The All-out Defense Mobilization and Disaster Prevention and Rescue (Min An No. 9) Exercise of Keelung City for 2023 was successfully completed on June 15 (Thursday)

The Min An No. 9 exercise staged for the ninth time this year was completed by the Keelung City Government on June 15 (Thursday) at the Keelung Naval Logistics Support Command, Keelung Municipal Jhong Shan Senior High School, and Keelung Port West Pier 17. The exercise was chaired by Mr. Fang Ding-an, Secretary General of the Keelung City Government, serving as the exercise commander, and Mr. Chen Tian-shou, Deputy Minister of Agriculture (Policy), the instruction officer of the Executive Yuan, who led representatives from various ministries to implement appraisal and assessment.

The exercise effectively got together subordinate bureaus, divisions, public and private enterprises and institutes, civil defense teams, soldiers of the reserve military service, non-profit making organizations, and rescue and volunteer groups, which adopted "disaster salvage and rescue in wartime situations" with actual troops, and on-the-spot and physical objects as its primary approach. The exercise also included "sabotage and damage of critical infrastructure" and others, which went ahead as planned. The drills were realistic and concise, effectively strengthening the civilian and material support of the county government for war disaster rescue and salvage operations, and enhancing the integration of central, county, and city government relief resources.
