2023 OUTLINE OF THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR

In order to assist draftees dealing with drug issues, every newly enlisted substitute services draft-
ee must take a urine test, and any draftee who has a positive test result is recorded and required to
receive a series of medical counselling. Moreover, draftees are expected to cultivate care for disad-
vantaged groups, to actively attend public welfare services, and to learn the spirit of serving others.

In 2022, a total of 105 organizations have participated in the execution of various public welfare
service plans. Among these plans, 10 of these programs were carried out with the help of 6,279 draft-
ees. In order to execute the policy of substitute services draftees performing public welfare services,
these inductees were selected for the “Ambassadors of Substitute Services Draftees for the Public

Welfare” team, and activities for public welfare were held. In 2022, our ambassadors carried out a
total of 18 performances at various government agencies, schools, and social welfare organizations,
with around 7,000 attendees.

In 2023, to make the draftees feel at ease during the substitute service, the MOI will continue to

improve the management of draftees and ultimately enhance the efficacy of the substitute service.

XIII. Substitute Services Reservists Management and Utilization

1. Substitute Services Reservists Management
Township/City/District offices carry out these functions under the guidance of special municipality/
county/city governments. The relevant materials are managed mainly through digital operations with sup-

plemental manual controls when necessary, and the number of substitute services draftees is reported to
the MOI before the fifth day of every month to maintain efficient managerial activities and records.

2. Rights and Responsibilities of Substitute Services Reservists Call-to-Service
and Utilization

In accordance with current laws and regulations, reservists in substitute services have the obliga-
tion to be of service for public service in drills, emergencies, or war, and their utilization is submitted
by the agency in need after obtaining the prior consent and authorization of the MOI.

In order to quickly call on reserve services both for extraordinary events or wartime male service, to

achieve regular training, and to effectively utilize the reserve military force, the MOI and municipality/
county/city governments jointly implement the administration of duties for reservist draftees, and have
set up the center for the administration of duties of substitute service reservist draftees.
