While China and Taiwan have been bitter enemies for a while, interestingly their contemporary armies are organized in very similar fashion. At top sits the Corps level HQ, PLAGF calls it group army (集团军), ROC Army uses the term army (军团). Neither armies maintain division, their tactical maneuver units are combined arms brigades. PLA has four types of combat brigades: heavy, medium, light, and amphibious while ROC Army has two: armored, mechanized infantry. Additionally both armies also retain second line combat units. Infantry Brigades in ROC Army. Border defense and coast defense brigades in PLAGF. Within each combat brigade, the basic maneuver battalions share similar name and concept: combined battalion (合成营) in PLA terminology while in Taiwan military it is known as combined arms battalion (联兵营). Again you can see the influences from US Army. PLA group army also commands a fixed types of support brigades: aviation, artillery, air defense, special op, logistics, and engineer/chemical defense. For ROC Army each of her armies has a brigade sized artillery command including air defense battalion plus two regimental sized units called group (群), one for combat engineer and another one is NBC defense. However unlike PLA group army, Taiwanese field army doesn’t have special op nor aviation assets, those are pooled together under a separate Army Aviation and Special Op Command.

I actually like the term paper tiger for the PLA. If they were in a position of power then they wouldn't be uttering so many threats against countries. For example threatening Japan with a nuclear attack. Threatening 300,000 Canadians in Hong Kong (to be fair it was a Chinese ambassador that made this threat), flying warplanes through Taiwan airspace and escalating tensions with India as examples. If they were strong they wouldn't resort to biological warfare or attempting to infiltrate countries. Dont get me wrong, their military is up there as one of the strongest in the world. But they are also setting themselves up to be the Axis if a global conflict were to take place. They are alienating themselves. Especially when they ally with terrorists like the Taliban.

The United States uses a BCT system, while a lot of NATO countries like Canada and the U.K use a "battlegroup" system. Its very similar but its usually centered around crating a scalable combat group based on a mechanized or light infantry unit, and then attaching armoured, fires and combat service support as needed. Canada for example organizes their ground forces around a "Mechanized Brigade Group", it incorporates elements of all three BCT from the U.S but is rounded out to face a wide array of threats.

At least on paper. During Operation: Desert Storm, Iraq was defeated by a force less than a quarter of its size. The main purpose of the Chinese military is to keep its civilian population in line. After all, the military swears allegiance to the Communist Party and not China. To top it off, China thinks it has to defend itself from both India which has the manpower and the U.S. which has the firepower. This means that China's military is already fractured in three main parts before it can do anything.

@@orlock20 Who said anything about size? Iraq failed because it was under equipped and unprepared. China is both equipped and prepared, with equipment that can at the very least compete with its NATO equivalent, if not beat it outright. I mean, Iraq was using export versions of decades old Soviet tanks as the bulk of its armor. It didn't even have the productive capacity to build new equipment. The comparison to China is ludicrous.

Listen sons. The mark of an empire has nothing to do with a monarchy. This People’s Republic has evolved far beyond an internal power. Some considerate it a regional power. Others a great power. And some even a superpower. The important thing to note is the significant change from a territorial force of limited potential, to one of regional and international potential. I mentioned the infantry division because it is often the simplest and cheapest type. The Armored Brigade mentioned above requires attributes which they simply did not have in great numbers. Namely money and potential. Have I made myself clear?

Anti-Air battalion with ground based air defense, air traffic control and management, and airfield mission support/refueling. Littoral logistics battalion. The regiment is designed to be highly agile and optimized for distributed warfare of sea control operating deep inside PLA A2/AD bubbles. The unit relies on a new generation of amphibious ships called LAW for rapid deployment. The main assets are persistent unmanned platforms both in air and on ground, C2 nodes for all domain operations, ground based air defense and anti ship weapons, loitering munitions aka suicide drones, and lastly light ground mobility i.e. no tanks or any heavily armored vehicles. Marines can also be transported by air using medium and heavy choppers (V-22 and the new CH-53K)
