近年因工商業發達,社會結構改變,人口面臨少子化之衝擊,以及兵役結構改變等政策影響,對於國軍兵源獲得方面造成困擾。然而,近世紀因人類的貪婪及對大自然環境保護的觀念淡薄,導致地球受溫室效應、暖化及聖嬰現象,造成天氣異常,風(水)災及地震等災害層出不窮,尤以九二一大地震及莫拉克風災等災情,在短時間內侵襲整個臺灣,導致人民生命、財產重創,在加上政府運作機制不良及國軍沒有在第一時間投入支援搶救,亦造成災害加重。 現階段國家安全政策以「預防戰爭、國土防衛、災害防制」為基本目標,但國軍在不影響國軍戰備、不破壞國軍指揮體制、不超過國軍支援能量範圍之原則下,國軍可不待命令在第一時間投入人力與資源,依法提供國家社會及人民必要的災難協助。惟目前正面臨國軍兵役結構改變推動全募兵制,勢必造成組織(人員)精減,結合國軍現行之救災機制探究國軍救災應變制變能力,以符合國防政策及強化國軍執行災害防救之目標,以確保國家安全。
In recent years, due to industrial and commercial development, changes in the social structure, population facing the impact of the declining birth rate, as well as structural changes, such as the policy implications of military service, army sources for the country causing distress to get respect. However, in recent centuries because of human greed and weak environmental protection concept of nature, leading to the Earth by the greenhouse effect, global warming and El Nino, causing abnormal weather, wind (water) disaster and earthquake or other disaster after another, especially in the 921 Earthquake and typhoon Morakot disaster, etc., in a short time the entire invasion of Taiwan, resulting in people's lives and property, hit, plus the poor operation of the government and the military did not put mechanisms to support the rescue for the first time, also caused the disaster worse. National security policy at the present stage of "preventive war, homeland defense, disaster prevention" as the basic goal, but the military does not affect military readiness, the military command structure without destroying the principle of the energy range of support does not exceed the national army, national can not wait for the command to put the military manpower and resources for the first time, the national law society and the people providing the necessary disaster assistance. But the military is currently facing structural changes to promote the whole mercenary military service, will inevitably result in the organization (personnel) streamlined, combined with the military's existing military disaster relief mechanism to explore the ability of the strain the system changed to conform to strengthen national defense policy and military disaster prevention and response execution the goal, in order to ensure national security.
