Han Kuang Military Exercise: Ji Liancheng Emphasizes Horizontal Liaison and Military Support
The Han Kuang military exercise, running from the 10th to the 24th, involves the Central Joint Emergency Operations Center (CJEOC) and aims to integrate civil and military resources under the Executive Yuan's unified command. Four cities (New Taipei, Yilan, Kaohsiung, Pingtung) will also participate with their Local Joint Emergency Operations Centers (LJEOCs) to practice cross-county support. The exercise focuses on maintaining government functions, social stability, and military support during wartime, enhancing national resilience against complex risks.

The Han Kuang military exercise is scheduled to run from the 10th to the 24th. The Central Joint Emergency Operations Center (CJEOC) will fully cooperate with this exercise, and will be fully activated as needed based on the exercise situation, under the unified command of the Executive Yuan. The exercise is expected to last 6 days over 3 phases, focusing on civil-military integrated resource allocation and coordinated control, practicing three major topics: "preventive evacuation," "medical evacuation/expansion of medical area planning," and "joint transportation command and control." Premier Cho Jung-tai is also expected to participate.
In addition, New Taipei, Yilan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung will simultaneously establish their Local Joint Emergency Operations Centers (LJEOCs) to practice cross-county support, coordination, and cooperation.
Executive Yuan officials pointed out that a flexible response mechanism, meticulous organizational planning, and detailed comprehensive plans have been established to build a national overall response system. This aims to achieve three major functions: "maintaining continuous government operations," "maintaining social and livelihood functions," and "supporting military actions." This will be achieved through five main tasks: civil force training and application, inventory and transportation of important civilian supplies, operation and maintenance of energy and critical infrastructure, preparation of social welfare medical and shelter facilities, and cybersecurity for information, transportation, and financial networks, thereby strengthening the nation's ability to prevent and respond to complex risks.
Ji Liancheng stated in an interview that wargames are not live-fire exercises; the focus is on practicing how to maintain normal government operations during wartime. In addition to practicing civil-military coordination issues during wartime, it is also necessary to ensure that central and local county governments can maintain normal operations of relevant mechanisms and critical infrastructure when the nation faces major disasters, including the distribution of important supplies and stabilizing prices.
Furthermore, Ji Liancheng emphasized that in peacetime, the military usually assists in disaster relief, but in wartime, the situation might be reversed. During wartime, the enemy's first wave of attacks often targets military bases, as seen in the recent Middle East conflict where US military bases were primary targets. In such cases, local governments must assist the military. Therefore, the exercise must highlight how the triangular relationship between central, local, and military authorities can operate smoothly, and test whether the command mechanisms between the central government and county governments can be more resilient to avoid command disruptions.
This exercise will also practice response measures when government agencies and critical infrastructure are attacked by drones, missiles, aerial bombing, or suicide drones, including how to ensure safety and survival, and subsequent facility restoration and reconstruction, all through wargame simulations.
Ji Liancheng mentioned that in peacetime, drone enemy situations are usually announced by the Ministry of National Defense. However, during the exercise, which simulates a wartime state, central, local, and military authorities will share a common operational picture to grasp the enemy situation in the Taiwan Strait, and test unified actions among the three parties through this common picture.
