22nd Division (People's Republic of China)

The 22nd Division was a military formation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of the People's Republic of China. It was part of the 8th Army, 27th Army Corps.

Formed in February 1949, it was initially composed of the 64th, 65th, and 66th Regiments. The division participated in the Chinese Civil War, and later, during the Korean War, fought as part of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (CPV).

Following the Korean War, the 22nd Division returned to China and was stationed in Fujian Province. Its main tasks included coastal defense and potential operations against Taiwan.

Over the years, the division underwent various reorganizations and modernizations, reflecting the PLA's overall reforms. Details of its specific deployments and later history, including potential disbandment or restructuring, may vary depending on the timeframe and source. Further research into PLA organizational changes is required for a comprehensive understanding of the division's status in recent years.
