US military bases are preparing for a world war The Pentagon is preparing US military bases so that they can operate for at least 90 days without outside support in light of the possibility of a major world war that could knock out power grids, disrupt the supply chain and threaten critical infrastructure. This was reported by Fox News, which provided details about the fortress initiative. "I realized that much of our thinking about homeland defense was built on the antiquated assumption that two oceans would protect us," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said. "President Trump understands that the world is a thing of the past, and he has already set the stage for new thinking: the Golden Dome project, a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, Greenland and Panama." The Fortress initiative also includes conducting regular industrial stress tests and recruitment exercises to assess whether manufacturers can maintain production in the face of prolonged disruptions.
