The General Office of the Central Military Commission is an administrative agency of the Central Military Commission at the theater deputy-grade, which assists the leaders with the day to day administrative operations of the CMC. Like all other CMC departments, it is a one institution with two names with both a state and Communist party name.^[1][2]

History

On November 11, 1949, the General Office of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government was established in the Jurentang of Zhongnanhai in Beijing as the administrative agency of the Central People's Revolutionary Military Commission. On 28 September 1954, the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party decided to re-establish the Central Military Commission of the CCP, with Mao Zedong as Chairman, with 12 members, and no vice chairman or standing committee members. Peng Dehuai presided over the work of the CMC, and Huang Kecheng was selected as the Secretary-General. The General Office also served as the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense, and also had jurisdiction over the General Staff Headquarters office and management section. On 27 November 1954, the office was renamed "General Office of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China", serving concurrently as the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense. The daily work of the CMC General Office was presided over by the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General. At the end of 1955, the CMC General Office moved out of Zhongnanhai.

In November 1965, in the run-in to the Cultural Revolution, Xiao Xiangrong, who had long served as the director of the CMC General Office, was criticized and dismissed for opposing "giving prominence to politics" (“突出政治” - Lin Biao's plan to focus military training on Mao Zedong thought). The General Staff sent a working group to the General Office to carry out the "four clean-ups" in the agency. At the same time, the CCP Central Committee approved the creation of a General Office of the General Staff Department that would also serve as the General Office of the CMC. Yang Chengwu was appointed as the director of the General Office of the General Staff. The CMC General Office became a second-level department of the General Staff. After November 1969, all GO assets, as well as the Foreign Affairs Bureau, were transferred to the General Staff Administration Department. At the end of 1970, the seal of the "General Office of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army" started to be officially used.

In April 1979, the General Office was separated from the General Staff and subordinated directly to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, but it still served as the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense. After June 1983, it also served as the General Office of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China.^[3][4][5][6]

Before the 2016 reforms, the General Office had the following structure:

• Office of the CMC Chairman (中央军委主席办公室)
• Political Work Department (政治部)^[7]
• Secretariat Bureau (秘书局)^[8]
• Comprehensive Research Bureau (综合调研局)^[9][10]

  • Logistics Support Service Center (后勤保障服务中心)^[16]

In November 2015, as part of military reforms, the department was reorganized into the General Office of the Central Military Commission.^[17]
