History

The predecessor of the Logistic Support Department was the General Logistics Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the 2015 military reforms, the GLD was abolished and reorganized "Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission."[5]

The CMC LSD took over the logistic administrative activities of the GSD and more, including functions such as military logistics support planning, policy research, formulation of standards and classification systems, inspection and supervision of logistics system, and coordination with the Joint Logistics Support Force operational functions.[6] It is tasked with adjusting and optimizing the allocation of support forces, and creating logistic command systems that are compatible with the joint operational command structures, integrate the centralized and decentralized logistic support units, and support both the general and specialized supply line structures.[7]

On 24 November 2017, the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission summarized and discussed the Support Base in Djibouti project construction experience. During this period, the Ministry and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly promote military-civilian integration in the construction of military facilities.[8]
