The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan will review the 11 "Draft Amendment to Article 39 of the Service Regulations for Army, Navy, and Air Force Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers" proposed by KMT legislators and others tomorrow (11th). It plans to amend the retirement salary adjustment standards, frequency and indicators, including adjusting when the cumulative CPI growth rate reaches ±2%, ±3% or ±5%, or reviewing it at least every 2 to 4 years. Another proposal advocates simultaneous review with active-duty personnel salary increases. The Ministry of National Defense objected in a written report, believing that the current mechanism is sufficient. If it is adjusted simultaneously with active-duty salaries, it may reduce the willingness of officers and soldiers to serve long-term, affecting the stability of the force's manpower and the sustainability of retirement funds.
