Taiwan Partnership Act

The Taiwan Partnership Act would require the Department of Defense to evaluate and report on the potential for increased cooperation between the U.S. National Guard and Taiwan’s defense forces. The bill aims to improve Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities by establishing a partnership program modeled after the existing State Partnership Program, which pairs U.S. state National Guard units with foreign nations for training and disaster response. For citizens, this legislation represents a formal step toward strengthening U.S. security ties in the Indo-Pacific region and enhancing the readiness of National Guard units through international exchange and training exercises.
