美國國防部拒絕證實媒體報道的美軍目前在台灣秘密訓練台灣軍隊的消息。
路透社報道說，兩位要求匿名的知情人士周四（10月7日）表示，少量的美國特種作戰部隊成員一直在臨時性地輪調台灣，為台灣部隊進行訓練。同天早些時候，《華爾街日報》援引未具名的美國官員的話報道了訓練的細節。
曆來不披露美國為台灣軍隊提供訓練或谘詢細節的五角大樓沒有對這個部署做出具體的評論或確認。
五角大樓發言人約翰·索普爾(John Supple)說：“我對具體的行動、作戰或訓練沒有任何評論，但我想強調的是，我們對台灣的支持以及與台灣的防務關係，與中華人民共和國目前構成的威脅保持吻合。”

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.
