Penghu Defense Command, Military command facility in FuXing Village, Taiwan.
Penghu Defense Command is a military command facility in Fuxing Village overseeing operations across the Penghu archipelago. It coordinates multiple combat support forces including communications and air defense units stationed throughout the island group.
The facility was established in Magong in 1949 and underwent multiple reorganizations from infantry and armor brigades to its current reduced brigade-level strength. Over the decades, the command structure evolved significantly to adapt to changing strategic requirements.
The command operates near Magong city, where the Tianhou Temple serves fishermen praying to Matsu and the Four Eyes Well stands as a water resource.
The facility is generally not open to public visitors as it is an active military installation. Those interested in regional military history can find further information at local museums or visitor centers in Magong.
By 2013, the facility controlled the 168th garrison brigade and 503rd armored brigade while managing defense strategies across the entire archipelago.
