The Forward Alliance (Chinese: 壯闊台灣) is a Taiwanese national security and civil defense think tank.
They are a national security think tank based in Taipei, Taiwan.[1]
According to The Guardian the Forward Alliance "advocates for greater awareness of defence issues and national security.”[2]
The Forward Alliance was founded by politician and former special forces soldier Enoch Wu.[3] Wu believes that “The best way to deter military conflict is to demonstrate a credible national will to resist, by combining military readiness with civil preparedness.”[4]
Following the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, public participation in training programs run by the Forward Alliance increased greatly.[5]
The group runs workshops to train civilians in disaster response and civil defense.[2]
