The 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion (Chinese: 中華民國陸軍101兩棲偵察營), known as the Sea Dragon Frogmen is special operations forces of the Republic of China Army (ROCA); not to be confused with other commando frogman unit within the ROC Armed Forces which is the Amphibious Reconnaissance and Patrol Unit (ARP) of the Republic of China Marine Corps (ROCMC). The members of the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion are commonly known as Sea Dragon Frogmen.
Although they along with their ROCMC counterpart (the Amphibious Reconnaissance and Patrol Unit) often gets compared to the United States Navy SEALs (US Navy SEALs) because of their shared "Frogman" moniker, their role is quite unique being the only known official, relatively high-profile “frogman” unit under the branch of the Army. The closest analogous comparison for the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion to their US counterpart would be the combat divers of the United States Army Special Forces (Green Berets) or any other United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) soldiers (e.g: 528th Sustainment Brigade, Delta Force, Regimental Reconnaissance Company (RRC)) who have completed the Combat Diver Qualification Course. Along with other Taiwanese special operations forces they are expected to play a key role in any conflict with China especially in regards to irregular warfare and land warfare.[1]
