14-day New Training Program with 15,000 Reservists 14天新制教召將登場 1.5萬後備軍人參與

The Russia-Ukrain conflict serves as a reminder that a country must display its strength and self-reliance when facing enemies. That's why the Ministry of National Defense is dertermined to strengthen its combat capabilities by offering a new 14-day training program starting on March 5, with a total of 15,000 reservists participating. The trials will be conducted from 1st to 3rd quarters this year, with an end-of-term assessment in the 4th quarter.  

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has resulted in global outrage and realization that to deter enemies from starting a war, one must display one's strength and self-reliance. As such, the Ministry of National Defense intends to enhance the combat capabilities of the reserve force by implementing the new 14-day training program, in which a total of 15,000 reservists will participate. The trials will be conducted from 1st to 3rd quarter this year, with an end-of-term assessment in the 4th quarter. The first batch will begin on March 5 at the Shan Jiao Elementary school in Luzhu District, Taoyuan. Ukraine's mobilization timing, reserve force preparation, and combat mobilization play are valuable references for ROC national force.

Yu Wen-zheng, Dir., Mobilization and Mgmt. Dept., All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency: “This department will certainly study and take into consideration Ukraine's mobilization timing, their reserve force preparations, and training as well as overall combat mobilization play in planning our reserve mobilization in the future.”

To sustain routine training, the new 14-day training program will have no day-off at 10 hours per day including 2 hours of night training. Training lessons will be public, including five stages, starting with first day of strategic positioning, followed by strength review and detection, preparing arms for firing and combat-readiness training. However, the 65K2 rifles used by the reservists can hardly compare in performance to the T91 rifles used by active-duty troops, which may be of material combat capability concern.

Huang Hsin-jen, Director, Logistics Management Office, Ministry of National Defense: “62K2 rifles belong in the active-duty troop's equipment. Currently, there are still over160000 remaining, of which approximately 30000 will be used by the reservists. The rifles are archived in mobilization storage by bonding oil.”

The new training program is meant to re-familiarize the reservists with weapon operation, combining night training, outdoor camping, and other training programs. But, will the training intensity compare with active-duty troops? The Ministry of National Defense said daily marching exercise alone will exceed 10 kilometers or more.

Liu Shen-mou, Director, Office Military Training, Ministry of National Defense: “Combining outdoor camping, this constitutes a full cycle. Each training session cycle lasts 2-4 days and each strategic marching exercise will exceed 10 kilometers.”

During the new training program, mobile phone usage requirements are in line with active troops. Reservists may only use their mobile phones for two hours a day at a specified time and place in accordance with the listings.

 

烏俄衝突引起國際撻伐，也凸顯唯有自立自強，才能嚇阻敵人開啟戰端。對此，國防部提升後備戰力，改革後的14天新制教召，總計有1萬5千多名後備軍人參與，今年試行1到3季，第4季總檢討，首批5日就要正式上路，報到地點就在桃園蘆竹山腳國小。至於烏克蘭的動員時機、後備部隊編組、動員戰力發揮，值得國軍借鏡。

國防部全民防衛動員署動員管理處處長俞文鎮表示:「有關於烏克蘭的動員這個時機，跟他們這個後備部隊編組，以及訓練跟整體一個動員戰力的發揮，那我想本部會作為我們後續，後備動員的一個整體研析參考。」

為了訓練連貫性，新制教召不休假，14天練好練滿，每天訓練10小時，有2小時是夜間訓練，教召課程也公開，5大階段包括第1天結合戰術位置報到，接著進行專長複訓與鑑測，編制武器射擊、營戰備訓練等，不過，後備軍人使用65K2步槍跟現役部隊使用的T91步槍，有性能差距，形成戰力堪慮。

國防部後次室後勤管理處處長黃信仁指出:「65K2步槍屬於我們現役裝備，目前還有16萬餘支，那後備部隊使用3萬多支，目前都是以黃油封存在動員庫房裡面。」

新制教召主要讓後備軍人再次熟悉武器操作，結合夜教、野外宿營等多項目，但訓練強度能否比擬現役部隊？國防部表示，行軍課程至少10公里以上。

國防部訓次室軍事訓練處處長劉慎謀表示:「還有結合了野外宿營，這整個是一個循環，那每一個課程循環是2到4天，那每一次戰術行軍里程數至少在10公里以上。」

至於教召期間，手機使用規定比照常備部隊，會造冊列管，定點、定時開放，每天有2小時可使用。
