Work is expected to be carried out from 2022-2023. The service will also reportedly spend NT$450.79 million to develop necessary infrastructure for the M1A2T MBT force, including a live-firing range, maintenance dept, and driving training area at Armor Training Command in Hsinchu. Taiwanese outlet Liberty Times reported that the RoCA’s Army Command has outlined in its 2022 budget report that it plans to carry out a four-year, NT$91.77 million construction project to build hardened shelters to increase the survivability of the new tanks in the advent of an attack by the mainland. Preparatory work is also well under way for the anticipated delivery of the first batch of General Dynamics M1A2T Abrams MBTs in 2024. The RoCA also operates a large fleet of CM-11 Brave Tiger (hybrid M60 MBTs with M48 turrets) as well as CM-12 (updated M48A3 MBTs) platforms. 30, 1966 Republic of China General purpose vehicles 122.2 80.4 July 13, 1966 JH IH helicopter 43.8 39.4 Aug.
