It is one of three districts (Tibet and Beijing being the other two) that are directly under the Central Military Commission and its Joint Army Staff rather than under their Theater Command^[1] (in this case, the Western Theater Command.)^[2]

The district includes all of Xinjiang, plus the Ngari district of Tibet.^[3] It has also direct military jurisdiction over the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC).
