The five major military regions refer to the Eastern Theater, the Southern Theater, the Western Theater, the Northern Theater, and the Central Theater. These five major military regions are divided according to the establishment and geographical division of the squadrons, and each theater is responsible for certain defense tasks. Eastern Theater of Operations
Under the theater system, the theater command is usually headed by the theater commander and the theater political commissar, and has several branches and units under its jurisdiction, including the army, navy, air force, and rocket force. The provincial military districts in the theater are mainly responsible for the military work, national defense mobilization, reserve force building, and other tasks in their own regions, and at the same time assist the theater command in military command and management.
The establishment of the five major theaters is an important military reform measure carried out by the squadron in order to meet the requirements of modern warfare and enhance its combat effectiveness. Through this reform, the squadron will be able to mobilize and use military resources more flexibly and improve its rapid reaction capability and strategic projection capability for military operations.
The theater system of the squadron is indeed designed to enhance the joint combat capability and command efficiency. Under this system, theater-level commanders are responsible for developing and implementing military strategies to ensure rapid response to security challenges. The forces in the theater include units of different branches of the military, such as the army, navy, air force, rocket force, etc., which conduct joint operations under the unified command of the theater.
The theater system also emphasizes inter-service training and exercises to enhance the ability of the various services to coordinate operations. This ability to coordinate operations is essential for modern warfare, because the joint operations of different services can more effectively deal with complex battlefield environments.
Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation ArmyIt is the same as the jurisdiction of the original Nanjing Military Region, plus the East China Sea Fleet, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Armed Police in the Military Region, with the headquarters in Nanjing and the army organs in Fuzhou. He leads and commands the armed forces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi and Shanghai Municipality.
Southern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation ArmyIt includes the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces of the former Guangzhou Military Region (except Hubei Province) and the former Chengdu Military Region, as well as the South China Sea Fleet, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Armed Police under their jurisdiction, with the headquarters in Guangzhou and the army organs in Nanning. Lead and command the armed forces of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
Western Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army: It was formed by the merger of the former Chengdu Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region (except Yunnan, Guizhou and Shaanxi provinces), with the headquarters in Chengdu and the army organs in Lanzhou. Lead and command the armed forces of Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Chongqing.
Chinese Northern Theater of the People's Liberation ArmyIt has jurisdiction over the three eastern provinces plus Inner Mongolia and Shandong (i.e., the former Shenyang Military Region plus Inner Mongolia and Shandong) and the North Sea Fleet, Air Force, Rocket Force, and Armed Police under its jurisdiction, with the headquarters in Shenyang and the army organs in Jinan. Lead and command the armed forces of Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and Shandong.
Central Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation ArmyIncluding the current Beijing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, excluding Inner Mongolia, which was formerly part of the Beijing Military Region, and Shandong, which was formerly part of the Jinan Military Region, plus Hubei, which was formerly part of the Guangzhou Military Region, and Shaanxi, which was formerly part of the Lanzhou Military Region, the headquarters is stationed in Beijing, and the army organs are stationed in Shijiazhuang. Lead and command the armed forces of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and Shaanxi. The importance of the Central Theater lies in the fact that it is directly responsible for the defense of the capital Beijing, and at the same time undertakes the task of maintaining stability in the central region.
The reform of the theater system also reflects the trend of the squadron changing from the traditional regional defense type to the all-domain mobile type, and better adapts itself to the new situation of the theater system and development. Through this reform, the squadron will be able to mobilize and use military resources more flexibly and improve its rapid reaction capability and strategic projection capability for military operations.
Generally speaking, the establishment of the five major theaters is an important military reform measure carried out by the squadron in order to meet the requirements of modern warfare and enhance its combat effectiveness.
