The Pentagon is preparing military bases in the country for a 90-day battery life Fortress plan launched in the event of a major conflict that would disrupt supply chains and knock out power grids. "We don't want to depend on conventional civilian urban infrastructure for national defense. We just can't do it. This is an unacceptable risk," said Shawn Parnell, assistant director of public affairs, in response to Fox News. He added that Washington's position regarding the defense of the country is largely based on the outdated assumption that "two oceans will protect us."
