TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) revealed on Tuesday (Oct. 31) that it plans to conscript approximately 9,100 men for one-year compulsory military service in 2024.

Tung Shao-ming, director of Human Resources Management in the MND's Department of Resources, said the MND and the Ministry of Interior have completed preliminary plans for monthly conscription.

 

In 2024, Tung pointed out, enlisted men will be allocated across the island, including eastern defense units, rescue teams, and other guard units.

Tung added that the conscripts could also opt to serve in offshore islands or scheduled military units based on their special civilian skills and stressed their service is crucial for the protection of the nation and the security of every household.

He highlighted the importance of the one-year term, pointing out it allows conscripts to receive comprehensive, systematic training to safeguard their homeland.
