The Wuxi Joint Logistics Support Center (无锡联勤保障中心), located at Wuxi, Jiangsu province is the local head organ of the Joint Logistics Support Force at the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.[1]
In June 1962, the Nanjing Military Area established the 13th logistic branch department of the PLA, based in Wuxi, with subordinate bases 63, 64, 65. In August 1975, the unit was given the MUCD Unit 83476.[2]
As part of the 2015 military reforms the Joint Logistics Support Force was established in January 2016. Its principal organ was the Wuhan Joint Logistics Support Base.[3] On 13 September 2016, the five main Joint Logistics Centers at Wuxi, Guilin, Xining, Shenyang and Zhengzhou were established as the subordinate units of the Wuhan JLSB,[1] using the existing logistic units of the Theater Commands.
