Pentagon's FORTRESS Plan Prepares US Bases for 90 Days of Independent Operation
The Pentagon is implementing the FORTRESS plan to prepare US military bases to operate independently for at least 90 days during a major conflict that could disrupt civilian infrastructure, including power grids and supply chains. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on municipal systems by ensuring access to electricity, water, fuel, and communications. The plan includes converting civilian factories to defense production and developing alternative supply chains and strategic reserves to sustain military operations amid potential domestic crises.
