Al Jazeera: Christine E. Wormuth – US Secretary of the Army: “If we are going to go to war with China, we will not do it alone, but with allies”

by

WASHINGTON โ€”
The Biden administration official with direct responsibility for the U.S. Army laid out in surprising detail this week a multi-pronged strategy for deterring, and if necessary, prevailing in any future war with China.

โ€œI personally am not of the view that an amphibious invasion of Taiwan is imminent,โ€ U.S. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) on Monday. โ€œBut we obviously have to prepare, to be prepared to fight and win that war.โ€

Elements of the plan include placing more troops in Asia and arming them with upgraded equipment, including ship-to-shore vessels and hypersonic weapons, much of which will be pre-positioned in the region.

โ€œOur goal is to avoid fighting a land war in Asia,โ€ Wormuth said. โ€œI think the best way to avoid fighting that war is by showing China and countries in that region we can actually win that war.โ€
