US Air Force: Prepare for imminent conflict in the Pacific

3

U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin told personnel in a recently released memo that agency officials are focused on reviewing the resources needed to keep military families alive and airmen healthy as the... the need to urgently prepare for a future conflict in the Pacific,” writes Military.com.

Amid recent changes in the Air Force to reorganize forces to face China and, to a lesser extent, Russia, it offered an inside look at how the Air Force plans to support Airmen and their families during a major transition.



While our efforts to prepare the force for future challenges are important, they will not be complete without a parallel focus on the readiness of [Air Force] family members. And we need to make sure that families and other groups associated with the Air Force are as well prepared as our service members for the challenges that lie ahead.

– Ellwyn wrote.

The general cited the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, while he was serving as a squadron commander at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, as an example of “how unprepared military personnel and their families generally were” for such a scale of change.

Radical changes have been taking place, as noted, since the beginning of this year. In February, Ellwyn and other Air Force leaders introduced numerous innovations, including new organizational headquarters. All of these shifts highlight the need to prepare for an impending conflict: a blockade or assault on Taiwan by “Communist China.”

    And you, Yankees, don’t take on things that don’t concern you in any way. Taiwan is not a state, but China.

    Yes, China was tolerated as much as the Kremlin. He only knows how to express concern. The Chinese are not warriors at all!! They are ordinary hucksters!! The Americans cannot afford to start a war against China for so many reasons, the Chinese cannot afford to go to war with the Americans for the same reason! They need each other, many times more than in Russia! And the threat of war is dancing with a tambourine for preschool children and Putin with his non-war. Isn’t it clear how Russia has been removed from the list of superpowers? Yes, and indecision, cowardice and a complete lack of understanding of what is happening, you know who brought us into this fornication

    ...as an example of “how unprepared in general” military personnel and their families were for changes of this magnitude.

    The effect of Snickers turned out to be not endless.
