The General Office of the Central Military Commission is an administrative agency of the Central Military Commission at the theater deputy-grade, which assists the leaders with the day to day administrative operations of the CMC.

Peng Dehuai presided over the work of the CMC, and Huang Kecheng was selected as the Secretary-General.

In November 1965, in the run-in to the Cultural Revolution, Xiao Xiangrong, who had long served as the director of the CMC General Office, was criticized and dismissed for opposing "giving prominence to politics" (“突出政治” - Lin Biao's plan to focus military training on Mao Zedong thought).

After November 1969, all GO assets, as well as the Foreign Affairs Bureau, were transferred to the General Staff Administration Department.

After June 1983, it also served as the General Office of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China.
