At an official ceremony of the People's Liberation Army on Dec 31, top leader Xi Jinping, conferred military flags on the general command of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force. The Second Artillery Force, founded in 1966 as China's core strategic deterrent force, has been officially renamed and promoted as one of the four army units of the PLA.

"It was mainly for secrecy reasons that China named its first missile force Second Artillery Force in 1966," says Shao Yongling, a professor at the PLA Rocket Force Commanding Academy, which was known as the SAF Commanding Academy. "But the SAF was not very different from other artillery forces of the time. Its shooting range was hundreds of kilometers, and it served as a supporting force of the army ." Moreover, most of the first SAF officers and soldiers were later shifted out of the artillery force.

Of course, it is no longer necessary for China to hide its missile forces under a vague name. So, by giving it a new name and making it a distinct armed unit different from a branch, China is promoting military transparency, Shao says.

For long, the SAF commander's designation has been the same as that of corresponding officers in the PLA Navy and the PLA Air Force. The command system of the force, too, has been similar to that of the other two armed forces. This means not too many changes will take place in the armed unit within a short period.

The reform will be rather influential in the long run, however. Apart from the high possibility of being strengthened, "being a distinct armed unit means the Rocket Force can now fight independently", Shao says. "In contrast, a branch is supposed to only support other forces, a definition that is incompatible with the Rocket Force's capacity and actual role."

The reform is recognition of the growing capability of China's missile forces; it also raises expectations of its better performance in the future, she says.
