President Tsai Ing-wen is scheduled to attend the ROC Military Academy’s 92nd anniversary ceremony on Thursday. ROC is short for the Republic of China, Taiwan’s official name.
This will be Tsai’s first inspection of mass military drills as Taiwan’s new commander-in-chief.
The ROC Military Academy was established in 1924 and headed by Chang Kai-shek. The academy has nurtured generations of high-ranking officers who take up important positions in the ROC military.
