On April 20, the 4th batch of China Peacekeeping Engineering Battalion to Mali organized an actual combat drill to improve the ability of emergency response. XCMG’s XT870 backhoe loader was involved in the drill.

In the peacekeeping area in Mali, Party conflict and roadside bomb can be seen everywhere. Considering the multiple outdoor construction, long travel distance and long operation time, the battalion increased the intensity of actual combat drill to improve the ability of emergency response. In the training, difficulties were set and dealt with through the sandbox, inside operation, and combat drill step by step. A variety of emergency situations were taken into consideration. The systematic and comprehensive training ensured that peacekeeping officers and soldiers would fulfill the mission and return safely. XCMG’s backhoe loader with the features of small size, fast speed and flexible performance rapidly tackled various emergency situations, providing important support for the Chinese peacekeepers.
