Taipei, April 18 (CNA) The computer simulation part of the "Han Kuang 21" military exercise began in various tactical command centers around the country Monday, a spokesman for the military said Monday.
The five-day computerized war simulations are aimed at honing various combat strategies and tactics, including anti-blockade strategies, airborne defense control, naval forces' air defense and maritime control tactics, as well as cyber-defense operations.
The simulated war games will be conducted at the combined services operation command center, the combined services training center and various tactical command centers simultaneously, and is being coordinated by a simulated Hengshan Strategic Command System, the spokesman said.
The simulated war games will be conducted eight hours a day during the five-day maneuvering period.
Live-fire drills -- another part of the "Han Kuang 21" annual series of drills devoted to testing the armed forces' combat prowess -- are scheduled for June through August to verify combat strategies and tactics hammered out during the computerized war games. These maneuvers will include strategies to cope with surprise attacks on a major local oil depot and undersea cables, according to the spokesman.
The live-fire exercises will also practice counter-strategies against warfare methods such as carpet bombing, infiltrations, abductions, hijackings, computer virus attacks and decapitation strikes, the spokesman said.
