Fortress America Launch: Military Base Power and Supply Chain Security
Today, at my
direction, we are launching Fortress America,
a national insurance policy for the American homeland.
Now, Fortress stands for Federal Operations for
Resilience, Troop
Resources, Energy, Supply, and
Survivability.
And here's what Fortress calls for.
Every major military installation in America is gonna generate its own
power,
independent of the civilian grid.
If an adversary takes down the grid by cyber attack, by sabotage,
or by any means,
our bases stay lit, our aircraft keep flying,
our command centers
never go dark.
We're bringing our critical supply chains home.
The rare earths, the specialty metals, the semiconductors, the propellants
mined in America, refined in America, built in America by
American workers.
We are building long
overdue strategic reserves,
deep enough to fight through disruption.
Think munitions, fuel, medicine, blood.
Deep enough that if the world supply lines break, and in a real war
they're gonna break,
America keeps fighting anyway.
We're hardening every installation on American soil against cyber intrusion,
sabotage, and drones.
And we're securing the high ground and the airwaves, our satellites,
our spectrum, our ability to see, to navigate,
and to talk to one another.
Previous administrations may have traded away our resilience one job,
one factory,
one town, and one base at a time.
Fortress America is how we get that back.
No matter the circumstance, this department will have the power, the
equipment, and the supplies you need to take the
fight to the enemy.
The Department
