The OHS has revised the “Guidelines for Contingency Response Plans and Operations of Homeland Security” and the “Operation Directions on Homeland Security Contingency Notification” in order to enhance response capabilities. All relevant ministries and agencies are required to draft response plans, organize staff members, and assemble response teams; so that during normal times they can perform risk assessments, hold drills, and work closely with national security units. Different levels of response centers are established based on the severity of the occurring security incident. For a single terrorist attack, the appropriate ministry would establish a Level Two response center. If the incident is a dual or large-scale attack, the Executive Yuan would establish a Level One response center with the vice premier as its commander.
In accordance with the “Lian-an (Joint) Project Guidelines,” the OHS established resource-sharing and learning mechanisms while conducted joint drills and coordinated warfare training. The goals are to familiarize the units with command and management, as well as operating communications systems between all counter-terrorism special forces.
