Taiwan is responding to its military manpower challenges by enhancing the training of its reservists. This initiative includes a longer training period and the introduction of advanced weaponry.
The revamped program features a 14-day call-up for reservists, during which they will receive training on drones and US-made Himars rocket systems. This shift aims to better prepare the military amid a demographic decline affecting troop numbers.
As Taiwan seeks to bolster its defense capabilities, the focus on advanced technology in training may play a crucial role in addressing the ongoing shortages in military personnel.
