The All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency (Chinese: 國防部全民防衛動員署) is the reserve mobilization agency of Taiwan.
In May 2021 the Legislative Yuan passed legislation which authorized the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency.[1]
The agency was inaugurated on December 30 2021[2] with an official launch date of January 1, 2022.[3][4] It was created through the merger of the All-out Defense Mobilization Office and the Armed Forces Reserve Command.[5][6]
The Agency published an updated civil defense handbook in 2023.[7] On September 16, 2025, it also published In Case of Crisis: Taiwan’s National Public Safety Guide 2025, a new “Civilian Defense Handbook” providing Taiwan residents with information about what to do in the event of war, earthquakes, and other emergencies. As part of this effort, they also launched a new website - prepare.mnd.gov.tw - that offered additional information and both the Chinese language and English language versions of the handbook.
Purpose
The agency was established to enhance Taiwan's ability to deter a Chinese invasion through asymmetric means.[8]
