The Beijing Garrison District is a military district of corps grade (正军级) under the direct jurisdiction of the People's Liberation Army Headquarters and the Central Military Commission.[3] The Garrison is responsible for the defense of the city of Beijing, the protection of all the state institutions in the capital, military mobilization in case of war, and civilian-military relations.

The Beijing Garrison District was created from the old Beijing Military Region in August of 2016, as part of the 2015 reforms.[5] Due to the importance of the capital, and the sensitivity of its military affairs, the garrison was given its own military district, distinct to the Central Theater Command, and was placed directly under the control of the Central Military Commission.

History

Another peculiarity, only shared with the Xinjiang Military District, is that Beijing units preserved their traditional division/regiment structure rather than become brigades as elsewhere in the PLA.[6] Its current leaders are commander Chen Yuan and political commissar Zhu Jun.[7][8]
