WUHAN, July 4 -- From July 1 to 3, the Qiangjun Cup Naval Pentathlon Competition among China's military educational institutions was held at a base of the PLA Naval University of Engineering in Wuhan, capital city of central China's Hubei Province. Thirteen teams from nine military institutions competed in five events, including obstacle course, lifesaving, navigation skills, armed cross-country race and water skills.

The event simulated scenarios based on naval tasks such as landing operations, shipboard work, and maritime self-rescue and mutual rescue, aiming to test the participants' basic naval vocational skills.

The competition began with the obstacle course. On an S-shaped track, participants needed to pass through eight obstacles, including hurdles and balance beams, over a total distance of approximately 305 meters. This event tested the participants' agility, balance, reaction speed, and strength.

The lifesaving event was based on maritime self-rescue and mutual rescue tasks. Participants needed to operate rubber boats and perform three types of rescues by means of lifeline, rescue net and swimming to bring drowning individuals ashore. Then, they needed to complete bandaging, hemostasis, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which tested their rescue abilities in water and first aid skills for battle injuries.

The navigation skills event simulated maritime navigation environment, where contestants performed such actions as climbing masts, furling and throwing cables, rowing around markers, and maritime operations.

The armed cross-country race, also an essential naval skill, features rapid maneuvering, outflanking to create favorable conditions for subsequent landing and occupation. It included such subjects as cross-country running, shooting, and grenade throwing, testing combat skills over a total distance of approximately 2,300 meters.

The water skills event was based on the scenario of a maritime assault task, where participants first needed to swim 500 meters in full gear, and then row 2,000 meters on a dinghy to the finish line.

It's learned that this competition was hosted by the Training and Administration Department of China's Central Military Commission (CMC) and organized by the PLA Naval University of Engineering.
