This year's edition of the annual Han Kuang exercises focus on simulating the uncertainties of war and decentralized decision-making.
Taiwan's military on Monday launched the 2024 edition of its annual Han Kuang series of war games aimed at resisting an invasion from an increasingly aggressive China.This year's exercises have been updated to include what Taiwan's Defense Ministry has called 'unscripted' scenarios to better simulate wartime conditions, a change one defense analyst told Newsweek was adopted after the 'wake-up call' of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
In addition, an attack may come at night, requiring defending forces to maintain combat preparedness 24 hours per day.The latest Han Kuang drills have also been designed to assess how Taiwanese forces would handle a decentralized command structure in the event they are cut off from headquarters, as could happen should Chinese air strikes disable communications infrastructure before any invasion.
