Taiwan's defence ministry confirms in June 2026 that all education mobilisation call-ups are standardised at fourteen days, replacing the previous five-to-seven-day programme and removing the double-credit arrangement that had softened the fourteen-day format since it was piloted in 2022. The ministry reports a 93 per cent match rate for the policy of returning reservists to their original posts, allowing training in fixed groups, and states an intention to expand realistic training and to revise regulations covering female reservists. Reserve mobilisation is administered by the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency, formed on 1 January 2022 by merging the mobilisation office with the Armed Forces Reserve Command.
Why it mattersReserve reform is one of the most frequently cited measures of Taiwanese preparedness and one of the least often stated in figures. These two — the fourteen-day standard and the 93 per cent post-matching rate — are published, dated and falsifiable, which makes them usable where "reserve reform continues" is not. Vigil records the policy and the stated match rate. It publishes no assessment of reserve readiness, no strengths and no mobilisation timelines, and a training standard is an input rather than a demonstrated capability.
