Lai Joins Taiwan's Emergency Bunker Drill for First Time as President
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te traveled in an armored vehicle to an underground command center on Aug. 5, marking his first participation as president in a decades-old contingency exercise for protecting the nation's leadership during an attack.
Lai rode in a domestically produced Clouded Leopard armored vehicle to the Hengshan Command Center, a protected military complex in northern Taipei. Inside, he received a classified briefing and chaired a meeting with senior national security officials, according to the Presidential Office.
The exercise, known as Wan Jun, tested military command, coordination among government agencies, emergency response mechanisms, and the government’s ability to continue operating during a crisis.
賴清德以總統身分 首度參與臺灣緊急應變演習
臺灣總統賴清德於8月5日搭乘裝甲車,前往地下指揮中心,這是他自就任總統以來,首度參與這項已有數十年歷史、旨在保護國家領袖免受攻擊的應變演習。
據總統府表示,賴清德搭乘國產「雲豹」裝甲車前往位於臺北北部、受嚴密保護的軍事基地——衡山指揮所。他在那裡聽取機密簡報,主持國家安全高層官員的會議。
這項演習名為「萬鈞」,旨在測試軍事指揮體系、政府機關間的協調能力、緊急應變機制,以及政府在危機期間維持運作的能力。
