Missile Battery Commander Launches Missiles Independently, Retired General Zhang Yanting: Likely to Hit Friendly Forces

Reported about 1 year ago

The live-fire drill of the ROC military's Han Guang Exercise 40 is set to begin in late July with a focus on decentralized control. Retired Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Yanting raised concerns that missile battery commanders, with limited information and intelligence sources, might make errors in decision-making and accidentally fire at friendly forces. The exercise aims to test the new rules of engagement, emphasizing decentralized command and control. Each level of command in the military has different rules of engagement tailored to specific threats, potentially preventing friendly fire incidents.
