Article 137 of the Constitution of the Republic of China stipulates that the objective of the national defense of the ROC is to safeguard national security and maintain world peace. Facing the rapid evolution and spread of military technologies and information networking, as well as the challenges to national defense arising from an increasingly volatile and complex security environment, the MND, upholding the President’s concept of the three legs of national security, proposes defense policy to lay out the objectives of national defense strategy and the concept of military strategy. Accordingly, the MND continues to carve out paths for the transformation of defense and future development of its operational capabilities so as to construct a Hard ROC defense force, and ensure national security.
