↖️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 US Army Massively Revs Up Pacific War Preparations - Could the US Army Save Taiwan?
What about the US Army and Land Power in the Pacific?
🔶️ From a strategic and tactical perspective, there are many ways the Army could support, enable and sustain a networked, multi-domain combat force in the Pacific. There is clearly the possibility of force reinforcement, as US Army Black Hawk helicopters and even land artillery weapons have operated from US Navy ships in joint exercises. This kind of weapons application could greatly improve land-attack options in coastal and island areas and also extend deployment reach for reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and troop transport in potential “island hopping” warfare scenarios.
Land Army in Pacific to rescue Taiwan
🔶️ “Going all the way back to World War II, tanks have been an important part of the Combined Arms force out here (the Pacific)..... a number of nations in the region have tanks, they have armored divisions. The Philippine Army is a good example……Australia just purchased M-1 tanks. And we trained with the Australian Army in Talisman Sabre with their newly arrived M-1s,” Flynn said.
🔶️ Land-armies of course operate as a deterrent in the Pacific, and although the US and its allies are unlikely to attack mainland China, there certainly are some potentially serious warfare scenarios wherein armored ground units might need to attack or occupy large land areas.
🔶️ A perhaps lesser recognized advantage of having more Army assets, platforms and weapons in the Pacific would likely pertain to “air defense,” something which is now almost entirely “joint” when it comes to the Army’s contribution. The Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), for example, has demonstrated an ability to construct an otherwise disparate set of integrated radar and missile defense “nodes” across vast distances. Perhaps of greatest significance, IBCS can network Patriot missiles with Sentinel Radar and other land-based missile defense assets with a common software backbone designed to enable data transmission, networking and collaborative or multi-domain target tracking.
🔶️ Flynn explained that forward, multi-national and multi-domain forces refining concepts of operation with US Navy, Air Force and Space units in the Pacific form the essence of strategic deterrence. Flynn described this as creating “operational endurance for the joint force so we can deter war … because the aim out here is no war.”
In 1983, America's biggest daytime talk show did something that's never happened since.
It spent an hour on a live debate on the DPT shot and vaccine mandates. Injured kids were in the studio, and the host asked what no host would dare ask today:
"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
🇺🇸 A Red Baron delivery worker went viral after snapping at a social media prankster who pretended to steal $10 from his phone via Apple Pay while he was working.
The father of four broke down over his exhausting schedule and financial struggles, prompting the internet to rally behind him. A GoFundMe has since raised more than $500,000, while Red Baron publicly backed the employee and confirmed his job is safe.
