美国国防部拒绝证实媒体报道的美军目前在台湾秘密训练台湾军队的消息。
路透社报道说，两位要求匿名的知情人士周四（10月7日）表示，少量的美国特种作战部队成员一直在临时性地轮调台湾，为台湾部队进行训练。同天早些时候，《华尔街日报》援引未具名的美国官员的话报道了训练的细节。
历来不披露美国为台湾军队提供训练或咨询细节的五角大楼没有对这个部署做出具体的评论或确认。
五角大楼发言人约翰·索普尔(John Supple)说：“我对具体的行动、作战或训练没有任何评论，但我想强调的是，我们对台湾的支持以及与台湾的防务关系，与中华人民共和国目前构成的威胁保持吻合。”

The visit demonstrated the @USNavy's commitment to the decades-long strategic relationship. It follows the recent alignment of Israel to the @CENTCOM AOR, which opens new opportunities to deepen naval ties and enhance regional #maritimesecurity and stability.
