An armored infantry company from the Macao Garrison of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted a drill on Tuesday to improve soldiers' combat readiness and operational capability. The Macao Garrison barracks is located in Taipa, a bustling area of the region. The soldiers of the armored infantry company also conducted training to improve combat skills, with training featuring rolling up tires, carrying artillery shells and rafts, and pushing armored vehicles.
