The ROC Armed Forces conducts highly realistic force-on-force exercises and joint training to ensure participating units acquire combat ready capabilities. In conjunction with conversion training for new equipment, the training subjects and intensity will be increased to enrich combat skills of troops at all levels and enhance their immediate combat-readiness capabilities. The reserve recall training programs are intensified based on mission types of reserve units and conducted at designated tactical locations for the assigned reservists to practice planned operations and acquire the ability to fight with regular forces. Furthermore, the ROC Armed Forces will improve civil-military integration and increase operational efficiency of pre-stocking, supply, and transportation to strengthen operational sustainability.
Conducting Realistic Training
- The ROC Armed Forces is following the concept of joint operations to conduct all realistic combat training in a “force-on-force, on-site, and real time” approach, including the development of realistic battlefields for joint training courses, force-on-force drills, and live fire shooting exercises.
- The main combat forces will progressively incorporate new weapons into training and evaluation based on their acquisition schedule. The ROC Armed Forces have established the UAV training center, and are currently enhancing training programs for conscripts to ensure their basic combat capabilities.
Enhancing Reserve Forces
- The recall training program of reserve force will be gradually intensified based on assigned missions and conduct exercises to enhance the coordinated combat capabilities with the regular forces. At the same time, the ROC Armed Forces continues improving civilian and military (civil-military) coordination and increasing operational efficiency of pre-stocking supplies, and transportation to strengthen operations sustainability.
- The ROC Armed Forces is gradually increasing the number of cadre at basic level in the reserve forces each year, and we also continue increasing quota and number of sessions for female volunteers participating in reservist training, establishing a talent database for mobilization, updating equipment and improving maintenance capacities of the reserve forces, combining civilian capacities for reservist training, so as to verify the all-out defense mobilization mechanisms.
