    INDO-PACIFIC PLA Adopts New Digital Camouflage for All Services OE Watch Commentary: The PLA is beginning to transition to a new type of camouflage, an updated digital pattern that will be used across all services and arms. China began development of camouflage in the 1980s, releasing the Type 81, a mottled camouflage roughly similar to the “Frog Skin” or “Duck Hunter” patterns. Improvements came with the high contrast Type 87 with rounded leaf pattern similar to US woodland, that with some improvements, was still used as late as 2007 across most of the PLA. In the late 2000s, the PLA adopted the digital Type 07 pattern which has since become the standard across the PLA. Type 07 also had a multitude of service and climate-specific types including a basic pattern, Navy and Army Special Forces pattern, and terrain-specific patterns for the People’s Armed Police and Rocket Force. According to the accompanying article, it suffered several deficiencies, such as the use of impractical blue for PLA Tank crew wearing Type 07 camouflage participate in the Tank Biathlon 2018 in Russia.

  • The Joint Operation Structure of the Chinese People's Liberation Army with Focus on the Reorganization of the Chain of Command
    The Joint Operation Structure of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army with Focus on the Reorganization of the Chain of Command and Control under the Xi Jinping Administration* Yasuyuki Sugiura** Abstract In November 2013, at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, announced the implementation of national defense and military reform. Drawing special attention among the series of reforms was the question of what kind of organizational reform China would be doing to strengthen the joint operation structure. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reforms, announced in waves between the autumn of 2015 and February 2016, exceeded the expectations of many observers by beginning with the abolition of the four general departments structure and the seven military regions system. This change has been called the “greatest reform since the birth of the nation,” with some even calling it the Chinese version of the Goldwater–Nichols Act. The main interest of this study lies in revealing the present situations of the joint operation structure of the PLA with a focus on the reorganization of the chain of command and control through the series of reforms. Specifically, the main purpose of this study is to shed light on the following points: 1) Overview: How did the reform unfold, and what changed? 2) The features and the aims: What are the features of the reform, and what are the aims? 3) Political background: Why did they launch the reform, and

  • “Young Guards”: the Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part III: Personal and Political)
    Promoting “Young Guards”: The Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part III: Personal and Political) Cheng Li The most noticeable trend under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 2012 National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been the continuing consolidation of power. In particular, the military has been a key forum in which Xi has strengthened both his personal power and his new administration’s authority. Xi has adopted several approaches and political tactics to achieve this, including purging the two highest-ranking generals under the previous administration for corruption and other charges; arresting 52 senior military officers on various charges of wrongdoing; reshuffling generals between regions, departments, and services; attempting to systematically reform the PLA’s structure and operations; and, last but not least, rapidly promoting “young guards” ( ) in the Chinese military. These bold moves will have profound implications—not only for Xi’s political standing in the lead-up to the next leadership turnover in 2017, but also for the development of civilian-military relations in the country and for the trajectory of China’s military modernization. The third installment in this series focuses on personnel changes that have occurred during the early phase of military reform. Who are the rising stars in the PLA following the recent reorganization and reshuffling? What are the distinguishing characteristics of the “young guards”? What are possible explanations for and implications of some of the highest-level

    CHAPTER 2 CHINA’S IMPACT ON U.S. SECURITY INTERESTS SECTION 1: MILITARY AND SECURITY YEAR IN REVIEW Introduction This section—based on a Commission hearing, discussions with outside experts and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) officials, and independent research—examines China’s late 2012 national and military leadership transition, China’s 2012 defense white paper, China’s 2013 defense budget, China’s military moderniza- tion, security developments involving China, and the U.S.-China security relationship. The section concludes with a discussion of China’s impact on U.S. security interests. See chapter 2, section 2 and chapter 2, section 3, for coverage of China’s cyber activities and China’s maritime disputes, respectively. Leadership Transition President Xi Jinping Assumes Central Military Commission Chairmanship China’s late 2012 leadership transition brought the largest turn- over to the Central Military Commission (CMC) * in a decade. Xi Jinping assumed the position of both CMC chairman and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary at the CCP’s 18th Party Congress on November 15, 2012. President Xi then completed his accession as China’s senior leader by becoming the People’s Repub- lic of China (PRC) president on March 14, 2013. Although Presi- dent Xi was widely expected to eventually assume all three of Chi- na’s top leadership posts, many observers were surprised by the speed of his elevation to CMC chairman. Official Chinese press de- scribed President Xi’s early promotion as an ‘‘unusual twist to Chi- na’s leadership transition’’ and praised outgoing CMC Chairman Hu Jintao for his decision to step down.1 Mr.

The direction of such change is still unknown but few believe that the status quo will be maintained. On the other hand, China continues on its way to become increasingly stronger and more influential in world affairs.

  • The Dragon's Quantum Leap
    1 Cover China’s military leaders, breaking with their past reliance on the sheer mass of their mechanized armies, have decided to significantly transcend their current rules and regulations, organizational structures, and dated equipment with informatized concepts. This strategic redirection may well represent a “quantum-like” leap beyond their present-day military capabilities. The two dragons on the cover symbolize this explosive break with the mechanized past and their emergent future with an effectively more agile, multi-spectrum force. 2 3 The views expressed in this document are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Department of Defense or the US government. The author works for the Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. FMSO is a component of the US Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The office is charged with preparing studies and assessments based on the reading of foreign and domestic publications and through contacts with a network of foreign and US military and civilian security specialists. FMSO researches, writes, and publishes from unclassified sources about the military establishments, doctrines, and practices of selected foreign armed forces. It also studies a variety of civil-military and transnational security issues affecting the US and its military forces. FMSO products are prepared for the US Army and other services, the Department of Defense, as well as nonDoD organizations to include the Treasury and Justice Departments. 4 This book is dedicated to Western analysts studying China. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The author used only open-source translations for the construction of this document.
