Not a complete rehash from my last post on Taiwan's tank issue from ref. dated
01 Dec. 2023.
The next dated from today informs us that plans for the trainers and
operational specials is likely to start in
Jan. 2024.
" This ambitious plan aims for these personnel to be
fully trained by the end of next year, marking a significant enhancement of Taiwan's defensive capabilities.

Also; "In
February 2024, 30 officers and personnel will also be sent to the United States for
HIMARS training, which is expected to be completed by
October 2024. Upon their return, these soldiers will be responsible for training and developing operational guidelines for these weapon systems."
It also tells us they will be deployed on the
western coast to protect that area from invasion and protect a handful of key cities (Named) and airfields.
So, my
initial thought based on what's posted above from the below ref. was to shift the
FOC (As late as Apr.-Jun 2025.) HOWEVER, the Taiwanese Army is well trained, disciplined but more importantly-
smart.
My thinking is now closer
Jan.-Mar. 2025.
In the end though I'm thinking to leave
UNIT 025 alone as I see no real problem with
Nov. 2024 until we know more.
I feel a
clearer picture will be seen in the
first three months of 2025.

HIMARS FOC will be reached by
Jan.-Mar. 2025.
