Lulu Press The People In The PLA by Andrew Scobell Roy Kamphausen Travis Tanner Strategic Studies Institute
I am pleased that for the second year in a row the U.S. Army War College and The National Bureau of Asian Research NBR teamed up to convene the annual PLA colloquium. Over the years this event has successfully increased understanding of Chinas military and the multiple aspects of its ongoing modernization effort. Last year was no exception. On September 28 2007 under the joint leadership of the U.S. Army War Colleges Strategic Studies Institute and NBRs Pyle Center for Northeast Asian Studies approximately 70 leading experts on the Peoples Liberation Army PLA convened at Carlisle Barracks PA for a 2-day discussion on the Chinese militarys human infrastructure. Presentations and discussions at the conference focused on identifying trends in recruitment education training personnel management and demographics within the PLA.show more
