Taipei, May 2 (CNA) The military will conduct five days of computer-assisted war games May 4-8, with the focus this year on emergency response, as part of the country’s annual Han Kuang exercises.

In a bid to test the military’s combat readiness in the face of a military threat from China, the drill will focus on swiftly preparing troops for battle and the mobilization of supplies and reservists.

The five-day drill is the first stage of the Han Kuang No. 31 exercises, which are designed to test the military’s combat capabilities after it completed late last year an initiative to streamline the military, said Maj. Gen. Zhong Shu-ming, director of the Defense Ministry’s Joint Operations Division.     [FULL  STORY]
