北京，9月2日 -- 根据国务院、中央军委年度新兵征集和士兵退出现役工作安排，9月1日起，全军下半年新老兵运输投送工作全面展开。
BEIJING, Sept. 2 -- According to the arrangements for annual recruitment and discharge of soldiers from active service by China’s State Council and the Central Military Commission (CMC), the transportation and delivery of recruits and veterans for the 2nd half of 2021 was launched on September 1.
据了解，今年秋季新兵起运时间为9月16日，9月30日结束；老兵运输分两批组织，第一批于9月1日开始，第二批将于12月1日开始。
It is learned that the transportation for recruits this fall will begin on September 16 and end on September 30. The transportation of veterans will be carried out in two batches. The first batch started on September 1 and the second batch will start on December 1.
这次的新老兵运输综合运用铁路、水路和航空等方式组织投送。其中，航空投送重点保障西藏、新疆、青海、云南等铁公路交通不便地区，以及边防、海岛或需铁路中转3次以上地区的新兵，主要采取包机或航班购票方式组织实施。
This time, the transportation of recruits and veterans will be carried out through railways, waterways and air. Among them, air delivery is used mainly for new recruits in areas with inconvenient railway and highway transportation such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Yunnan, as well as islands or areas that require more than three railway transfers. The air delivery will be organized and implemented by chartered flights or flight ticket purchases.
为确保新兵运输投送工作安全、快捷、高效、有序开展，军委后勤保障部有关部门将采取切实有效措施进行疫情防控。
In order to ensure a safe, fast, efficient, and orderly transportation work, the pandemic prevention and control would be taken seriously by the PLA.
