Chinese Army

The Chinese Army is the strongest military presence in Hong Kong. Chinese Army in these documents will refer to specifically those elements of the Army that are specifically tasked with local defense and law enforcement in the area.

These elements are gathered into a single unit on the Chinese Order of Battle in order to simplify chain of command issues and maximize unit morale. This unit is under the personal command of an officer with the historical English rank of Captain; however, the actual rank held by this person is on the border between a colonel and a general.

There is little need for a fully armed and uniformed unit in the Hong Kong of today. Their militancy and full combat dress stem for the demands of their current commander, Qong Po. Many of the members of the unit owe personal loyalty to Qong Po.

Combat potential is quite significant, as the unit is well trained and armed. The standard operating soldier is a Private armed with a standard-issue pistol. Their NCOs carry assault rifles and have training in urban combat. The backbone of the force, however, is the specially trained Commandos, who use assault rifles but are also lethal in hand-to-hand and other CQB techniques.
