Green Berets Working with Taiwan’s Army Frogmen
United Daily News
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - I have met with individuals of the U.S. Army’s 1st Special Forces Group here in Taiwan, but I have no way of confirming if the story by United Daily News is accurate.
My access to Taiwan’s special operations bases was cut three years ago after 30 years of media visitations, most likely because of the presence of U.S. military personnel.
Besides the Green Berets, I have interacted with elements of the U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command (MARSOC/Raiders) and U.S. Navy SEAL Teams in Taiwan. So a robust U.S. effort to improve Taiwan’s special operations capabilities is underway.
