Even as U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh III was visiting China, the Chinese military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), was conducting "Mission Action-2013 C," the final part of a series of large-scale exercises involving the PLA Air Force, the PLA Navy Air Force, and ground force units.
According to Chinese press reports, these exercises will include simulated air combat operations, joint air defense, and cross-military region deployments of forces.
This latest series of exercises continues a trend of the past several years marking the growing importance of joint operations in the Chinese conception of military preparations. Where the PLA used to be much more focused on individual service operations, more recent exercises have involved forces drawn from various services. It is also noteworthy that Chinese space forces have been part of "Mission Action-2013 C," with the Chinese Beidou navigation satellite constellation specifically mentioned.
