碩士 / 國防大學 / 戰略研究所 / 107 / In recent years, the development of the People's Liberation Army Marine Corps (PLAMC) transformed its role from merely defending islands and reefs to an offensive-oriented strategic force. The main objectives behind such change came from the needs to secure the expansion of Nansha Reef, supporting the new East China Sea force in island disputes, as a contingency to deal with “Taiwan issue” and the maintenance of the country's overseas interests, and to better supporting China’s overseas deployment needs to fulfill its responsibility as a “Great Power”. Available data indicates that it has expanded from 2 bri-gades to at least 7, while a new Marine Corps command headquarter has been established. In addition, based on an analysis of the hierarchy of the commands and the political commissars, we can expect its size to grow to 10 brigades comparable to the army level, with a total strength of more than 50,000. On the other hand, the establishment of China’s first overseas security base and the potential development of other ports also show that more Marines will be put overseas in the future. Therefore, from the offshore to the far sea, whether it is the Marine Corps’ global combat capability, amphibious armoured vehicles, or the development of large amphibious ships and rapid transport carriers must keep up with the pace of demand, these can be observed from the additional of the Marine Corps Remote Mobile training, as well as the 071 amphibious dockyard landing ship, the 075 amphibious attack ship, the establishment of an air brigade, and even the future development of maritime pre-service units. Its amphibious landing doctrine will also change from the traditional model and adopt a more modular, synthetic grouping while using small-scale assault in combat to seize targets of strategic value. In addition, from the overseas military operations carried out by the Marines in recent years, it has been showing increasing flexible and mobility in operations, and with the establishment of China’s overseas bases and the surge in demand for garrison troops, its marines may independently form an expedition combat brigade. The expansion of the Marines into a full branch military forces also cannot be ruled out. All of these indicate China’s aggressive push to develop an overseas expedition force simi-lar to those of the U.S. military to help it project force globally.
