New details are out on the training program for one-year conscripts. This year, 9,127 conscripts will serve in 12 cohorts, the first of which will start on Jan. 25. Their basic training will last eight weeks and will be divided into four stages. Officials say the new regime will be more demanding than before.
Taiwan has extended conscription from four months to one year. The first cohort of conscripts starts Jan. 25. The defense ministry has released new details on their training.
This year, 9,127 conscripts will be called up in 12 cohorts. Among them, 7,514 will serve in the Army. The eight-week basic training is divided into four stages, starting with basic fitness training. The second stage includes rifle shooting, mechanical training on pistols and machine guns, and basic combat training. The third stage will focus on advanced rifle shooting skills, combined combat training, battlefield simulations, and nighttime shooting. The final stage features a final assessment of physical combat skills and marksmanship, along with a comprehensive three-day combat exercise.

After they complete the basic training, they are assigned to different units. When the conscripts are sent for training in these units, we take into account their skills and strengths. They will still have to undergo training at the stations and bases, and participate in a major year-end training course. They are assigned to different positions based on their fields of expertise outside the military, so they can contribute the things they have learned. That way, in the military, they will be part of a team that makes use of the relevant skills.
Each conscript will receive his own first aid kit and combat gear. Their training will be more demanding than before, the ministry says.

In the basic training assessment, we focus on core skills. If they fail combat training and weapons training, they have to stay behind for another week and sit the test again. If they fail again, they won’t be issued a certificate of completion at the end. During the retest week, their peers will have already moved on to different units. So after the individuals undergo the extra training and resit the exam, the relevant units will be notified to take them in.
One-year conscription has made its return. The government hopes it will strengthen Taiwan’s ability to respond to incidents in the Taiwan Strait.

1年制義務役男首波1/25入伍 國防部:已做好相關配套
2024-01-16
義務役役期由四個月調整為一年，今年預計徵集9127人，首批役男一月下旬入伍，新訓方面調整為八週，分為軍人核心價值、基礎訓練、進階組合訓練與期末鑑測四階段，完成新訓後役男就會領取戰鬥個裝下部隊，繼續專長訓練，軍方強調相關準備都已完成，同時對役男的要求會更為嚴格。
義務役役期由四個月改為一年，首批役男25號即將入伍，國防部也公布相關規劃。
人數方面今年預計分為12梯次，共徵集9127人，其中陸軍接訓7514人，新訓課程分為八週四個階段、分別是第一階段的基礎體能；第二段階的步槍射擊、手槍與機槍機械訓練與戰鬥教練基礎訓練；第三階段為步槍射擊進階訓練、戰鬥教練組合訓練，模擬戰場實景並強化夜間射擊能力；最後是期末鑑測，規劃體能戰技、步槍鑑定射擊，以及三天兩夜連續綜合戰鬥教練。

“入伍結訓之後下了部隊，我們也依據義務役他可以受訓的各個兵接訓部，我們也檢討了相關專長，他仍然要接軌到他分發部隊裡面的駐地訓練、基地訓練，還有年度的重大演訓。那我們會依據他的民間專長選填，來接軌他原本在社會所學，到了軍中我們有相關專長班隊”
軍方強調包括戰鬥個裝、單兵戰傷急救包，不過相較於四個月義務役，這回新訓會更嚴格要求。
[[訓次室軍事訓練處長 劉慎謨]]
“在期末鑑測我們針對核心訓項，他的戰鬥教練跟兵器教練不合格，他要留下來補訓跟補測一週，如果再不合格就不發予結訓證書，到時候因為同一時間同梯的役男，都已經下部隊了，留下來這週，補訓補測完之後，會通知單位把他給帶回”
義務役重新回到一年役期，盼強化國軍戰力，應對台海局勢變化。
