In early August, more than 40 recruits finished their training of meteorological expertise for the arms of artillery and air defense and went to their posts in different units under the Shenyang Military Area Command. This is a measure taken by the headquarters of the military area command to alleviate the shortage of talents in meteorology specialty in these two arms.

The correct use of climate conditions to upgrade the hit accuracy　and damage effect for artillery and air defense forces is an important guarantee of successful accomplishment of operational tasks.

With the increasing demands for meteorology specialty talents, the small number of college graduates can't meet the needs in quantity. In order to upgrade the meteorological support capability of the artillery and the air defense forces, the headquarter of the Shenyang Military Area Command keeps an eye on the future war and takes efforts to provide first level meteorological service for the troops. Every year, some newly recruited soldiers from artillery and air defense troops will be selected to the artillery training group to receive systematic training on basic knowledge of meteorology, ground observation and the usage of artillery meteorological equipment.

Nine batches of such training have not only brought out a large number of soldiers mastering basic meterological technology, but also standardized the drilling procedure and the usage and operation of meteorological equipment. The support capability of artillery and air defense troops has been greatly improved accordingly.
