There is a majestic and powerful branch of China's armed police force, the Coast Guard. The unit was originally a mysterious unit under the leadership of the State Oceanic Administration, and since July 1, 2018, it has been divided under the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, and its full name is the Chinese People's Armed Police Force Coast Guard Force. This feat demonstrates China's determination to safeguard its territorial integrity and national interests, as well as its commitment to building a strong coast guard force. This move represents the complete transformation of the unit from a "unit dominated by administrative functions" to a "unit with a militarized background".
The Coast Guard is mainly responsible for maritime security, maritime administrative law enforcement, and maritime crime investigation in waters under China's sovereign jurisdiction. In accordance with China's principle of administrative division, these onerous and extensive tasks are assigned to the Coast Guard and its subordinate detachments and provincial detachments.
China's coast guard force currently has a coast guard corps with 17 coast guard detachments, which can be subdivided into two types. The first is the direct detachment, which is framed by the mission area, and there are six in total. They are part of the Coast Guard Corps, which is mainly responsible for carrying out tasks in designated areas, and cadres with division rank serve as detachment leaders and deputy detachment leaders. On the other hand, the provincial-level detachments were arranged according to the administrative divisions of the mainland, and there were eleven in total. Each of these coastal provinces has a provincial-level detachment, such as the detachments of the Coast Guard Corps in Liaoning, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces.
Provincial detachments are mainly responsible for various matters in their jurisdiction, such as maritime security, administrative law enforcement, and maritime crime investigation, and they look as heroic and decisive as the colonels of the armed police. However, the rank is usually lower than that of the direct detachment, and the cadres who are in the brigade position (which can also be used as the deputy division position) usually assume the responsibility of the detachment leader, and the position of deputy detachment leader is often held by the colonel of the armed police who has been promoted to the rank of regimental officer. In addition, these coast guard brigades living in prefecture-level cities in coastal provinces belong to the deputy regiment level; The coast guard workstation located in the county-level administrative division belongs to the deputy battalion level unit.
The Armed Police Coast Guard Corps is not the only one with a more elaborate battle sequence, in fact, there are three units of the deputy military rank, and they show a clear hierarchy. In order to respond more quickly and effectively to complex and changeable maritime conditions, the system draws on the tactical model of the navy and sets up maritime headquarters in different areas along the coastline: the Beihai Maritime District Command is located in Shandong, commanding the "Liaoning, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong" detachments, and the sixth detachment directly under it; The headquarters of the East China Sea Maritime District is located in the bustling city of Shanghai, and is responsible for coordinating the detachments of "Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Fujian" and their direct subordinates.
1. The second detachment; The South China Sea Maritime District Headquarters is located in Guangdong, and has direct jurisdiction over the "Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan" detachments and subordinate detachments.
III. Fourth, the fifth detachment. This is like the close cooperation between the "theater navy" and the "naval headquarters," adding a steady stream of impetus to the coast guard corps. The commander and political commissar are all major generals of the armed police who have reached the rank of deputy military officer, and they stand tall on the coastal front, raise the flag and sail, stick to their posts, and swear to defend the blue territory of the motherland.
To sum up, the organizational structure of the Armed Police Coast Guard Corps can be called high-end, like a flagship in the ocean, and its powerful strength is like a turbulent wave, including three deputy army-level units, six full-division level units, and 11 deputy division-level units, and its tight organization and strong strength constitute a tough barrier to maintaining maritime order.
