(Central News Agency reporter Wen Gui-hsiang, Taipei, 18th) The Han Kuang 42 computer-simulated war games combined with the Central Joint Emergency Operation Center (CJEOC) drills were carried out from April 12 to 21. The National Security Council stated today that the drills focused on five main themes of civil-military integration, including evacuation and counter-enemy resource operations. This not only represents a major advancement in Taiwan's whole-of-society defense but also garnered high attention from international allies.
The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) stated on its Facebook page that AIT Director Raymond Greene and his team observed the first civil defense response drill of the Executive Yuan's "Central Joint Emergency Operation Center" on the 17th. The drill aimed to practice inter-ministerial coordination capabilities to strengthen Taiwan's emergency response strength and command system operations during crises, symbolizing an important step in Taiwan's efforts to promote whole-of-society resilience.
The Presidential Office's National Security Council issued a press release in the afternoon pointing out that this year's important national defense and whole-of-society defense resilience training, the "Han Kuang 42 Computer-Simulated War Games," combined with the "Executive Yuan Central Joint Emergency Operation Center" tabletop exercises, were jointly conducted from April 12 to 21.
The NSC said it invited the AIT team to the CJEOC drill site yesterday for observation, allowing them to understand Taiwan's whole-of-society defense resilience preparedness and the operation of cross-departmental coordination and response mechanisms on the ground.
The NSC stated that this drill focused on five main themes of civil-military integration: evacuation, medical evacuation and capacity expansion, joint transportation command, strategic communication, and counter-enemy resource operations. This exercise is not only a major advancement for Taiwan's whole-of-society defense but also received high attention from international allies.
The NSC explained that the US has long valued Taiwan's self-defense capabilities and strongly supports Taiwan's efforts to promote whole-of-society defense resilience, giving high recognition and support to the progress made in recent years.
The NSC pointed out that facing current regional situations and escalating security challenges, the US is pleased to see Taiwan continuously strengthen its self-defense capabilities and overall deterrent effectiveness through such exercises. In the future, Taiwan will continue to deepen its crisis response capabilities through exercises and international exchange and cooperation. (Editor: Lin Ke-lun, Wan Shu-chang) 1150418
