10-day, longest ever Han Kuang live-fire exercises begin
10-day, longest ever Han Kuang live-fire exercises begin
2025-07-09
The annual live-fire Han Kuang exercises kicked off on Wednesday. Scheduled to last ten days, it’s the longest Han Kuang drills ever. On Day One, the exercises focused on responding to China’s grey-zone harassments. This year, 20,000 reservists are taking part, making for the largest number ever in a Han Kuang drill. In the coming days, anti-landing and joint response exercises will be carried out by all three branches of the military.
At daybreak on the 9th, a Ching Chiang-class patrol ship, the ROCS Jin Chiang returns to harbor after completing its mission.
Meanwhile, at Yilan’s Su’ao Harbor, a Chih Yang-class frigate, the ROCN Fen Yang has received an order and makes an emergency exit out of the port.
National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology’s Glorius Star test platform tows an unmanned surface vessel out of the port for testing. The first day of the 10-day Han Kuang exercises focuses on China’s attack via grey-zone tactics. The Army, Navy and Air Force are all responding to the mock emergency, via preservation of naval and air force combat power, emergency departure of warships, and the Penghu Navy and Air Force staying alert on the enemy’s movements on the outer islands. The Army’s 206th and 302nd Brigades conducted combat readiness training and specialty artillery drills, respectively.
Reservists are listening intently as an officer explains how to operate a squad automatic weapon and a platoon machine gun. This round of Han Kuang exercises are being held jointly with the 35th Tung Hsin exercises for 20,000 reservists, the largest number ever.

What makes this year’s Han Kuang exercises different from years past is that it simulates the transitional period between peace time and war time. From July 9 to July 11, we’re training for medium- to high-power grey-zone harassments. On July 12 we’ll proceed to the second item, which are the CCP’s confrontational drills, which may turn into joint live-fire drills from then to July 13. After July 13 and July 14, it’s anti-landing via sea and air, among others. National defense, civil defense and psychological defense can all be integrated.
Apart from drills on responding to grey-zone harassments, in-depth multi-layered defense and military-and-civil integration and coordination, the Ministry of National Defense also published an animation for the general public, so that people in the country are more aware of what goes on in the Han Kuang drills and be more supportive of the military.

史上最長! 漢光41號演習登場 軍艦出港.陸軍臨戰訓練
2025-07-09
為期10天9夜的漢光41號演習，週三揭開序幕，首日以應處中國灰色地帶襲擾為主，包括海空戰力保存、軍艦緊急出港，外島澎湖海空警戒敵情，後備召員也投入訓練，在206旅和302旅進行臨戰炫練與專長複訓，專家分析今年最大不同就是從灰色地帶襲擾開始，反登陸、聯合火力打擊等科目之後會陸續登場。
9號一早天剛亮，隸屬海軍131艦隊的錦江級巡邏艦"金江號"，完成任務後準備返港。
鏡頭轉到宜蘭蘇澳港，濟陽級巡防艦"汾陽號"，接獲指令後緊急出港。
中科院光榮之星海上測試載台，拖著快奇無人小艇出港測試。為期10天9夜的漢光41號首日，模擬中國遂行灰色地帶襲擾，陸海空三軍做緊急應處，包括海空戰力保存、軍艦緊急出港、外島澎湖海空軍警戒敵軍動態，陸軍206旅與302旅，分別進行臨戰訓練和專長複訓。
後備召員全神貫注，仔細聆聽教官教學班用和排用機槍使用，這回漢光結合同心35號演習，2萬名後備軍人投入史上最多。

“(漢光41)相對於以往的漢光系列有幾個不同，第一個是結合平戰轉換時期，(7/09-7/11)進行中高強度灰色地帶襲擾，7/12的時候就會進行第二個科目，也就是中共一些針對性的軍演，乃至於在7/13進行的聯合火力打擊，7/13到7/14之後就是進行反登陸、反機降等等部分，可以把國防還有民防以及心防結合起來。”
從灰色地帶襲擾、重層縱深防禦到軍民整合協調，國防部製作Q版動畫，盼讓國人更瞭解漢光41，支持國軍捍衛主權。
