Pentagon's Fortress Plan Prepares US Bases for Global War Disruptions

Tonight, the Pentagon is preparing

for the nightmare scenario,

a global

war that knocks out power grids,

cripples supply chains, and cuts

off military bases. Chief

National Security Correspondent

Jennifer Griffin shows

us what's being planned.

The UK and Japan are urging

households to prepare for at least three

days without essential services.

Germany is advising its

citizens to stockpile ten days of

food and water due to potential

Russian sabotage of critical

infrastructure.

The shadow war, as it

is being waged today, has an objective

that goes far beyond

anything we saw during the Cold War.

And now the Pentagon

is updating its doomsday plan,

preparing for 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.

It's more widespread than past Cold

War preparations to move

the top military command

into Cheyenne Mountain in the event of a

nuclear attack.

Under this new initiative,

dubbed Fortress,

every major military

installation

in the US should prepare to

operate independently

for at least ninety days.

Documents obtained by Fox

reveal plans for portable nuclear

reactors, backup power grids, and massive reserves of

ammunition, critical minerals,

medical supplies, spare parts,

and communications capable

of functioning even if GPS and

satellites are disrupted, including survivable satellites and

jam-resistant

communication networks.

The Pentagon wants civilian

factories ready to switch to wartime

weapons production,

with alternative supply chains in place if

foreign suppliers are cut off.

China particularly

has been doing operational

preparation of battlefield

against our critical infrastructures.

What that means is they've

been putting malware,

malicious software, or

determined flaws where they can

penetrate our

critical infrastructures.

The Pentagon's plan is likely

to cost billions of dollars

and take time

to implement at the nearly two

hundred major military installations

across the US, Bret.

Just interesting timing.

You got the UK, all these

warnings from different

countries, and now this.

And don't forget, Salt Typhoon,

Volt Typhoon, that was the Chinese

infiltration hacking of the

critical infrastructure.

That is still ongoing.

All right. We'll watch it. Jen, thanks.
