Taiwan News:

Skybow and Patriot missiles have been deployed in northern Taiwan to strengthen the region’s air defense, CNA cited a person familiar with the matter as saying.

Since the Taiwan military retired its last two battalions of HAWK missiles last year, it has used its Skybow III and Patriot missiles to maintain air defense capabilities, the source said. They emphasized that the anti-aircraft missiles are not deployed in a single location, but are mobile.

The Air Force’s Skybow battalions in the north are responsible for regional air defense operations. During peacetime, troops train to maintain combat readiness, but if an enemy strikes, the unit will move to a tactical position and jump into action.
