The PLA has announced their latest hi-tec addition to ever growing military might:

The Chinese military has added showers and cooking trucks to its ever more sophisticated arsenal, state media reported.The camouflaged vehicle can be set up in five minutes and allows 20 men to shower simultaneously within a narrow 10-square-metre (108-square-foot) space, the Xinhua news agency said.The introduction of the shower vehicle means China’s men and women in uniform can now get a hot shower once a week while out in the field, according to Xinhua. China’s military budget is set to rise 17.8 percent this year, triggering fears abroad about how the rising Asian power plans to spend the money.”The shower vehicles can automatically adjust water temperature and store quite a large amount of water,” said Li Chunyuan, head of logistics of the division under the Chengdu Military Command.

This truck would actually be pretty cool to have because in the US military our common shower method is usually a whole bunch of baby wipes or if you are lucky a five gallon water jug leaned off the side of a vehicle.
