The reporters learned from the working conference on pilot projects of overall construction of modern logistics of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) which was concluded on May 9 that the PLA logistic departments had made satisfying phrasal achievements over the past 1-plus year through constantly improving the logistic support capacity of information-system-based systematic operations and further carrying out the pilot projects of overall construction of modern logistics of the PLA in earnest implementation of the “Outline of Overall Construction of Modern Logistics of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army”.

Since the pilot projects started, all major units and troop units concerned have not only attached much importance to summing up their own experience, but also boldly learnt from the advanced practice in this regard from the militaries of developed countries. A group army of the PLA Nanjing Military Area Command has basically sought out a development mode of modern logistics for army troops featuring “combat logistics, information logistics, and intensive logistics”. A base of the PLA Second Artillery Force has also established its development mode “driven by substantial pursuit, equipped with systematic supporting facilities, dominated by information technology and featuring precise support as well as standardized management”.

Qin Yinhe, deputy director of the PLA General Logistics Department, attended the conference and delivered a speech.
