Chang Tai 19 exercise underway in Changhua
2024-10-29
This year’s Chang Tai 19 military exercise is underway in Changhua. The drills kicked off last week, with a focus on creating a realistic battle scenario. For the first time, reservists under the new 14-day training regimen have been included in the drills, to boost asymmetric warfare capabilities. The seven-day exercises are scheduled to end on Nov. 1, but could be called off early due to Typhoon Kong-rey.
An enemy attack is reported. Drones immediately rise to the sky to survey the situation. After the data is confirmed by higher-ups, a counterattack is launched.
M60A3 tanks proceed to the mission area. This is the Army’s Chang Tai 19 exercise, simulating an attack on Taiwan. In an effort to create a realistic battle scenario, tanks drove alongside private vehicles on rural roads, shocking many locals.

I live in Erlin. I departed at about 5 to come here. It is quite striking, seeing these armored vehicles operating with such ease on these small roads. It’s amazing.

6th Army Corps spokesperson
The focus of the exercise was on five key strategic operations, and testing full-load capabilities. The drill simulates real battlefield conditions in order to train our troops thoroughly and improve decision-making skills of commanders at the battalion level and below. It also trains for our staff officers’ operational capabilities.
The Chang Tai 19 is a major annual drill for Taiwan’s military, running 24-hours a day for a whole week. Reservists called back for training under the new 14-day regimen are also taking part for the first time.

Reservists undergoing the 14-day training regimen are also being included in the exercise. That’s an important way to integrate reserve and active duty systems, so as to better implement the military’s asymmetric warfare strategy. Since reservists have experience serving in the army, they can quickly make use of their previous training to adapt to the new context.
The Chang Tai 19 exercise is scheduled to end on Nov. 1, but with Tropical Storm Kong-rey approaching, troops may be called back before then to help in disaster prevention and response.

陸軍"長泰19操演"實戰化 M60A3戰車現蹤彰化鄉間小路
2024-10-29
陸軍長泰19操演，持續在彰化進行，清晨以敵軍來襲，遂行反擊任務為想定，指揮官統整無人機與相關偵蒐訊息，下達反擊任務，M60A3戰車機動往任務區前進，難得有坦克會在鄉間小路出現，有民眾一早就來拍照。今年操演除了7天6夜不間斷，14天新式教召人員也首次參與。
接獲敵軍進攻消息，無人機立刻升空偵蒐，指揮官確認敵情後，立刻做出回應。
一輛輛M60A3戰車依序往任務區前進，陸軍長泰19號操演，以陣地遭受攻擊作為想定，因為主打貼近實戰，出現坦克與民車一起開在鄉間小路的情景，民眾直呼震撼。

“因為我家住二林，五點多就從二林出發到這邊來，感覺滿震撼的，因為在這種鄉間小路，(裝甲車)還可以這麼靈活在那邊運行，覺得滿厲害的”

“本次操演的重點在於五鏈的戰術作為，及全裝載的驗證，模擬真實戰場的景況，磨練部隊戰術，及旅以下部隊指揮官決策，及所屬參謀作業的能力”
作為年度重大演訓，長泰19除了7天6夜24小時不間斷，14天新式教召人員，也首度加入長字輩操演。

“納入14天的教召弟兄加入演訓，是整個後備體系跟現役部隊體系，訓練結合的一個重要的方式，可以更有效的落實國軍的不對稱作戰，這些弟兄以往都有服役的經驗，所以在這種情況下，可以快速的跟以往的經驗銜接”
長泰19預計11月1號結束，但康芮颱風來襲，六軍團私下表示，必要時將下達終止命令，返回駐地進行災防整備。
