Apple Daily: Preparing for a third-wave war
2010/07/03 13:47:17 |
In a joint graduation ceremony for military academies held Thursday, President Ma Ying-jeou encouraged the graduates to have a sense of mission, sense of responsibility and sense of honor.
Ma's speech was similar to those given by the late Presidents Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo. But what are the different requirements that today's military officers need to meet?
They need to prepare for a "third-wave war, " which focuses on the use of knowledge and sophisticated technologies, such as computers.
Taiwan's military has been working to train a third-wave force, but this is a very difficult task in light of Taiwan's status of political isolation, the lack of technological knowledge among military personnel, and difficulties in acquiring precise weapons.
In the face of China's military modernization, Taiwan's military must step up its innovation and training. (Editorial abstract -- July 3, 2010) (By Y.F. Low) ENDITEM/cs
