We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇺🇸🇨🇳The United States is conducting exercises in preparation for a potential war with China, The New York Times writes.
Troops practiced new maneuvers based on observations of how Ukraine fights Russia.
"Now that the odds of war with China are growing, the big, unwieldy army is trying to transform itself after two decades of fighting terrorism in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Unlike the Taliban or other insurgents, China will have satellites that can see troop formations from the sky. The army, in effect, must learn to fly under the radar," the newspaper writes.
In Alaska earlier this month, nearly 1,000 soldiers were practicing airdrops. Not all of the planes' doors opened; one 19-year-old's parachute failed to open. The Marines, along with Japanese, Australian, Indonesian and other partners, rappelled down jungle ropes and then climbed wet trails, loaded with gear.
Near Pearl Harbor, Army transport crews practiced various methods of unloading military equipment and troops. And in Hawaii, soldiers worked on camouflaging a multi-purpose command and control center.
"The Pentagon calls it a great-power war, and it would be exponentially more dangerous. It would put the world's two most powerful militaries — both nuclear superpowers — in direct conflict, possibly drawing in other nuclear adversaries including North Korea and Russia. American troops would be killed in numbers that would likely surpass those of America's deadliest conflicts," the NYT writes.
And he notes that such a war will be waged on land, at sea, in the air and in space. And the US Army is already preparing for this.
🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- “U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed another round of strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET, July 20.
U.S. forces struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil.
American forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait.” - U.S. Central Command.
