TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Army Command Headquarters (陸軍司令部) unveiled its 2025 image calendar on Tuesday (Dec. 16), infusing a symbolic message of vigilance against adversaries into October's imagery. The calendar, designed to project a clear defensive message, subtly incorporates the emblem of the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army (解放軍東部戰區), reflecting a commitment to national defense.
The October illustration captures the essence of the "Lu Sheng" (陸勝) exercise held in late October, highlighting the army's comprehensive protection and combat readiness. Through detailed metaphors, the imagery conveys a resolute defense strategy with the message "stop at the border, repel at the doorstep." The army aims to reassure the public of its unwavering dedication to safeguarding national security.
The Army Command Headquarters pledged to continue advancing realistic training and evolving combat strategies. They emphasize the belief in "unchanging guardianship" to protect Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and national security, allowing citizens to live with peace of mind and progress steadily.
The calendar aims to encapsulate the spirit of guardianship on each page, accompanying citizens throughout the new year. It conveys the message that "guardianship is never just a slogan, but the army's 365-day action." The calendar serves as a reminder of the army's daily commitment to national defense and its role in ensuring a secure future.
