The headquarters of military area commands take charge of the protection of military installations within their respective jurisdictions.
In places where there are military installations, the military organs concerned and local people's governments at or above the county level shall establish a coordination mechanism for the protection of military sites and military installations to cooperate with each other in supervising and inspecting the protection of military installations."
III. A new article is added as Article 5 to read: "The State performs overall planning for economic development, social development and the protection of military installations, in order to promote the coordination between economic and social development and the protection of military installations."
