The PLAA’s mechanized company supports a variety of units, especially armor. It has 14 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, led by a captain with a deputy, political officer, and company NCO.
Each platoon has four Infantry Fighting Vehicles with infantry squads.
PLAA mechanized infantry company movements and formations are not significantly unique from other countries’. Fighting vehicles leverage their mobility, dismounting troops when needing to mass all fire capabilities.
Mechanized companies provide high mobility, flexibility, and massive firepower, capitalizing on well-rehearsed battle drills.
In the offense, mechanized companies achieve early objectives and breach defensive lines in the Advance or Frontline Attack Groups
In the defense, they may prevent penetration in the Frontline Defense or Depth Defense Groups.
