Features: World Military Almanac is a continuously compiled and published academic and reference toolbook with dense information, primarily documenting new situations and progress in military affairs of countries around the world within the year. Its task is to take Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory as guidance, adhere to basic principles, and face modernization, the world, and the future, systematically introducing the fundamental military situations and dynamics of countries around the world within the year with selection and focus. The primary target audience is military organs at all levels, military research units, academies, and troops, while also catering to a broad readership outside the military interested in military issues. This volume of the Almanac includes 9 sections: Key Military Events, Military Surveys of Countries, Military Theoretical Research, Military Technology, Military Construction, International Treaties, World Military Chronology, Special Features, and Color Photos. The time frame for the materials in this volume of the Almanac is generally from January to December 2005; a few extend to the first half of 2006; certain special topic materials and newly established categories (items, entries) include limited background information from before 2005 to provide readers with more systematic and comprehensive information.
