Fargo Details Pacific Command Posture Plan
EFL - boiler plate about Japan & South Korea but these interesting details at the end:The command is taking concrete steps to improve deployment capabilities. "We're co-locating Stryker brigades with high-speed vessels and C-17 airlift in Hawaii and Alaska," Fargo said. "We're deploying rotational bomber elements to Guam. We're stationing, once again, submarines in Guam. And we've proposed home- porting an additional carrier strike group forward in the Pacific." The command is looking more for access now than bases. "A network of cooperative security locations -- places, not bases -- will provide avenues of critical access for contingency operations, expand special operations force presence and continue, through our security cooperation efforts, to strengthen the capacity of our allies and partners in the region," he said.
