Chinese Army

CHINESE MILITARY ORGANIZATION Like all modern powers, China has a broadly structured national security system in which its forces are supported by a wide range of other organizations, security structures, and paramilitary forces. While China’s strategic doctrine describes how China’s armed forces will fight in the twenty-first century, its theoretical approach does not give a detailed picture of the PLA’s ability to fight as its doctrine demands. Examining the organizational structure of the PLA and its institutional modernization helps clarify its ability to fight and to understand the changes in each individual service’s force structure. The changes in China’s military organization—specifically the character, roles, and missions of each element of Chinese military and security forces—reflect a major shift toward modernization over the last two decades. These shifts are also reflected in its military personnel forces, equipment, deployments, and tactics summarized in the following chapters. At the same time, there still are key uncertainties in assessing the effectiveness of such developments. China has not fought a modern war, or any serious conflict for decades. This makes it difficult to assess how the impact of such widespread institutional reforms would really impact the PLA if it had to operate in a wartime situation. PLA Military Organization The PLA comprises China’s main armed forces and is exclusively under the authority of the Central Military Commission (CMC). Although it is called the People’s Liberation Army, the PLA consists of four services—the PLA Army (PLAA), the PLA Navy (PLAN), PLA Air Force (PLAAF)—and as of December 31, 2015, the PLA Rocket Force (PLARF).1 Additionally, China uses paramilitary forces—in particular, the Coast Guard—to patrol the waters within the ninedash line, as discussed previously.
