bingtuan (an abolished PLA organizational level) Explanation: Due to the complexity of every country's military system, it' really difficult to translate this Chinese military term into English, so in this academic work by Rand on PLA's organizational structure it is left untranslated, or just spelled in pinyin: [PDF] The People's Liberation Army as Organization: Reference Volume v1.0 situation lasted until the 1985 military region consolidation mentioned above, when the. PLAAF operational boundaries were finally matched to ..... In addition, every PLA organization, whether it is a service, branch, administrative ... www.rand.org/pubs/conf_proceedings/CF182/CF182.ch1.pdf While the Chinese clearly understand the terms juntuan, bingtuan, jituanjun, and jun, they are not easily translated into English.12 Although the table shows the juntuan, bingtuan, and jituanjun as organizations at the same level, they are not equal. It is better to look at them in terms of levels of headquarters.13 If the PLA had first, second, and third-level armies, then there would be a fairly accurate delineation. At the top would be the juntuan, which more closely translates as an army group. A juntuan is a formation that, if used in the US Army, would command more than one bingtuan, which is essentially a group of armies. In the Chinese case, an army equates to a US Army corpslevel organization (i.e. composed of more than one maneuver division). If bingtuan was an operational concept today for maneuver units, then a bingtuan would be composed of two or more jituanjun or corps-level units, which would in turn have subordinate division-level maneuver units and assorted lower-level units based on specialty. In other words, the jituanjun would be the operational units that are subordinate to the bingtuan or the juntuan. Although the PLA no longer has juntuan and bingtuan as organizational entities, these terms are oftentimes used to depict certain organizational levels within the overall PLA structure. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-08-23 01:13:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Some PLA writings refer to a division as an "operational and tactical bingtuan" at the combat (zhandou) level of war. What exactly does this mean? Historically, the PLA has divided its twelve organizational entities (from the general departments to the squad level) into various functional groups or tiers (cengci jiegou). PLA writings use the following six groups and assigned organizational entities to refer to the armed forces' organizational structure during the period of the Red Army and early PLA years.14 • Zongbu: General departments • Zhanqu: Theaters of War/Military regions • Juntuan: Front army, army • Bingtuan: Corps, division, brigade • Budui: Regiment • Fendui: Battalion, company, platoon, squad Although these categories are still evident in some PLA literature,15 according to discussions with PLA officials, the PLA ceased using the juntuan and bingtuan categories |
