in early autumn, a brigade of the eastern theater command was about to start a day-and-night flight training. during the pre-flight maintenance preparation, a line fault was found, and two young technical backbones carried out emergency repairs. after a series of busy operations, the fault was eliminated.

it is understood that in the past, when encountering aircraft maintenance problems, officers and soldiers relied heavily on the participation of technical personnel from the equipment manufacturer to solve the problem. especially in the early stages of the deployment of new equipment, due to insufficient understanding of the equipment's performance, they often needed to invite technical personnel from the manufacturer to provide accompanying support when carrying out their missions.

"nowadays, with the rapid growth of a group of backbone talents, when officers and soldiers encounter general equipment failures during training, they can often rely on their own strength to successfully solve them." the brigade leader said that independent maintenance and support not only effectively improved the equipment integrity rate, but also trained and cultivated the team. in practice, they gradually built a full process chain of "familiar with equipment - training backbones - mastering equipment - independent support - forming experience".

the change started with an experience the officers and soldiers had before.

on that occasion, the superior organized a multi-service confrontation training, and a fighter plane's power system suddenly malfunctioned. the manufacturer's technicians were unable to arrive for some reason, so many maintenance backbones of the brigade came together to fight. although the fault was eventually eliminated, the whole process took too long and affected the efficiency of the deployment.

"if we seek too much 'foreign aid', our growth will be slow; if we rely on 'foreign aid' for training and support in peacetime, what will we do on the real battlefield?" the words of the brigade leader caused everyone to think deeply during the review and summary. they analyzed in depth that it is understandable to appropriately use "external brains" and introduce "foreign aid" to help with training and support when new equipment is put into service. however, if we do not actively improve ourselves in peacetime, and think of "seeking external aid" to solve problems and "walking with crutches" when encountering difficulties, it will inevitably weaken the initiative of officers and soldiers to study in depth and lose the opportunity to exercise and grow, and there will be no way to win the battlefield.

on this basis, the brigade organized extensive in-depth discussions among officers and soldiers, guided them to clarify vague understandings in the collision of ideas, and to identify practices that did not meet the requirements of actual combat in training; played the role of technical personnel from manufacturers to help, and gradually improved the skills of backbone personnel in the unit through one-on-one guidance and centralized training; selected potential talents to study and train in manufacturers, and took multiple measures to improve independent support capabilities. at the same time, they took advantage of opportunities such as combat readiness mobilization and training exercises to integrate special situations such as emergency replacement of equipment parts and emergency repair of faults, and tempered the officers and soldiers' hard skills in emergency support.

"the right engine oil pressure jumped." the reporter walked into the repair shop of the brigade and saw that under the guidance of mechanical technician zhao jianguo, several new comrades were preparing to troubleshoot a fighter plane. after repeated attempts, they not only found the cause of the fault, but also discussed a troubleshooting plan and actively carried out related operations. zhao jianguo told reporters that now, when they encounter difficulties, they often solve them based on existing forces and resources, which not only trains the team and accumulates experience, but also effectively improves the support efficiency.

communications repair technician xiong bangyong has successively obtained the aviation communications radar navigation technician certificate and the aviation communications navigation senior technician certificate. he is proficient in dozens of communications equipment maintenance techniques and has performed well in major tasks many times; repair technician xiong kaixi is not only proficient in helicopter rotor repair, but also has expanded training skills such as pliers, riveting, welding and machine tool operation; senior engineer sun guoqi's self-developed device has effectively improved the efficiency of fighter pilot calibration... inspired by a series of talent training measures, the brigade's backbone talent team has been tempered and thrived. a group of professional pioneers with strong skills and familiarity with new equipment are active on the front line, playing an important role in improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.
