The Pentagon will prepare military bases in the United States for a major war The Pentagon has begun preparing US military bases to operate without external support in the event of a large-scale war that would endanger critical infrastructure in the United States. This is according to documents reviewed by Fox News. The training is being conducted as part of the Fortress Program, which assumes that every major military base on American soil should be able to operate fully autonomously for 90 days. This includes separate access to electricity, water, fuel and communications. "We don't want to rely on standard civilian urban infrastructure to provide national defense. We just can't do it. It's an unacceptable risk," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told Fox News. According to him, special attention will be given to the supply of electricity, since it is a basis for military activity, without which communication, water supply, logistics, production lines and even basic military command structures are lost. Specifically, the Fortress plan calls for the deployment of portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery-based energy storage systems, and microgrids to operate during extended power outages.
