New Pattern of Unified Management and Shared Use of Warehousing Resources Across the Entire Military Taking Shape at Accelerated Pace

全军仓储资源统管共用新格局加快形成

PLA Daily (解放军报) 23 May 2026

Summary

The CMC Logistical Support Department is accelerating a military-wide reform to consolidate warehousing under unified management and cross-unit shared allocation, replacing a fragmented system in which individual units, specialties, and service branches controlled their own storage capacity — a structure that produced materiel rotation bottlenecks and aging inventory accumulation. The article documents a concrete institutional problem: joint logistics support has been constrained not just by doctrine or command authority but by physical storage fragmentation, and this reform addresses that by building a centralized online storage-capacity database, standardizing allocation priority sequences, and pushing full-chain visual management of materiel flow. The personnel training and professional ethics standardization described alongside the technical infrastructure confirms that the CMC views human compliance with the new system — not just the system itself — as a binding constraint on whether unified warehousing actually functions in wartime.

New Pattern of Unified Management and Shared Use of Warehousing Resources Across the Entire Military Taking Shape at Accelerated Pace

PLA Daily report by Liu Wenjun and correspondent Sun Xingwei: Recently, this correspondent learned at a lecture session on professional ethics standards for personnel working in the materiel reserves sector, organized by the Logistical Support Department of the Central Military Commission, that in order to raise the contribution rate of warehousing resources to combat readiness, materiel reserve departments across the entire military have been innovating and exploring methods for the efficient utilization of warehousing resources, accelerating the advancement of integrated support for materiel storage and rotational supply, and implementing unified management and shared use of storage-capacity resources across units, specialties, and services and branches, so as to provide solid support for military training and combat preparation.

Materiel reserve departments at all levels across the entire military have upheld the combat effectiveness standard, addressing at the source such problems as impeded materiel rotation and the accumulation of aging materiel. They have precisely calculated demand gaps, improved materiel catalog standards, defined capability indicators, layout plans, and quality-control measures, and have conducted orderly trial operations of integrated storage-and-supply support and standardized supply, effectively breaking through support barriers, activating inventory resources, and accelerating the drive toward unified management and coordinated allocation of materiel.

Relevant departments have issued measures to strengthen the coordinated allocation and utilization of storage-capacity resources across the entire military, clarifying the coordinated allocation responsibilities of warehousing departments at all levels, establishing access and exit mechanisms for storage-capacity use, and tapping the potential of all types of military warehousing resources. By differentiating multiple professional types of warehouses, formulating statistical norms and standards for storage capacity, establishing an online storage-capacity resource database, standardizing allocation priority sequences, and refining processing procedures, they are driving the realization of full-chain visual management (全链路可视化管理) covering materiel intake, storage-capacity use, allocation and implementation, and the clearance of overstocked goods.

Warehousing departments across the entire military are making comprehensive use of big data, Internet-of-Things sensing, unmanned intelligent systems, and other means to advance the networking of warehousing operations, the labeling of cargo-position materiel, the scanning-code management of operations, and the digitization of inventory ledgers, driving the digital transformation of warehousing management and support, systematically enhancing the capability for rapid receipt and dispatch of materiel, and providing solid technical support for the unified management and shared use of warehousing resources.

Personnel are the key to translating the unified management and shared use of warehousing resources into concrete reality. At all levels, emphasis is placed on cultivating the capability of professional warehousing personnel, with tiered vocational training organized through relevant academies and institutions, job qualification certification and vocational skills assessment conducted, and integration into combat-realistic exercises and training made routine, in an effort to build a professional force that can be deployed in peacetime and can hold the line in wartime. The newly revised professional ethics standards for personnel working in the materiel reserves sector comprehensively regulate professional ethics standards and codes of conduct, establishing the fundamental guidelines and practical requirements for practitioners.

The unified management and shared use of warehousing resources has effectively contributed to improved response speeds for cross-service materiel requests and higher turnover rates for reserve materiel. According to a responsible official, they will establish and improve long-term mechanisms, incorporate the dissemination of professional ethics standards into daily and routine activities, and use the cultivation of strong qualities and the strengthening of force building to drive a leap in support effectiveness.
