US Army Special Forces To Be Deployed on Taiwanese Island Six Miles From Mainland China

US Army Special Forces To Be Deployed on Taiwanese Island Six Miles From Mainland China

The United States has initiated a significant military collaboration with Taiwan, featuring the deployment of US Army Special Forces for ongoing training operations on the island.

Under the provisions of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), U.S. military advisors have started to take up permanent positions at the Taiwanese Army’s amphibious command centers in Kinmen and Penghu. Their mission involves regular training exercises alongside Taiwan’s elite forces.

A notable aspect of this cooperation has been the American Army Special Forces’ assistance in training their Taiwanese counterparts to use the Black Hornet Nano, a compact military unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This collaboration also extends to the creation of operational guidelines and training manuals. The Taiwanese Aviation and Special Forces Command has proposed acquiring this micro drone directly from the U.S. through military sales avenues.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They probably won't be able to defend themselves in case of a Chinese incursion, though.

USSF troops being deployed to Taiwan to do joint training exercises with the Thai government wasn't even new in the 1960's.

@rangerbrew

Nope. The would be outnumbered by at least 100 to 1,and their only option would be to deploy backpack  nukes,and then haul ass,and that is NOT going to  happen.
