The special situation our nation faced with, Taiwan has relied on U.S.A.’s policy toward and on its arm supply; that keep the peace of Cross- Straits. However, the decision made by Taiwan DoD to purchase “three significant weapons” from U.S.A. has become a controversial issue these two years. This research was thus motivated to investigate the relationship between the situation of a country’s national defense and its national defense budget policy. In particular, the objective of this research is to explore the influence of situation type on budget policy. This research adopts action-research methodology. With 30 participants from different parties, including senators of national defense committee, scholars and experts with budgetary major, and DoD’s officers, the researcher analysis the data generated from the above-mentioned participants’ opinions and perspectives, and the secondary data from the corresponding documents concerning Taiwan, U.S.A., Japan, and Korea to propose budgetary policy action programs. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Different budget's policies were selected from different situations. 2. The types of strategic planning moderate the relationship between situation and budget’s policy adoption. 3. The decreasing ratios of military budget to total national budget year by year has made the military budget insufficient to the requirement of Taiwan’s strategic needs.
