The Standby Arrangement System is based upon commitments by UN members states to contribute specified resources within agreed response time for United Nations peacekeeping operations.

To ensure that forces be expeditiously organized and rapidly deployed, the preferred response times given as guidelines to contributing member states are as follows:Grade 1: 90 days, Grade 2: 60 days, and Grade 3: 30 days

The People's Republic of China decided to assign non-battle troops to take part in the Grade 1 Standby Arrangement System in January 2002.
