Thus, the thesis, in the first place, analyses the research significance of Taiwan's military welfare system deeply and states the research situation and the research methodology and innovative points of the study. And then, based on the conception, development history and theoretical basis, Taiwan's military welfare system is sorted out as five parts: military social insurance, military retirement and compassionate, military preferential treatment and care service, military career planning and transfer, and veterans' welfare, which is reached through looking up, demonstrating and analyzing myriad materials and data of Taiwan's army. Next, the organization and implement of the system are explored in terms of the guiding thought, the administrative agency and the policy focus.
