Key findings are: 1) recent PLA exercises and operations point to an increasing interest in developing expeditionary naval capabilities; 2) PLA ground force exercises focus on moving military power within China; 3) through its participation in international military exercises as well as peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions, the PLA is gaining greater capabilities to deploy outside of China's borders, and 4) PLA operations are increasingly supported by a modern, civilian-integrated military logistics network.
