Recently, a joint repair team composed of front-line support backbone of the navy and air force moved across the sea to an airport of the navy, and cooperated closely to repair the damaged airport pavement within two hours, and the fighter roared into the air. In this joint exercise task of bomb disposal and emergency repair, thanks to the early full "brain connection", the joint support forces of air and sea have achieved interconnection and integration.

"This emergency repair team is one of the seven task units participating in the joint support drill." Zhang Zhihong, director of the Air Force Support Command Center in the southern theater, introduced that in recent years, the track of the air force aviation force in the theater has expanded year by year to the far sea, and the need to implement the mutual support of sea and air similar equipment has become increasingly urgent. Previously, although there were many cross service joint insurance and training tasks, because the operation of the joint insurance and training mechanism was still in the exploratory stage, the communication time was often limited in the emergency tasks, and in addition, the difference in the laws and standards of the rear clothing support of different services, the effect of "holding the finger to form a fist" was not obvious after the elite support forces of various services were mixed.

"Joint insurance" must first "joint brain". The author learned that in the early stage, the Department organized business training, invited the combat personnel of the naval and air force organs in the theater to study the support laws and regulations, discuss the support problems, and coordinate and dock around specific issues such as support material supply, remote force delivery, and battlefield resource utilization. Through running in, the front-line support force of the navy and air force first reached an agreement on the concept and standard of support.

On the basis of "connecting brain", they further explored to solve the problem of joint guarantee and unblock the mechanism of joint guarantee and training. In order to speed up the integration progress, the Air Force Support Department of the Southern Theater of Operations took the opportunity of organizing emergency support and support live action, and selected 19 key personnel from a certain naval department to strengthen to the rear loading support unit to jointly participate in task preparation. The Ministry also compiled and printed the Collection of Regulations and Systems for Backloading Support and related work flow charts, arranged the top personnel in the bomb disposal and emergency repair business of the air force airport to conduct coaching and demonstration teaching, and took the "twinning" method to teach the naval comrades hand in hand.

At present, the sea and air force support forces in the whole region have initially formed a normalized coordination and liaison mechanism in terms of personnel and equipment transportation, storage of standing consumables, technical force support, etc. Fu Cheng, assistant of a certain naval aviation department, said with deep feeling, "The experience of refined management of air force stations has played an important role in ensuring the transition flight."
