| dc.description.abstract | The KMT-CPC conflict arose immediately after the Unconditional Surrender of Japan in 1945. Though under multiple negotiations, no consensus was reached. Eventually, KMT retreated to Taiwan in 1949 because of continuous losses. In the early stage of domination in Taiwan, the U.S. regarded Taiwan as insignificant to its homeland security, therefore refused to provide aid. It was not until the outbreak of Korean War, June 1950, did the U.S. adapted to the situation and decided to provide military aid to Taiwan. Hence, Taiwan regained its strategic significance in the National Defense Strategy. Among the countless accomplishments from the United States military aid, non-commissioned officer (NCO) academy was one of them. At the beginning of its establishment, on which plentiful consultations had been held with the Military Assistance Advisory Group, members from U.S. military aid were applied to form cadres of NCO academy.
Research on army NCOES, from post-war to founding of NCO academy in 1957, can hardly be found. On the other hand, with the lack of standing NCO forces, NCO academy founded standing NCO classes in 1965 to raise its portion. Education system of standing NCO classes, 69 batches in total as of 2008, has evolved. However, no research has stated evolutions of the education system on every batch of standing NCO classes.
In the dissertation, related historical materials and interview minutes were used in an attempt to construct and clarify the evolution of NCOES in Taiwan. First, a brief introduction is provided, starting from post-war NCOES to founding of NCO academy and its early stage. Then, the evolution of the education system on standing NCO classes is organized. Finally, interview minutes of standing NCO class graduates are gathered to sum up and evaluate the actual effect of the education. | en_US |
