Summary:

"The US Army War College's 2024 Carlisle Conference on the People's Liberation Army was held on October 16 and 17 at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The conference featured keynote speakers from the US Department of Defense and the think-tank community, and panels focused on assessing the People's Republic of China's understanding of and capability to carry out a protracted war in the Indo-Pacific. The conference brought together over 100 participants from government, military, US Intelligence Community, academic, and think-tank organizations. The conference papers were authored by expert speakers and panelists and were designed to provide insight into key People's Republic of China and People's Liberation Army advances that could enable Chinese forces in a future protracted war against a US-led coalition. The papers were also crafted to enable in-depth seminar discussions following each panel, allowing the authors to garner feedback to improve their analyses. The conference volume is organized into four sections based on the conference panels: understanding the People's Republic of China's views on historical and modern protracted wars; assessing the People's Liberation Army's operational endurance in the land, maritime, and air domains; analyzing China and the People's Liberation Army's ability to command and control a protracted war; and determining how Russia and North Korea could support the People's Republic of China in a protracted war."-- Publisher description.
