Armed Police Gold Force has a history of more than 30 years of geological exploration, and it is an armed group engaged in economic construction in the form of militarized organization. Knowledge-intensive, well-equipped, special mission, is a team that can bear hardships, fight and contribute. In 2007, Premier Wen Jiabao personally instructed: "Over the years, the Armed Police Gold Force has made important contributions to the country's discovery and exploration of gold deposits and accumulated valuable experience." 1979 since the founding of the army, officers and men have fought against the north. They carried out general survey and exploration of gold in 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and 46 metallogenic belts, and found 325 gold mines with 2,269 tons of gold reserves, which provided new resources for nearly 100 newly-built and renovated gold mines and promoted the development of new mines and the increase of old mine reserves. At the same time, the team has been trained and talents have been reserved, and 30 scientific research achievements have reached the international and domestic advanced level. While completing the prospecting task, the troops also undertook the tasks of drought resistance, flood fighting and disaster relief, debris flow rescue, fire fighting and rescue at the station (photo 6- 1).

Judging from the emergency needs of the country and the nature and tasks of the gold army, on the one hand, it undertakes the national basic, public welfare and strategic geological and mineral exploration, on the other hand, it undertakes the tasks of geological disaster investigation, observation, prevention and rescue, which can give full play to its own advantages.
1. Professional advantages
The main task of the Golden Army is geological exploration. The army has more than a thousand professional and technical personnel with high academic qualifications, high professional titles and knowledge of geological disasters. These people have worked in geological disaster-prone areas for a long time and have rich practical work experience in the field. They can not only play a role in geological exploration, but also in geological disaster investigation, prevention and emergency rescue (photo 6-2).

2. Equipment advantages
Geological exploration equipment in military exploration and construction, including all kinds of high-tech equipment, such as geophysical prospecting equipment, can effectively find out the deep geological structure and material composition, and provide the basis for disaster reduction and prevention; Remote sensing technology and equipment, all kinds of measuring equipment, have guiding significance for the observation, prevention, evaluation and emergency treatment of geological disasters; All kinds of communication equipment can cope with communication under complex conditions and command work in time; General construction equipment, such as drilling rigs and excavators, can play a role in the construction of emergency rescue projects.
3. Geographical advantages
Due to the particularity of gold minerals, most of them are distributed in mountainous areas, so at present, the 3rd Corps 12 detachment of the Gold Army is mostly distributed in the high-risk areas of geological disasters such as southwest, south China and northwest, and the working areas are mostly located in mountainous areas, which is also a high-risk area of geological disasters.
4. Institutional advantages
First, the implementation of dual leadership is conducive to coordinating the relationship with local governments. Second, the organizational management system is perfect and flexible, which is convenient for unified command and dispatch. Third, it is well-organized and disciplined, and has the advantage of undertaking relevant geological work that the country must carry out, including remote and hard areas, ethnic minority gathering places, environmentally sensitive areas, military and national defense strategic areas, etc. Fourth, there is a fine tradition and rich experience in mass work, which will be welcomed and supported by the local government and people. Usually, soldiers participate in the exploration of geological and mineral resources, monitoring, general survey and prevention of geological disasters. In an extraordinary state, like the hydropower, transportation and forest forces, emergency rescue and engineering rescue have become an important force of national emergency rescue, making due contributions to safeguarding national property and people's lives, social progress and economic development.
