The National Defense Mobilization Commission (NDMC) is an organization in China responsible for coordinating decisions concerning military affairs, strategic plans and defense mobilization. It operates simultaneously under the State Council and the Central Military Commission. It is responsible for bringing together civic resources in the event of a war, and coordinating these efforts with military operations. The commission is usually chaired by the Premier of the State Council. It was established by the "National Defense Mobilization Law" in November 1994.[1][2]
