Taiwan Military Conducts "Immediate Combat Readiness Drills" to Counter CCP's "Transition from Exercise to Combat"

Taiwan's Minister of National Defense, Wellington Koo, stated that due to the shortened warning time for a potential attack by China, the Taiwanese military began a 5-day "Immediate Combat Readiness Drill" on June 22 to test its ability to respond to war. The drills shift from routine training to actual attack scenarios, including combat patrols by armored vehicles and the protection of critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, which the Taiwanese military is closely monitoring.

Taiwan's Minister of National Defense, Wellington Koo, stated that because the warning time for a potential attack by China is becoming increasingly short, the Taiwanese military must test its ability to respond to war immediately. Starting Monday, June 22, the Taiwanese military has been conducting 5-day "Immediate Combat Readiness Drills," transforming China's routine exercises around Taiwan into actual attack scenarios.

As part of the drills, armored vehicles from the Taiwan Army's 269th Infantry Brigade conducted combat patrols along Highway 31 in northern Taoyuan on Monday morning, aiming to familiarize troops with tactical positions and operational routes that might be used in a military emergency. The Taiwanese military stated that the drills also include strengthening the protection of critical infrastructure and preventing enemy forces from seizing strategically significant locations.

While the drills were underway, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense announced that China's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday. This is the first time since April that a CCP aircraft carrier has carried out such a mission in these sensitive waters. The Ministry of National Defense stated that the Taiwanese military is using joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance methods to closely monitor the movements of the CCP aircraft carrier.
