On June 26, 2024, Minister of National Defense Gu Li-xiong and Chief of Staff Mei Jiashu went to the Legislative Yuan to report on the planning of the 'Han Guang Exercise No. 40' and prepare for questioning by lawmakers. When asked why this year's exercise on the main island did not involve live ammunition for real troops, had live ammunition for troops on outlying islands, canceled simulated enemies, and decentralized command and control, Chief of Staff Mei Jiashu responded that the focus was on allowing units to become familiar with the operational environment and joint operational plans, adjusting training goals to ensure each unit was familiar with its own operational plans, and emphasizing the importance of decentralized command and control to achieve training objectives.
