Avoiding Disaster in the Pacific: Taking a Clear-Eyed View of U.S. Challenges in a Major War with China
Abstract
This article argues that the US joint force would be badly disadvantaged across the classical operational factors of time, space, and force in a major conflict in East Asia with China's military. It further argues that, despite some encouraging developments both at home and abroad in terms of redressing US military shortfalls and growing allied capacity, this imbalance in a regional war is likely to endure for the rest of the decade and potentially beyond.
