Pentagon's Fortress Plan: 90 Days of Independence for US Military Bases

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 ninety 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 ninety 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.
