Pentagon's Fortress Plan Prepares US Bases for Global War

The Pentagon preparing for a nightmare

scenario, a global war that could

knock out power grids,

cripple supply chains,

and leave military bases cut

off from essential

services. Our chief national security correspondent,

Jennifer

Griffin, reports live in Washington.

Uh, this is getting a lot of play online, Jennifer.

That's right, John. Well, the Pentagon has a doomsday plan,

and now it's updating

its doomsday plan, moving beyond its Cold War-era continuity

of government planning,

which called for key military leaders to

retreat to hardened facilities

in Cheyenne Mountain in the event

of an incoming nuclear

attack. Now, the Pentagon sees a new nightmare

scenario, a global war that

knocks out America's power grids,

cripples supply chains, and leaves US military bases cut off

from essential services. Other allies, including the UK, have

been warning their populations to stockpile 90 days of

food and water just in

case. Under the new Pentagon initiative

called Fortress, every major

military installation in the

continental

US would be expected to operate independently for at least 90

days with its own electricity, water, fuel, and

communications. Documents obtained by Fox reveal

plans for portable nuclear

reactors, backup power grids,

and massive reserves of

ammunition, critical minerals, medical

supplies, and spare parts. The Pentagon also wants civilian

factories ready to switch to wartime weapons production,

alternative supply chains in

place if foreign suppliers are cut off,

and military communications capable of functioning even if

GPS and satellites are disrupted.

Experts agree America's next

major war could reach US soil through

cyberattacks, drones, and long-range weapons, particularly in a

potential conflict with

China, which appears to be preparing the

battlefield by targeting US critical infrastructure through

ongoing cyberattacks like Salt and Volt Typhoon.
