| PLA was
established on August 1, 1927, and consisted of land forces
only in its early days. The Army is responsible primarily for
military operations on land. At present, the Army has no independent
leading organ, and the functions of the leading organ are exercised
by the four general headquarters/ departments. The seven military
area commands, namely, those of Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou,
Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu, exercise direct leadership
over the Army units under their command. |
