Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. vi, 390 p. Endnotes. This is a Strategic Studies Institute book. To better understand the PLA's ability to employ its developing capabilities in a variety of potential scenarios, this volume examines how the PLA learns through its exercises and noncombat operations. 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. Roy Kamphausen is a Senior Associate for Political and Security Affairs at The National Bureau of Asian Research and a faculty member at George Washington University and Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.
