Warpower: Taiwan



The WARPOWER series of sites take a unique, 'by-the-numbers', quick-reference approach to the current (2024) military capabilities of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Taiwan sits in the shadow of its neighbor, China, and stands as its direct democratic counterpart. Limited by its overseer, the island nation looks to a growing indigenous industrial base as well as low-profile dealings with a dwindling collection of global supporters. It greatest supporter, however, remains the United States, a powerful regional ally and invasion deterrence.

Service Branches


The fighting forces of Taiwan are collectively managed under the Republic of China Armed Forces banner and encompasses five major branches of service: the Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF), the Republic of China Army (RoCA), the Republic of China Navy (RoCN) the Republic of China Military Police (RoCMP) and the Republic of China Armed Forces Reserve (RoCAFR). The Navy service also supports the Republic of China Marine Corps (RoCMC). The defense force was founded on June 16th, 1924.
