空軍防空部指揮官劉孝堂中將月底屆齡退伍,他在軍職生涯中,很年輕就擔任負責首都及北部防空重任的空軍951旅上校旅長,當年951旅轄下的作戰部隊就有6個營,分別為天弓飛彈營、鷹式飛彈營、愛國者飛彈營、三五快砲營、四0高砲營與車載式天劍一型飛彈營,任務極為吃重。(資料照,記者劉信德攝)
〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕空軍系統將領出現連續四個月都有重要中將級將領的屆齡退伍的特殊情形,繼原任國防部總督察長盧建中中將已在上月底退伍後,本月底中將屆齡退伍的是守護領空「天網」的最高操盤手、空軍防空暨飛彈指揮部指揮官劉孝堂中將。由於防空部統領著全台灣愛國者、天弓飛彈以及負責源頭反制的雄昇飛彈系統,現役數量規模估計早就超過1000枚。隨著這位掌管全台頂級防空戰略武器的中將主官卸下軍裝,這席牽動台海安全、掌控千枚防空飛彈的要職將由誰來接掌,成為近期國軍將領大搬風中,最受軍界矚目的人事焦點。
談起劉孝堂,外界最深刻的印象,絕對是他那份從鬼門關前走一遭的驚人韌性。2020年1月2日,一場震驚全國的黑鷹直升機失事墜毀事故,奪走了包括參謀總長沈一鳴上將在內的8位軍職菁英。當時身受重傷、滿身是血的劉孝堂,憑藉著鋼鐵般的軍人意志,忍痛但沉著的與國防部連繫告知這項不幸的訊息。劫後餘生的他,面對漫長且痛苦的復健毫無怨言,一分一秒都想著重新返回部隊崗位。這種在逆境中絕不放棄的鐵漢性格,讓他隨後在2022年獲得層峰重用晉升中將,並正式扛下防空部的重責大任。

在劉孝堂任職的4年半裡,台灣防空戰力迎來了歷史性的轉變與考驗。愛國者飛彈在台服役邁入30週年,他不僅成功推動了愛二、愛三飛彈分批在台灣進行飛彈安全的重鑑測,更落實了防空飛彈從早期的「捍衛台北」轉型為「全台機動部署」。即便在2025年精準操演中曾發生愛二飛彈罕見的空中自爆意外,劉孝堂領導的防空部隊仍展現極高的戰術素養,在1分鐘內沉著補射、精準命中靶標,用實力證明了他所打造的防空網依然堅不可摧。

除了打擊與防衛能力的整建,劉孝堂更帶領部隊開創了台美協同與境外演訓的新里程碑。面對中科院天弓三型飛彈年產量翻倍至96枚的重大建軍期,他一邊穩定接裝國產新彈,一邊低調推動愛國者三型飛彈部隊遠赴第二島鏈的帛琉進行實彈鑑測,創下百分之百攔截的滿分傲人紀錄。
同僚眼中的劉孝堂是一位治軍嚴謹卻充滿溫度的長官,總是用行動走在最前線,把防空部隊從隱密的防空陣地,拉向國際與聯合作戰的舞台,深獲美方技術代表與基層官兵的敬重。
劉孝堂中將在黑鷹空難後浴火重生,用汗水與堅韌帶領防空部走過台海局勢最動盪的幾年,月底將功成身退,留下的是一個現役存量突破千枚、高度自動化且歷經實戰驗證的強大防空天網。這副沉重的擔子接下來該交給誰?是會由新一代中將梯隊的飛官接班,還是由防空體系出身的將領出線,國防部與國安層峰正進行最後的通盤考量,而這場天網掌門人的接班佈局,也將在本月底正式揭曉。
