People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces
The People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces refer to the various special operations units belonging to the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force and Rocket Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. They specialize in direct action, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and counter-terrorism operations. Each theater command controls their own SOF units. The units rely on external support to conduct missions. Most ground SOF are organized like conventional light infantry units. In 2022, many units were recently converted from conventional forces and likely had capabilities closer to shock troops than special forces. In 2022, the PLA SOF consisted of 15 Ground Force (PLAGF) brigades, one Marine Corps (PLANMC) brigade, one Airborne Corps (PLAAFAC) brigade, and the Rocket Force (PLARF) Reconnaissance Regiment.
