The People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force is the rear echelon and logistics arm of the People's Liberation Army. It was established on 13 September 2016 and was recognized as an arm of the People's Liberation Army on 19 April 2024, with a Deputy Theater grade.
The JLSF was formed by integrating elements of the former General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army and the logistics components of the former Military Districts. It is structured around a central "Logistics Base" in Wuhan (a major transport hub, located very close to the "weight center" of China) and five joint logistics support centers assigned to each of the five Theater Commands.
