The Navy and Marine Corps Command stated that the rumors of the Navy Marine Corps Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit being disbanded are not true. Recent reports claiming the merger of the EOD unit with the Reconnaissance Company sparked concerns from US military advisors, questioning the sudden dissolution of Taiwan’s 70-year effort to build tri-service combat capabilities. The Command clarified that the adjustments are part of future force planning to merge some units and not disband them. The EOD unit, praised as the 'Taiwan Sea Dragon Commando Forces', is the only unit in Taiwan's military with amphibious combat capabilities including airborne, surface, and underwater operations.
