Taiwanese were relegated to non-combatant civilian work as manual labourers, porters and Chinese language interpreters.

Japan only conscripted ethnic Taiwanese in 1945 in a last ditch attempt for manpower.

The Japanese government established the Governor-General of Taiwan based in Taihoku.

Troops from this army were also involved in the Nanjing Massacre in December 1937.
