       For several dozens years, the Taiwan army situation has had the very big change. Its total military strength, the 20th century 50's is 660,000 people, to the beginning of the 90's are about 500,000 people, in 2006 is 385,000 people. Starts from 2004 fine to implement the military strength to reduce, estimated every year reduces 15,000 people, completes to 2008, the total military strength approximately reaches 300,000 people, army approximately 200,000 people, the navy and the air force each are 50,000 people, other armies including Military Police Corps, 3~4 ten thousand people and so on rear service support troops. And later also will continue in 2006 to simplify. At the same time, army's grouping, weaponry and so on, also all rested on the new demand to have the very big change. Military expenses 
      expenditure Army: 
       Taiwan's general headquarters are 
      located in Longtan, existing military strength 200,000 people. Next 
      supposes three regimental headquarterses, namely land army sixth, eighth, 
      tenth regimental headquarters and Jinmen, Mazu, Penghu, Huadong three 
      defense headquarterses, rear service headquarters, antiaircraft missile 
      headquarters and so on. Moreover, the army airborne special operations 
      forces headquarters reorganize for the aviation special operations forces 
      headquarters, the army combat development committee reorganize for 
      supervise the long room and the army education and training and the 
      criterion development committee. On June 30, 1998, after the Taiwan armed 
      forces implemented "the fine solid document", Shi the Ji gradually 
      reorganization was "the armored infantry travel", "the airborne cavalry 
      brigade", "touches a step of travel", "the armored brigade" and "the 
      special operation brigade" and so on 5 kinds "the union branch of the 
      services travel", altogether some 39 "combined brigade". In order to meet 
      the modern warfare need, but also has set up the electronic warfare 
      camp. After the Taiwan armed forces carry out "the fine solid document", an 
      army and the military strength establishment has carried on the adjustment 
      to "the defense strategy", after specially Chen Shuibian proposed "beyond 
      the border decisive battle" the conception, the Taiwan armed forces have 
      established "take the spatial naval battle strength as the first combined 
      operations" the military strategy, "the leading role" the adjustment for 
      assisted the army from the past main action branch of armed services to 
      battle the branch of armed services "the support role", its concrete duty 
      also transformation was: "Profound operational, maintenance base security, 
      responsible ground air defense, in the responsible island pacify the 
      combat" and so on. The army present stage founds an armed force the goal is: Battles 
      three-dimensionally, the equipment mechanization, the direction 
      automation. So-called "three-dimensional" is: In order to adapt the future 
      combat condition, the reorganization land, the navigation army, enable it 
      to have the attack, the war searches for, the surprise attack, the 
      transport capacity, and gradually will purchase the new helicopter, will 
      strengthen instead lands, the anti-airborne defense, the anti-armor and 
      the airborne capacity for mobile combat, will achieve "an open area body" 
      three-dimensional operations requirements. In addition, for guarantees the 
      base air defense security and the army war strength integrity, completes 
      the army existing various types missile to deploy and the performance 
      promotes and establishes the low altitude field air defense system, by the 
      effective maintenance air zone security, achieves "by the place air 
      supremacy" the highest request. So-called "the mechanization" is: Completes the army M48-H brave tiger 
      main battle tank and the M60-A3 main battle tank year by year "the 
      replacement arranges the reality" and various types armored vehicle 
      performance whole improvement, and unifies the Island of Taiwan "the 
      defense" the operational characteristic, the research and development 
      light tank, increases 机动?the strength, the enhancement shoots controls 
      the ability, sharpens the anti-armor operational capacity, strengthens 
      mobile hits the impact, the adaptation maneuver combat request. So-called "the automation" is: The positive conformity information 
      management, refers to the tube to understand matters, the computer 兵棋 
      system, achieved usually strives the work management, the policy-making 
      support, the wartime strengthening direction control, grasps the 
      battlefield function, from the promoted information management system 
      management system, strives refers to the tube to understand matters the 
      system, as well as near differentiates, center, the long-distance research 
      and development computer 兵棋 system and so on three big goals wholes plan, 
      establishes the series which even, a wartime body policy-making management 
      and the direction resorts to arms to gather the war strength. At present, the military strength 80% deployment in the Island of 
      Taiwan, sixth regiment deployed north Taiwan the area, the tenth regiment 
      deployed in Taiwan the middle area, the eighth regiment deploys south 
      Taiwan the area. Jinmen, Mazu, Penghu deployment military strength 
      approximately 50,000 people. The Taiwan armed forces believed that, the 
      penghu islands will be the People's Liberation Army military force attack 
      Taiwan most to have the strategic point which the possibility first lands 
      wins, therefore, Penghu's strategic status promotion will defend in the 
      combat for Peng the most advanced post. In order to strengthen the Penghu 
      area the protection capability, had deployed in Penghu the armored 
      infantry travel and the artillery travel, and the Penghu army armored 
      brigade will reorganize for the armor 503rd brigade and defends the 168th 
      brigade. Tank:   M-60A3, 
      M-49H "the brave tiger" and so on battle tank 1,953, M-60A3 460, M-48H 
      450, the CM-12 main battle tank 100, the M48A5 tank 209, M24 "the rosy 
      cloud flies" the light tank 325, M41 light tank 50; Navy:
