Will this transfer of PLA-Brigades also include the transfer of PLA Army Aviation units like existing Z-10s to the PLAN Marine ?

Here comes heliborne fire support to the PLAN Marine
With the planned new-establishment or better expansion of a Marine Corps
via the transfer of PLA Brigades just a question: Is this only the
prelude to the formation of a dedicated PLAN Marine Corps including
their own aviation units with dedicated attack helicopters, construction
of helicopter carriers or LHA and transport types ??
Will this transfer of PLA-Brigades also include the transfer of PLA Army Aviation units like existing Z-10s to the PLAN Marine ?

PLZ05 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer Abteilung, 6th Artillery Brigade, 38th Group Army, Central Theater Command shows off its latest artillery forward observer/recon vehicles
This ZSD Chassis based FO vehicle seems to be sporting the same reconnaissance radar on telescoping mast as the new ZBD04A recon IFV (Chinese VingtaqsII??). Technical details are unavailable at this point.
As part of the press release (here)
covering 40th Group Army's trek to the "Stride 2015• Zhurihe A" Red vs
Blue confrontational drill, they are head-lining a new ZBD04A
reconnaissance variant vanguarding an armored recon unit ahead of the
main body.
Judging by large number of ZBD04A variants currently in service, the PLA seems to be happy with this design. The original ZDB04... well not so much, only 500 copies were commissioned.

Looking to get away from it all? Why not plan a trip to one of the most heavily contested places on earth?
After building artificial islands in the middle of the South China Sea and filling them with airstrips, cute female soldiers, veggie gardens and surface-to-air missiles, China is now working hard on turning the disputed islands into tourist hotspots.
According to the South China Morning Post, Hainan delegates at this year's National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing have released a document stating that tour flights to the Paracels (Xisha Islands) are one of their priorities for this year.

Photos of the day: Yong Xing Island, South China Sea, Vacation spot.
Wifi included.
YongXiang island 永兴岛 (woody island) is the main island of the Xisha
islands (Paracel islands) in the South China Sea. It is approximately
2.1 square kilometers in size.
It is home to the PLAN Marine Xisha Island Garrison (battalion size) and a civilian emergency rescue center. It has an artificial harbor that can accommodate ships up to 5000 tone and a modern 2350 meters runway that can support a Boeing 737 class transport.
It has no fresh water source, so a water slide park is out of the question.
