“A brutal loss in a wargaming exercise last October ... ‘An aggressive red team that had been studying the United States for the last 20 years just ran rings around us. They knew exactly what we're going to do before we did it’ ... one of the scenarios revolved around a battle for Taiwan. One key lesson: gathering ships, aircraft, and other forces to concentrate and reinforce each other’s combat power also made them sitting ducks ... Even more critically, the blue team lost access to its networks almost immediately ... The October exercise was a test for a new Joint Warfighting Concept. But the new joint concept had been largely based on the same joint operations concepts that had guided forces for decades, Hyten said, and the red team easily defeated them ... Hyten wants the U.S. military to be ready to fight under this overhauled Joint Warfighting Concept by 2030 ... U.S. Transportation Command and the Air Force are working on using rockets and a space trajectory to get large cargo spaceships into and out of battlefields ... The Pentagon’s push to connect everything demands always-on, hackerproof networks ... a combat cloud that has all information that you can access at any time, anyplace ... the data doesn’t get exposed or hacked because it’s housed in one centralized location.”
https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2...uling-how-us-military-will-fight/184050/While the assumption of American military superiority is common among Patriots, the reality is this propaganda-borne bias is unfounded. America hasn’t properly won a war since World War 2, and that was with the world’s help. What’s more: America is an empire in decline, and the historical implications are clear. The notion that America could defeat China in Taiwan, an island off of China’s coast, is absurd. Anything short of Washington committing to total war is certain to lead to defeat in any such campaign, and the sudden stoppage of trade between China and America, where America is heavily dependent on Chinese goods, is likely to result in America’s collapse. Additionally, Hyten’s proposed solutions are as flawed as the immediately outdated Joint Warfighting Concept. One can’t achieve a “hackerproof network” which “you can access at any time, anyplace.” If the network can be accessed remotely, then PRC’s MSS can definitely access and hack it, or perhaps more likely, simply utilize the backdoor an MSS operative inserted while on the software development team. As far as deploying “large cargo spaceships into and out of battlefields,” if the enemy has established area denial of conventional transit media (air, land and sea), then what makes you think you can drop down from space, through the air, to the battlefield? If a plane can’t land there, a spaceship probably can’t land there either. Not to mention, you don’t have the time to develop, manufacture, test, and deploy a fleet of “large cargo spaceships” sufficient to supply an army before PRC captures Taiwan and/or USA is no longer realistically capable of effectively challenging PRC militarily. Where, the DOD calculates that window closes by 2030.
