During a session of the Legislative Yuan on Monday (April 19), Minister of Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) announced that in response to increased military threats from the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the military is planning on creating a new "Defense Reserve Mobilization Agency" by next January. Chiu said that in addition to existing civil organizations and military reserve units, members of Buddhist and Taoist temples could be included in the force.
