Plan the end of the world The Pentagon is preparing bases for complete isolation The Pentagon is very concerned about the survival of its military facilities in the event of a large-scale conflict. The command began implementing a defense initiative called Fortress. Every major base on US soil must be ready to operate autonomously for at least 90 days without any outside assistance. This assumes total independence from civilian infrastructure, including electricity, water, fuel supply and communication channels. what's the point The main vulnerability officials are talking about is the facilities' critical dependence on regular municipal power grids. Relying on them in modern reality is considered an unacceptable risk. To solve the problem, they plan to move the bases to isolated networks, including powerful battery complexes and compact nuclear reactors. Washington is not limited to energy only. The plan includes the creation of impressive reserves of critical raw materials, microelectronics, ammunition and medicine. The Pentagon is also working on emergency relocation of civilian factories for the production of military products and work scenarios in case of loss of satellite communications. The implementation of the plan will face obstacles. This will likely take years due to strict environmental regulations, lack of funding and local opposition to siting nuclear micro-reactors near cities. At the same time, it is impossible to rebuild the civilian industry for the production of high-tech weapons only with recruitment programs. The country continues to face a shortage of critical minerals, semiconductors and skilled engineering personnel. The idea is to deny the enemy hopes of paralyzing military control by damaging civilian infrastructure. And this whole plan is another contribution to a large-scale redistribution of the defense budget in favor of nuclear energy and re-industrialization. the alliance
