Army Aviation Special Forces Command Cancels Helicopter Landing at Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Citing Mission Considerations and Prior Notification

(CNA reporter You Kai-hsiang, Taipei, June 18) The Army Aviation Special Forces Command stated that the 602nd Brigade had coordinated with the Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology (CTUST) for a planned exercise at the university today. However, due to mission factors, the university was informed yesterday of the cancellation of the helicopter landing, with only ground exercises being conducted. The media report claiming "causing surprise among teachers and students" is inconsistent with the facts.

The Army Aviation Special Forces Command issued a press release this evening regarding media reports of "military campus exhibition and recruitment event temporarily canceled, causing surprise among teachers and students." The 602nd Brigade had coordinated with CTUST for a planned exercise at the university today. However, due to mission factors, the university was informed yesterday of the cancellation of the helicopter landing, with only ground exercises being conducted. The media report claiming "causing surprise among teachers and students" is inconsistent with the facts.

The Aviation Special Forces Command emphasized that CTUST has long supported the armed forces and has spared no effort in promoting talent recruitment and national defense education for all citizens. This incident will not affect the friendship between the two parties, and cooperation with the university for diverse exchanges will continue in the future. (Editor: Su Lung-chi) 1150618
