Taiwan<\/span><\/a> began a combat readiness exercise on Monday that aims to boost the military\u2019s ability to quickly move to a wartime footing, amid sustained pressure from the mainland.<\/div>\nThe Chinese mainland\u2019s increasingly frequent air and naval operations in the region have blurred the line between peacetime and wartime and mean that the Taiwanese military will have less time to respond to a crisis, according to officials.<\/p>\n
The Immediate Combat Readiness Exercise, which runs through Friday, was designed to familiarise troops with battlefield conditions and combat procedures, Taiwan\u2019s defence ministry said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The exercise would focus on the period immediately before a conflict begins, testing whether units could quickly prepare and deploy after receiving orders, defence officials said.<\/p>\n
Local television showed army, navy and air force units occupying tactical positions, protecting key infrastructure and testing command-and-control and logistical support systems.<\/p>\n
The ministry announced the exercise hours after reporting that the PLA had conducted its second \u201clong-range maritime training mission\u201d of the year on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
