Taiwan’s defense boost: US advisers stationed for training
U.S. military advisers have begun long-term stations in Kinmen and Penghu of Taiwan’s army amphibious camps, carrying out periodic training in the island’s special warfare camps, following the implementation of the U.S. "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023" (NDAA 2023). The Ministry of National Defense (MND) stated that the NDAA aims to assist Taiwan in developing comprehensive training and institutional abilities. Since 2023, U.S. military advisers have supported Taiwan’s special forces in learning how to use the "Black Hornet Nano" miniature drone and have provided assistance in writing guidelines and teaching materials. Taiwan’s Aviation and Special Forces Command has expressed plans to purchase these drones. The NDAA’s provisions concerning Taiwan primarily focus on information exchange and collaboration in military training for ground forces. However, there are currently no plans to station civilian officials in Taiwan.2024/02/05 10:46
