By Jonathan Chin / Staff writer, with CNA

This month’s annual Han Kuang military exercises are to concentrate on continuity of action, night combat and joint operational capabilities and there would not be any demonstrations for the media, Chief of the General Staff Admiral Mei Chia-shu （梅家樹） said yesterday.

The nation’s top military commander made the comments while visiting the navy’s guided-missile destroyer the ROCS Su Ao （蘇澳）, the Military News Agency reported.

Instead of having distinct phases, this year’s exercises would use continuous and interconnected scenarios to prevent them from turning into a formulaic performance, he said.

The simulated engagements would be longer, and some would be continued into the night to ensure adequate training for operations at night, Mei said.

The war games would also help the military test its joint operational warfare, with special attention to coordination, command, control and support, he said.

The military reminded its commanders to maximize participation and train their units to fight in all the potential conflict areas anytime, he said.

Combat units are to carry out maneuvers in their area of responsibility to ensure they can exploit the defensive advantages of being in position first and knowing the terrain, he said.

Commanders should strive to test their troops rigorously to know their capabilities and detect flaws in defense plans, Mei added.

Every improvement achieved in the exercises increases the military’s capability and will to fight, he said.
