2024-09-05

According to Taiwan wind media website reported on September 2, Taiwan's defense department claimed that the army volunteer recruitment rate of more than 100%, but in fact in recent years the number of volunteer officers and soldiers to “not fit to serve” as the reason, the number of applications for early discharge is much larger than the number of recruitment into the camp, resulting in the main war forces volunteer soldiers continue to decline.
The report quoted Taiwan's “Chinese Strategic Foresight Association” researcher Jie Zhong as pointing out that, according to the defense department's budget book, in 2025, only 160,749 volunteer officers and soldiers remain in the “budget posts”, more than in 2024. “Budget posts” 166,235 people, a drastic reduction of 5,486 people, the same as a year ‘evaporated’ off 11 joint military battalions. In particular, the reduction in posts, and to combat troops of the basic rank of non-commissioned officers, private and private, showing that in recent years, the Taiwanese army combat troops at the grass-roots level of rapid manpower loss, next year, instead of improving, but even more serious.
Jie Zhong also explained that the “budget posts” will reflect the defense department's estimate of the actual number of people for the year, but will be higher than the actual number.
Jie Zhong said that all of the “budgeted posts” to be reduced in 2025 would be for non-commissioned officers, privates, and first class soldiers who are the backbone of the grassroots forces. This seems to show that many skilled volunteer sergeants and soldiers in Taiwan would rather give up promotion and leave the army. ( News Agency)
