DEFENSE
The Army Artillery Training Command inaugurated the Tangshan Base in Guanmiao, Tainan. President Lai Ching-te inspected the facilities, highlighting improvements that address training needs and enhance military capabilities.
Newly procured weapons will bolster defense. The base's completion is expected to attract further public construction projects, supporting local development. The command was previously located in Yongkang, Tainan, since 1952, until relocation was completed in December 2022 due to urbanization. Vice Defense Minister Admiral Chung Shu-ming emphasized the need for long-term planning in modern warfare.
