Taiwan outsources military academy security to private contractors

Taiwan is implementing a new plan to outsource routine security duties at nine military academy sites to private contractors. This initiative aims to alleviate the manpower burden on military personnel, allowing them to concentrate on combat training and core missions. The program will be rolled out in two phases, starting with five sites in September and four more in January, but has raised concerns among critics regarding potential security risks and infiltration.
