The computerized war games of this year’s Han Kuang military exercises began yesterday and are to include lessons learned from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Ministry of National Defense said.
Special emphasis would also be given to scenarios such as “gray zone” activities and a surprise attack on Taiwan by Chinese forces operating under the false pretense of a drill, the ministry said.
The around-the-clock tabletop exercises span eight days and seven nights, concluding on Friday next week, the ministry said.
Live-fire Han Kuang drills are to be held from July 22 to 26 and would also incorporate lessons learned from the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, it said.
Overall, the 40th edition of the Han Kuang military exercises is focused on countering cognitive warfare and mobilizing reserve forces to conduct asymmetrical warfare against the enemy, it said.
Other key priorities are to test the military’s ability to transition between peacetime and war; joint interdiction operations and anti-blockade capabilities; overall air defense capabilities; and operations under a decentralized command structure, the ministry said.
The drills would test the military’s ability to act in compliance with the rules of engagement and international law, it added.
