All the members of the CMC are members of the Command Center.[4] There are local JOCOs at every command theater, which are subordinate to the Beijing JOCC.[5][2]

History

edit

The Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission was established at the beginning of the 21st century in part to coordinate air operations in the East China Sea.[6] The center was originally affiliated to the General Staff Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and was responsible for the joint command of the three armed forces branches.[5] Originally called the Joint Operations Command Bureau of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Liu Yulin served as its deputy director.[7][8]

By 2014, the Joint Operations Command Center was located in the Staff Department's Xishan Underground Command Compound at Dongsimu Village, Xianhongqi, Haidian District, Beijing, a compound 100 meters underground and designed to resist a nuclear strike.[9]

At the Central Military Commission reform work conference in November 2015, it was proposed to "establish theater-level joint operations command organizations and improve the Military Commission's joint operations command organization".[10] In January 2016 the center's parent organization General Staff Department of the PLA was abolished as part of the 2015 military reforms and the center was reorganized into the newly formed Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission.[11] In 2016 the engineering design research and innovation team of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (specialist in underground facilities) renovated the new Joint Operations Command Center.[12][13] On 20 April 2016, Xi Jinping went on an inspection tour of the new facilities, and this was the first time the Center operating room was revealed to the public with photos.[14] A visit to the JOCC in 2022 was also the first occasion in which Xi was referred to as "Commander-of-Chief of the Central Military Commission"[15] (军委联指总指挥)

The JOCC was transferred from the Joint Staff Department to direct control by the CMC sometime in 2022[16]
