The Chengdu Military Region was one of seven military districts and is located in the southwest of the People's Republic of China, covering Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and the Xizang/Tibet Autonomous Region. It includes some of the area previously within the Kunming Military Region and has its headquarters in Chengdu. It was probably established in 1955.[citation needed]

The Tibet Military Region was reduced to the status of a district in 1971.[1]

The region was disbanded during the 2015 People's Republic of China military reform and become part of the Western Theater Command.[citation needed]
