The Pentagon: Strengthening the construction of Guam and Australia bases, focusing on countering the CCP
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor: Xia He / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/11/30/a103281172.html
The Pentagon announced on the 29th that it has completed the Global Military Deployment Review (GPR). A senior defense official said that the Pentagon will focus and strengthen the US military bases in Guam and Australia in preparations to fight against the CCP.
Mara Karlin, deputy undersecretary of defense policy of the US Department of Defense, said at a briefing on November 29 that after months of research and analysis, the Pentagon has completed the first global military deployment assessment after President Biden took office.
The assessment pointed out that the Indo-Pacific region is the focus of the Pentagon's attention. Secretary of Defense Austin warned that the United States is facing "a challenge from China's (community) step by step."
Karin said that under the order of US President Biden, Austin began an assessment of global military deployment in March, and the assessment results are classified. Recently, Biden approved Austin's findings and recommendations in the evaluation.
The assessment report stated that the United States will strengthen cooperation with regional allies and partners, and advance various measures to enhance regional stability and deter potential military aggression by the CCP and threats from North Korea.
Karin said that the Pentagon will focus on strengthening the “infrastructure of Guam and Australia”, prioritizing “military construction in the Pacific Islands” and “seeking greater regional access for military partner activities”.
"In Australia, you will see the rotation of new fighters and bombers, you will see ground force training and enhanced logistical cooperation, and in the wider Indo-Pacific region, you will see a series of infrastructure improvements", Karin Said that in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Australia, airports and fuel and ammunition storage facilities will also be upgraded.
The assessment report also instructed the US Department of Defense to "reduce" its deployment in other parts of the world in order to focus more on the Indo-Pacific region and "improve operational preparations and activities in the Indo-Pacific region." The Ministry of National Defense will upgrade the headquarters of the attack helicopters and artillery divisions previously stationed in South Korea to permanent deployment.
Regarding whether this assessment mentions strengthening military cooperation with Taiwan, Karin said there is no comment, but she added that the United States is continuing to negotiate with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region on strengthening military defense.
Earlier, the Pentagon announced that Defense Secretary Austin will visit South Korea on 30 November. It is expected that the two defense secretary will discuss the issue of responding to the CCP’s security challenges.
Austin will then travel to California to attend the Reagan National Defense Forum in 2021 and give a speech on how to deal with the CCP’s "pressing challenges".
As tensions in the Taiwan Strait have intensified, the US government has made confronting the CCP a foreign policy priority. US President Biden and the Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping held a video conference in mid-November. Both sides stated that differences should be managed and conflicts avoided but they failed to develop new guardrails on issues such as Taiwan.
Reuters reported that manufacturers and professionals from seven countries including the United States, Britain, Australia, South Korea, India, Spain, and Canada are secretly helping Taiwan build its own submarine fleet to respond to possible attacks by the CCP.
In response to this, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said that the various challenges of the national construction of submarines have been "eliminated" and are "progressing as planned."
