These are very pleasant graphs but how did they come up with single man served 12.7mm HMG, mortars and a weapons squad in platoons...
PLA TO&E is Indeed classified but company and platoon structures presented don't make any sense even for hypothetical world building.
The squad organization is close to observations from video clips tho.

Since the regular PLANMC marine brigades are already well documented, does anyone have any resources on the ORBAT of the PLANMC special operations brigades and aviation brigade? I’ve been trying to look for sources in English and Chinese but have only found incomplete scraps of information. In the DoD’s 2024 Annual Report on the PLA, it only mentions that marine SOF brigades consisted of at least three special operations battalions and one reconnaissance battalion. The same report also only mentions that the aviation brigade consisted of two utility/transport helicopter battalions, but apparently the PLANMC demonstration team at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow was from the air assault regiment (not a battalion or translation error?) of the aviation brigade. Any help would be appreciated.

What is known about the reserve artillery brigade in Shangrao (Jiangxi)? Is it known where it is located (coordinates), MUCD, vehicle number?
