7th Armed Police Mobile Division

The 3rd Army Division (Chinese: 陆军第3师)(2nd Formation) was created on May 1969 from Beijing and Shenyang Military Region and soon sent to Xinjiang under the direct control of Xinjiang Military Region. In December 1969 the division was renamed as 7th Army Division, while former 7th Army Division renamed as new 3rd Army Division. The re-formation and re-designation of several army divisions in Xinjiang showed apparent evidence that there might be plans to re-activate 2nd Army Corps and 3rd Army Corps, even 4th Army Corps of the PLA. For unknown reasons these corps were not formed at last.
