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 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.
