The Logistic Support Department of the Central Military Commission[1] (Chinese: 中央军委后勤保障部) is a first-level functional department of Theater Deputy grade under the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China. It was founded on January 11, 2016, under Xi Jinping's military reforms.[2] The department organizes and leads the logistics unit construction and development, as well as administering and overseeing the barracks, housing, supplies, and hospitals of the People's Liberation Army. It is based in 22 Wanshou St, Hadian District, Beijing. Its first director was Gen. Zhao Keshi. The current director is Lt. Gen. Zhang Lin. [3][4]
The predecessor of the Logistic Support Department was the General Logistics Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the 2015 military reforms, the GLD was abolished and reorganized "Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission."[5]
