"Before US forces arrive, we will have completed all our combat tasks," he said, noting forces would reach Taiwan within a day. The Taiwanese Armed Forces, also known as the Republic of China Armed Forces, will soon hold a live-fire drill to test use of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3), the US Army's premier air and missile defense system, according to a recent report in Taiwan's Chinese-language newspaper Liberty Times.
