3.1 Western Theatre Command
WTC is the largest among all 5 TCs and is responsible for securing India, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Tajikistan borders with China. It has no naval assets and will coordinate with the naval fleet of Southern TC in case of any hostilities with India. Its major focus is on India and has multiple units deployed in direct opposition to Indians at Depsang, Galwan, Hot Spring, Pangong Tso, Demchok and Chumar sectors.
WTC consists of 76th and 77th GAs plus Xinjiang Military District (XMD) and Tibetan Military District (TMD) forces. TMD and XMD are assigned the status of deputy theatre level units and are under direct command of PLA Ground forces. This gives PLA commanders some extra freedom with taking their own initiatives without direct approval from CMC. Some senior commanders of these two MDs are given high level posts in local governments. One of their main roles is internal security and suppression of dissent and insurgencies.

Xinjiang Military District
XMD’s area of operations with respect to India includes western borders comprising of Laddakh and Himachal Pradesh. It has around 90,000+ soldiers in 4 Divisions with roughly 13000 troops each plus a few independent units. Many of these soldiers belong to local ethnic minorities. Xinjiang MR thus has the largest representation of Chinese minorities compared to all other military formations. The infantry regiments used to have 4 battalions each having 3 companies with 3 platoons each^ and were equipped with -Type-86 tracked ICV, 6 WZ-551 & 8 VN-1 wheeled APCs carrying Red Arrow 10 ATGM. The Divisional HQs usually were company sized units with EW and CBRN battalion plus AD platoon and guard company.
Reports coming in during 2020 and later suggested that some units under XMD have been converted into combined arms structure. The original Motor Infantry Divisions and Mechanised Infantry Divisions have been converted into or in process of conversions into Combined Arms Divisions structure with 2 Regiments each. One difference is that the new CARs have 3 Battalions each.The changes have come with induction of modern equipment such as HQ-16 SAM, Type-04A ICV, PH-03 MBRLs, Type-05 SPHs and Type-15 light tanks. Some other sources suggest that XMD has Combined Armed Divisions (CAD) with two Combined Arms Regiments, each with 3 CABts plus support units. There were 7 Logistics sub-departments and one Motor Transport Regiment which probably have been merged with JLSF.
There were 7 Logistics sub-departments and one Motor Transport Regiment in Lanzhou MR which probably have been merged with JLSF. Motor Transport Regiment, 29th, 30th, 31st and 32nd sub-departments were in Xinjiang, while Qinghai, Gansu and Shaanxi had 25th, 27th and 28th sub-departments.
One medium CABt armed with Type-09 8X8 vehicles entered service with XMD in May 2021. The video footage showed 70 armoured wheeled vehicles including 14 ZTL-11s with 105 mm gun, 19 ZBL-09 ICVs, 6 C&C vehicles, recovery vehicles and possibly 2 ZSL-92 mounted mortars on 6×6 wheeled vehicles. It also included a few 122mm SPH and 10 PHL-03 MBRLs
Following ORBAT is from pre-2020 reorganisation. There is limited information about how these 4 Divisions have been reorganised in to CA Brigades or are using a different command structure. Another point to be noted is that two divisions are deployed at Indo-Tibet border at any time with the other two in rear echelons.

You didn’t seem to get a lot of attention for this but I just wanted to let you know this is some great stuff!
Its so much of hard work
Great
Can you share something on UAV Brigade, EW Brigade and Marine Brigade – organization, capability etc
Thanks. Marines have been covered to some extent in one of the posts. There isn’t much useful information available about the rest right now. Maybe will write something in a few months
It`s something different USA DoD`s report. so ot will be better cross check.

Hello, these details will be available at https://www.patreon.com/jjamwal
I find some wrongs, but I’m Chinese. Regrettably I can’t share them.
Why not? There’s no secrets to keep from the US. JJ has done a fantastical job from published sources. Saying “you’re wrong but I cant reveal my sources” is morally wrong.
