The 119th Division was a military formation of the People's Volunteer Army (Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) or Chinese Communist Forces (CCF)) during the Korean War with a standard strength of approximately 10,000 men. It was a component of the 40th Army, consisting of the 355th, 356th, and 357th Regiments.[1]
Current[edit | edit source]
The unit may now be still part of the 40th Group Army in the Shenyang Military Region, as the 119th Mechanised Infantry Brigade.[2]
