Good bye 121st Jungle-Mountain Infantry Brigade, oh hello 121st Air-Assault Brigade (空中突击第121旅) 75th Group Army, Southern Theater Command

Lets change the subject from DPRK to Southern China for a few.   The old 121st Jungle-Mountain Infantry Brigade is no more, it has merged with the old 12th LH (Army Aviation) Regiment to form the new 121st Air-Assault Brigade (空中突击第121旅). 

Air Assault 1st BN is equipped with ATV's (see picture)
Helicopter 4th BN is equipped with Z-19's


Pairing Army Aviation with organic specialized, light infantry units,  I am seeing a trend here.
