Taiwan's Army conducted its first battalion-level exercise with M1A2T main battle tanks on December 23, 2025, in Hsinchu, addressing infrastructure concerns related to the vehicles' weight. The 584 Armor Brigade demonstrated the tanks' capabilities alongside infantry fighting vehicles and missile carriers, while legislators raised issues about potential road damage and recommended NATO-style bridge-crossing protocols. Taiwan has invested NT$40.52415 billion for 108 M1A2T tanks, with 80 already delivered and more expected by early 2026.
