TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—A female military officer shined on the third day of Taiwan’s

annual Han Kuang drills on Thursday as she led a tank platoon to engage in a life-fire anti-landing drill on Taiwan’s outlying island of Kinmen.

Ho Wen-qian (何玟蒨), the first female officer in the tank force of the Kinmen Defense Command, participated in the anti-landing drill at the beach on Liaolo Bay. The drill simulated making a counterattack on the enemy’s amphibious landing. Upon receiving an order to make an immediate counterattack, the defense command’s tank battalion set out to fire with quick action and imposing manner.

Ho, who is from Taichung City, was leading her tank platoon in the drill with composure and coordinated well with her comrades, reports said.

During Thursday’s drill, several battlefield scenarios were simulated, including close contact with the enemy, passing through narrow passages, encountering attacks from enemy armed helicopters, and charging, in order to test the country’s tank force and its fighting capability, reports said.     [FULL  STORY]
