An unspecified number of reservists, who recently received draft orders, have been told to report for duty at the time and locations listed on their orders to take part in the Han Kuang No. 32 exercise, the ministry said.
From Monday to Friday, Taiwan’s military will conduct drills around the country designed to test its combat ability in scenarios simulating Chinese attacks to take over territory under the Republic of China’s control, according to the ministry.
This year’s Han Kuang drills will for the first time see the drafting of information technology specialists in the military reserves for exercises planned for possible cyber attacks, the ministry said. [FULL STORY]
