The joint command, which is at the second level of the commanding system in the exercise, was formed by the PLA Western Theater Command and the Eastern Military District of Russia, focusing on situation judgment and plan formulating.
联合筹划演练首次使用中俄指挥信息系统，这一系统可内联各个指控分中心，下接各个作战群（队）指挥所，必要时还可直达两军单兵平台末端，实现了态势信息实时共享，指令数据互联互通。
A China-Russia commanding information system was initiated in the drill, which connects various commanding posts, together with the individual platforms at the third level of the commanding system if necessary, realizing the real-time information sharing and commanding data communication.
双方运用甘特图、思维导图，统一规范和直观呈现作业筹划的成果，大大提高了两军联合筹划的效率和决策指挥的能力。
Both sides’ participating members use Gantt charts and mind maps to visually present the results of planning in a standardized manner, which greatly improves the efficiency of joint planning and the capability of decision-making and command of the two armed forces.
