	People's Liberation Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PLA was established on August 1, 1927, as the military arm of the Communist Party of China.
		The People's Liberation Army's insignia consists of a round device with a design of a red star bearing the Chinese characters for August 1 (Chinese:八一, Pinyin: bā yī), which was the anniversary of the 1927 Nanchang Uprising, surrounded by wheat ears and cog wheels.
		The People's Liberation Army was founded on August 1, 1927 during the Nanchang Uprising when troops of the Kuomintang (KMT) rebelled under the leadership of Zhu De and Zhou Enlai at the end of the first Kuomintang-Communist alliance, a fallout which developed into the Chinese Civil War.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1999-2000
		The Army dragged its feet in response to SACEUR's request for an Apache deployment; the helicopters were deployed at a glacial pace and with a ponderous 5,000-man contingent of support troops, including ground defense forces and MLRS batteries designed to suppress possible Serbian artillery attacks on the Apaches.
		The Army's marginal relevance to the war against Serbia was not ascribable solely to the White House's political unwillingness--strongly supported by the Army--to commit ground forces to combat.
		The Iraqi army was gutted by US air power; the Iranian army's tank park belongs in the Smithsonian; the Russian army remains a joke after Chechnya; the North Korean army is technologically primitive and lacks staying power; and nobody in the Pentagon is planning to fight the Chinese on the ground.

		In early March 1959, the Peoples Liberation Army invited the Dalai Lama to visit an army camp outside the capital, Lhasa.

		The Ministry of National Defense was created in 1954 and under it the Training Supervision Department insured the unified direction of the education and training of the various arms of the army, and provided policy guidance for the education and training of the naval and air forces.
		Since Chinese military doctrine places the highest priority on political and ideological indoctrination, the CR was for the entire Peoples Liberation Army a period of maximum exposure to this most important aspect of training.
		The army has always lived with substantial demands on resources that otherwise could have been devoted to the sharpening of combat skills, and during the CR, training restrictions were undoubtedly tightened.

	PLAAF - Chinese Aviation in Technology
		The birth of the PLAAF (Peoples' Liberation Army Air Force) brought the rest of the world down in size and military capability owing to the fact that the pure strengh of the PLAAF cannot ever be underestimated or over powered by any one-man country such as its' neighborouring partners, Japan, Korea or Taiwan.
		The PLA (Peoples' Liberation Army) and the PLAAF had studied greatly in this and between the 60's, they began to build missiles of their own including ICMB's (Inter-continental Ballistic Missiles) and their now recent developed project, the Chinese Dong Feng Missiles.
		One of the major achievements made by China, besides the great leap foward, was the formation of the PLA, PLAAF and the newly acquired navy consisting now over 500,000 PLA Marines.

	Press Releases: Sudan, Sudan: CJMC Press Conference Transcript for 26 Apr 2006
		As far as the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army (SPLA) movement is concerned, we had a very historic movement starting from three, five days back when the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army (SPLA), during the Phase I, had started redeploying from eastern Sudan towards southern Sudan.
		We got all the figures over and there are 2,000 people plus and a large body of major equipment moving down to the south which includes about 13 tanks, 4 APCs and a lot of large guns.
		This issue of the LRA is causing us problems and causing problems of insecurity to the population and even preventing refugees from returning from the neighboring countries and is even displacing some people, as we are talking now, from their home areas to come to the town.

	NationMaster - Chinese Military statistics
		Because of the historical legacy having once controlled Mainland China, the army has traditionally been the most important of Taiwan's military forces, although this has declined in recent years with the realization that the army's role in defending against a PRC invasion is limited.
		The Republic of China Coast Guard was created as a separate branch in 2001 from related police and military units and is administered by the Executive Yuan.
		Should hostilities occur, current ROC military doctrine centers upon the principle of "offshore engagement" where the primary goal of the armed forces in any conflict with the PRC would be to keep as much of the fighting away from Taiwan proper for as long as possible to minimize damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties.
