9th Air Corps
The 9th Air Corps was activated in November 1964 in Wulumunqi. In the late 1960s, possibly, 1968 or 1969, the 9th Air Corps is thought to have deployed to Sinkiang to support ground-force units during the Cultural Revolution.
In November 1978, it became the Xinjiang MRAF Command Post, then changed its name to the Wulumuqi MRAF Command Post on 16 April 1979. When the Wulumuqi Military Region was abolished in August 1985, it became the Wulumuqi Command Post.
