National Conscription

at Chengkung Mountain, Taichung, under the guidance of the NCA, MOI. The MOI conducts a fif-
teen-day basic course for substitute services draftees, including fundamental training, professional
courses, common education, adaptability training, emergency aid training, and others, to combine
“selection, training, and application.”

1. General Substitute Services Draftees

In 2022, general substitute services draftees were enlisted into camp in ten echelons, with 10,545
conscripts completing the fundamental training and corresponding service units receiving special-
ized training.

2. R&D Substitute Services Draftees
In 2022, the R&D substitute services draftees were enlisted into camp in eight echelons, with 2,806

conscripts completing the first stage fundamental training; subsequently, they were assigned to insti-
tutions to carry out scientific, or industrial research and development work.

XII. Service Management of Substitute Services Draftees

As the competent authority of substitute services, the MOI is in charge of enacting the regulations
on the management of substitute services and supervising the management of substitute services
draftees of individual requisition agencies and service units.

In order to understand the living and service conditions of substitute services draftees, to urge

them to dutifully obey the rules, discover whatever problems might exist, and overcome shortcom-
ings, the MOI carries out evaluations in cooperation with service units and user organizations. In
2022, the MOI made 344 regular and irregular supervisory visits. Furthermore, in order to enhance
the morale of substitute services draftees, strengthen their discipline, and increase service efficiency,

the MOI carries out legal education activities for substitute services draftees. In 2022, 61 lectures on
legal education were held for substitute services draftees. The MOI re-educates substitute services
draftees who violate rules or repeatedly neglect their duties and refuse to make improvements. In
2022, 9 draftees were sent to the Chengkung Mountain Counseling Education Camp for counseling

education. In addition, 12 mental health courses were held for over 565 substitute services draftees
to promote their psychological development and to help them adjust to service circumstances.
