This article examines the spatial resettlement programs implemented for demobilized and retired servicemen following the relocation of the Nationalist Government to Taiwan. These programs emerged from distinctions between military and civilian statuses and were administered by different authorities, resulting in diverse resettlement strategies. First, the study traces the development of resettlement policies under the veterans’ assistance system after 1949, analyzing how institutional changes shaped the content and form of resettlement planning. Focusing on the early period after the establishment of the Veterans Affairs Council, it analyzes two major approaches: medical resettlement through veterans’ homes and employment resettlement through agricultural farms. Second, the article explores the resettlement arrangements applied to various groups of military personnel and civilians of differing status designations who did not accompany the Nationalist Government’s relocation to Taiwan. The study finds that, given the pronounced socio-cultural differences among these populations, resettlement policies were primarily organized around status-based distinctions and implemented through forms of collective resettlement. The selection of resettlement sites implicitly entailed processes of social segregation. In conclusion, the article argues that these collective resettlement programs—through their spatial positioning and distance-based considerations—functioned as disciplinary technologies that spatialized bodies, stabilized local social order, delineated population hierarchies, and enabled state management, surveillance, and social differentiation by placing individuals in specific, regulated locations.
