- Summary:
- This report addresses China's rapid runway repair capabilities and other methods of restoring air operations when faced with enemy assaults. 1: The PLA expects initial assaults against its airfields in a conflict and integrates this expectation into its strategic planning. 2: The PLA Air Force maintains dedicated training time allotted to runway repair. 3: PLA Army Aviation appears to focus more on remote and temporary basing rather than runway repair. 4: China's Runway Repair planning involves extensive civilian participation. 5: China's highway landing and take-off capabilities appear to be rudimentary at present.
