units, strengthen the position management for them to be assigned first to designated
combined and joint positions, and support the continuous improvement of the
servicemembers’ language skills by offering more opportunities such as short-term
overseas training, various training courses, and individual deployment.
In the case of acquisition experts, the MND intends to foster force experts
with expertise in all stages of the force work system of "proposing requirements-
acquisition-operation" by designating acquisition and force positions within the
MND, the JCS, the DAPA, and each service and by improving the job rotation.
First, the acquisition and force positions are designated regularly within the MND,
the JCS, the DAPA, and each service to enhance the military HR management
and maintain work connectivity within the positions. To supplement the DAPA
acquisition experts’ understanding of "proposing requirements" and "operation" and
the relative lack in experience in operating forces in field units, the job rotation was
further enhanced among the DAPA, the MND, the JCS, and each service, and the Chapter 5
maximum job rotation duration (5 years) is strictly managed so that force specialists
in each service can equally experience other project-related positions in the DAPA.
The MND plans to inspect the status of rotation of acquisition experts and force
specialists in each service to ensure that the above-mentioned improvements are
being implemented in a satisfactory manner.
