Another major change for the drills is the new focus on decentralising the command structure, which the defence ministry said would familiarise troops with"the increasing complexity and uncertainty of the battlefield".
Koo, wearing military fatigues, oversaw a drill registering reservists for emergency mobilisation in northern Taoyuan.
