The 4th session of the 2026 Urban Resilience (All-Out Defense Mobilization) Exercises was successfully conducted by the Chiayi County Government on May 27 and 28 (Wednesday and Thursday). County Magistrate Weng Chang-liang served as the exercise commander, and Political Deputy Minister Huang Chao-chin of the Ministry of Agriculture served as the Executive Yuan supervisor, leading representatives from various ministries to conduct the evaluation. In addition, Executive Yuan Minister without Portfolio Chi Lien-cheng attended to provide guidance, and five members of the Presidential Office’s Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee, including Mr. Huo Shou-yeh, attended to observe the comprehensive implementations, demonstrating the high level of importance both the central and local governments place on preparedness for whole-of-society defense resilience.
The first day of the Table Top Exercise was conducted using a "scenario-based, script-free" approach. By simulating various wartime conflict scenarios, the Exercise Control Group issued conditions supplemented by ad-hoc situations. This allowed participants to experience the harsh environment of wartime and verified the "decision-making" and "command and control" capabilities of the county leader and the Local Joint Emergency Operation Center (LJEOC).
The second day featured Comprehensive Implementations based on the conclusions of the first day's Table Top Exercise. Following the requirements to "act upon orders, start from scratch, and train continuously," the drill employed personnel and real materials on-site in small areas with realistic scenarios to increase exercise intensity. The exercise continued to expand public participation by incorporating civil defense groups, private organizations, alternative service personnel, Taiwan's Community Emergency Response Teams (T-CERT), and volunteer groups. The establishment of first aid stations, relief centers, and rationing stations were rigorously practiced to verify the effectiveness of medical care, personnel sheltering, and resource rationing. This ensures that all-out defense capabilities are rooted at the grassroots level, effectively integrating emergency response mechanisms to maintain societal and essential public services during wartime.
