Media reports in Taiwan say these units will be equipped with Hsiung Feng II, Hsiung Feng III, extended-range Hsiung Feng III, and Harpoon missiles in the future.

To support these units, new facilities such as ammunition depots, a driver training center, a maintenance center, and garages, will be built over the next few years.

The strategy will be to send these units to mountainous areas and tunnels during wartime to protect them against incoming attacks.

These squadrons are expected to be fully established by 2026.
