队的高度称赞。

This short-distance mission was jointly assigned by the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the Juba Theater.

此次短巡护卫任务受联南苏团和朱巴战区指派。

In order to carry out the mission with a high standard, Chinese battalion , before setting out, conducted comprehensive information collection and analysis on the patrol areas and their military, social and natural conditions, and made as detailed primary judgment as possible. Such thorough preparations laid a solid foundation for them to effectively deal with emergencies such as surprise inspection by local armed forces, vehicle breakdown and traffic obstruction.

为高标准完成此次任务,该营出发前就按照“研判-推演-训练-验收”的步骤,对巡逻地域及沿途军情、社情、自然环境等信息进行全方位搜集研判,为有效应对当地武装检查、车辆故障、通行受阻等突发情况打下坚实基础。

Before the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion set out, it was assigned an additional task - to provide armed escort for the military observers and the Bangladesh detachments.

临行前,在原定的短巡任务基础上,该营又被赋予了为军事观察员和孟加拉国工兵连、江河连提供武装护卫的任务。

The battalion adjusted its plan in a timely manner to combine the two tasks, increased escorting strength and worked in close coordination with their foreign counterparts.

面对任务调整,该营及时调整预案,将短巡和护卫两种方案相结合,增加护卫力量编成,密切协同友军行动,最终圆满完成此次“一巡三护”任务。

During the 170km patrol and escort route, the Chinese peacekeepers passed 16 sensitive locations including local inspection points and about-100-kilometer bad road featuring dangerous bridges, hurdles and bumps.

巡逻护卫期间,我维和官兵共通过当地检查站等敏感点位16个,危桥、堵塞、坑洼等难行路段100余公里,巡逻总长度约170公里。

The patrol and escort mission was an overall test to the real-combat capability of the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion since it was deployed to the mission area, and gained valuable experience for it to perform other patrol and armed escort missions in the future.

此次任务是对该营部署至任务区以来实战能力的全面检验,也为下一步即将展开的其他巡逻和武装护卫任务积累了宝贵经验。
