The 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.
