Taiwan's military on its feet: It's starting, it's going to be the biggest ever

The early stages of the annual Han Kuang exercises will focus on testing how Taiwan&#39;s military can decentralize command in the event of an attack that disrupts communications.Over the next 10 days, the exercises will be expanded to assess Taiwan&#39;s combat readiness against attempts to take over the island outright.&quot;We are learning from the situation in Ukraine in recent years and thinking realistically about what Taiwan might face in real combat,&quot; said a senior defense official, stressing the need to protect command and communication systems.&quot;Commanders need to think about the problems their troops might face and communicate them to their subordinates,&quot; the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation.Taiwan considers the cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns to be high-intensity &quot;gray zone&quot; operations that are likely to precede a wider Chinese attack.The annual Han Kuang drills this year will mobilize the largest number of reservists, about 22,000, and for the first time will include Lockheed Martin&#39;s new highly mobile artillery-missile systems, or HIMARS, with Taiwan&#39;s Sky Sword surface-to-air missiles.
