PLA Theater Army Defense Against a U.S. Army Corps

This graphic represents a notional U.S. attack against a PLA theater command would be a multidivision, multidomain operation in which the corps employs several divisions to create and exploit successive penetrations, relying on the convergence of joint capabilities and unmanned systems to offset PLA advantages in range, massed fires, and information dominance. The theater command would employ multiple group armies in a joint campaign directed through the theater joint operations command center. The PLA defense would be supported by maritime, air, and conventional missile operations subcenters and enabled by the Information Support Force, Aerospace Force, Cyberspace Force, and Joint Logistics Support Force.
