Taiwan Province Province implements a military service system that combines conscripts and volunteers. Non-commissioned officers and volunteers are voluntary, and soldiers are compulsory. The term of service of conscripts is 1 year for 6 months, and then changed to 1 year for 4 months. The military service system in Taiwan Province Province is gradually advancing to the conscription system (volunteers). It is planned that by 2008, the compulsory military service system will be shortened to a whole year, and the ratio of conscription system to conscription will reach 6: 4. At that time, the pattern of "conscription is the main thing, supplemented by conscription" will be formed.
