Green Berets Confirmed in Taiwan
Training, Not Observation
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - New evidence confirms that Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group (based in Okinawa) actively train Taiwanese special operation forces, far more than the simple observation and evaluation that many had speculated.
Social media posts further reveal that U.S. Special Forces actively train Taiwan’s Army Sniper Teams, National Police Agency Special Operations Group (NPA SOG), and Army Aviation and Special Forces Command (ASFC) in Close Quarters Battle (CQB).
Taiwan continues to use English on many of its military emblems, likely a lasting legacy of the U.S. military presence on the island from the late 1940s to 1979 through the U.S.-Taiwan Defense Command and other American airbases and naval facilities.
The U.S. military and the CIA actively used Taiwan as a base for both special operations and overt missions during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The CIA operated front airlines such as Civil Air Transport (CAT) and Air Asia, and it ran logistics support for its covert activities through a front company called Western Enterprises on the island.

The return of U.S. Special Forces to Taiwan was blocked for decades by the U.S. State Department’s One-China Policy.
I will not identify the source material of these images to protect his career, but they do appear genuine and are from the same source.
These events appear to have occurred in the 2023 timeframe (Year of the Rabbit).
