The '''65th Group Army''' is one of three Group Armies subordinate to the [[Beijing Military Region]].
 
== History ==
 
The 65th Group Army traces its lineage to its original incarnation, the 5th Column of the North China Field Army established sometime around 1946. It was initially composed of three brigades, the 13th, 14th, and 15th. In 1949 the unit was reorganized and redesignated as the 65th Army under the command of Hsiao Ying-t'ang. In 1949 the 65th Army was composed of the [[193rd Division (People's Republic of China)|193rd]], [[194th Infantry Division (People's Republic of China)|194th]] and [[195th Infantry Division (People's Republic of China)|195th Division]]s.
 
The 65th Army was deployed to Korea in 1951. Following the [[Korean War]] the 65th Army was redeployed to [[Hebei]] in 1953.
 
In October 1960, the 195th Army Division, except its 575th Artillery Regiment, were transferred to the Engineer Troops and reorganized as 102nd Engineer District Command.
 
Formed in 1969, the [[195th Division (People's Republic of China)|195th Division]] (Second Formation) was disbanded in 1985.
 
In May 1989, the 65th Army’s 193rd and 194th Infantry Divisions along with the 3rd Reserved Division were deployed to [[Beijing]] to [[People's Liberation Army at Tiananmen Square protests of 1989|enforce martial law]] and suppress the [[Tiananmen Square protests of 1989]].<ref name="WRH PLA Units">Based on Wu Renhua's study.
