Taiwan will conduct exercises to repel a possible invasion by China
From June 22 to 26, the Taiwanese Armed Forces will conduct large-scale combat readiness exercises, during which they will practice responses to a potential invasion by China.
Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense reported that the exercises will involve active-duty units and actual military equipment, and will simulate scenarios for a rapid transition from peacetime to wartime.
The main objectives of the exercises are to enhance the troops’ combat readiness, improve the management of joint operations, logistics support, and battlefield preparation.
