The barracks is the Chinese infantry training structure during the War against the GLA.
Background
From the barracks all infantry were trained for battlefield command. The barracks also housed medical facilities where injured soldiers could return to be healed back to a battle-ready state. For the Chinese, the barracks was one of the few buildings that did not require a power plant of some kind to also be in the vicinity. China could train soldiers to capture buildings if the commander purchased the capture building upgrade at the barracks. The barracks was quite fragile however and can be easily destroyed by enemy units.
