Pentagon Fortress Plan Prepares Military Bases for 90 Days of Independence

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 plane,

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.
