在習近平於2015年11月24日下達「深化國防和軍隊改革」動員令後，共軍也次第針對聯合後勤保障體系與國防動員體系進行調整。其中，在聯合後勤保障體系方面，調整重點計有「優化領導指揮關係」、「優化保障力量」，和「融入聯合作戰指揮體制」。國防動員體系的調整重點則為省軍區轉隸軍委國防動員部，並成為國防動員最重要的執行機構。當共軍在2020年初奉命投入湖北各地的新冠肺炎防治後，馳援的共軍以聯勤保障體系與國防動員體系所屬單位為主，使這二體系獲得大規模實兵驗證的機會。例如共軍聯勤保障體系，就在「物資供應保障、衛勤保障、運輸投送保障」等方面，獲得不少實兵驗證的機會。至於國防動員體系則可觀察到：(1)「國防動員資訊數據化」實戰化運用；(2)對「輔助動員」模式進行驗證；(3)對「跨區機動」進行實兵演練；(4)對「專項動員」進行實兵演練；(5)動員「新質民兵」參加等情形。

After Xi Jinping issued a mobilization order to “deepen national defense and military reform” on November 24, 2015, the PLA began to adjust the joint logistics support system and national defense mobilization system. In the most recent rounds of military reforms, the joint logistics support branch underwent some major changes in “relations between commanding systems,” “support force capacity,” and “integration into the joint operations command mechanism.” The adjustment of the national defense mobilization system focuses on the transfer of the provincial military districts to the National Defense Mobilization Department of the central military commission, making national defense mobilization the main task of the provincial military districts system. It also helps the provincial military districts to become the most important executive agency for national defense mobilization. When the PLA was ordered to invest in the prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia across Hubei in early 2020,the troops at the time comprised of the main two systems from the joint logistics support and national defense mobilization, who were dispatched to Hubei Province where the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak was located. In the fight to prevent and control the pandemic, the PLA’s joint logistics support branch had the chance to prove itself in real-life situations, from providing support in the materials supply, in the medical service, as well as in the transportation and delivery aspect. From the support that the national defense mobilization branch provided in the fight against the pandemic, we can conclude the following observations: “national defense mobilization data” was practice to real-life situations, such as the following: “auxiliary mobilization” was tested; “trans-regional maneuvers” were launched with actual deployment of troops; “specific mobilization” was launched as part of the deployment; and “new types of militia” were mobilized for participation in the containment of the disease.
