The JLSF was formed by integrating elements of the former General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army and the logistics components of the former Military Areas. It is structured around a central "Logistics Base" in Wuhan (a major transport hub, located very close to the "weight center" of China) and five joint logistics support centers assigned to each of the five Theater Commands.
