The United States has significantly expanded its military collaboration with Taiwan, marking a historic shift in defense posture. Under the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), U.S. Army Special Forces—specifically Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group, 2nd Battalion, Alpha Company—have been stationed at Taiwanese Army amphibious command centers in Kinmen and Penghu.
