Ministry of National Defense-Military Mobilization
The Readiness Program for Military Mobilization is overseen by the Ministry of National Defense, with a focus on aligning with the goals of the reserve force mobilization system reform. It aims to integrate human and material resources, improve the organization and combat training of military reserve forces, and prepare equipment and material resources required at war for regular and reserve forces.
There are 7 classifications, which are summarized as follows:
Military Force Mobilization:
- Supervisory Agency: Ministry of National Defense.
- Key Points: Based on military operation requirements, reorganize reserve force structures and missions. Plan various types of reserve forces to support defensive operations. Increase education recall training hours, intensify training to achieve the combat-oriented goal of "mobilize, train and prepare for combat on site" for reserve forces. Coordinate with military exercises to enable regular forces to fully unleash combat power.
Auxiliary Military Service Human Resources Mobilization:
- Supervisory Agency: Ministry of National Defense.
- Key Points: Support military service tasks based on needs of military units. Without impacting military missions, cooperate with administrative agencies' applications to maintain local security, civil air defense, and assist in protecting critical national infrastructure, and other services.

Military-Civilian Dual-Use Supplies Standardization Mobilization:
- Supervisory Agency: Ministry of National Defense .
