To construct a powerful democratic society and ensure national security, the Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee was inaugurated on 19th June 2024 in the Presidential Office, aiming to put forward solutions from all aspects of society. To realize this purpose, the MND has drawn on the practices of the US and European democratic countries to construct an interagency civil-military integration and coordination mechanism to support HA/DR and military operations in which mobilization mechanisms and contingency response will be validated through realistic drills and exercises.

Refining Mobilization Mechanism and Civil Defense Capacities
As mandated by the All-out Defense Mobilization Readiness Act, the MND undertakes preparation tasks for each stage of mobilization. It consistently integrates all-out defense resources, conducts drills and exercises with governmental agencies and local governments, and promotes civil defense education and contingency training. These efforts ensure a rapid transition to combat ready status for all parties involved, thereby maximizing our all-out defense power.

Interagency Collaboration
Under the guidance of the “Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee” in the Office of the President and the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of National Defense acts as part of the staff operations. The All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency convenes interagency coordination meetings to assist various ministries in advancing action plans centered on five key pillars, aiming to enhance disaster response capabilities at both central and local government levels. Through urban resilience exercises (including all-out defense mobilization and air defense) and multi-level mobilization plans, effective resource allocation and strengthened response mechanisms are achieved, maximizing civil-military integration efficiency.

To prepare for hybrid disasters and major wartime destructions, the MND is working with governmental agencies and local governments to create an integrated civil military medical system and emergency reaction mechanisms in advance. This aims to preserve medical capacities and execute war disaster prevention and relief missions.
