Washington. These days, American Navy Seal Commandos are getting training to protect Taiwan from China. America fears that the Chinese army can attack Taiwan anytime to capture it. In such a situation, America does not want to take any chance that may endanger the security of Taiwan. American Navy Seals killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2011. China alleges that many instructors of American Special Forces are already training the Taiwanese army in close combat and urban warfare, although America has not commented on these allegations.
A Financial Times report quoted people familiar with the developments as saying that Seal Team 6 is training for a mission to support Taiwan if China tries to invade it. China has claimed Taiwan as its territory since independence and threatens to occupy it by use of military force. Seal Team 6 is a tier one force and the second elite force in the US military after Delta Force.
According to the report, SEAL Team 6 has been planning and training for a Taiwan conflict for more than a year at its headquarters in Dam Neck, Virginia Beach. SEAL Team 6’s preparations have intensified significantly since 2021, when the US Indo-Pacific commander warned that China could attack Taiwan anytime in the next six years.
