    The Mountain Eagle Commando Unit (Chinese: 山鹰突击队) is a police tactical unit of the People's Armed Police based in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.[1] The unit was publicly shown to the media on 20 August 2019.[1][2] Its name is derived from its designated operational areas, consisting of mountains and plateaus.[2]

    It is the third police tactical unit to be established by the People's Armed Police after the Snow Leopard Commando Unit and the Falcon Unit.[3][4]

    Mission[edit]

    The Mountain Eagle Commando was revealed under the 2017-2018 People's Armed Police reform and is tasked to deal with counterterrorism missions in Xinjiang.[1] The unit is specially trained in order to conduct operations on horseback to deal with terrain difficult for vehicles.[2]

    Operations[edit]

    According to the People's Liberation Army Daily, the unit has an intense operational history.[1]
