This is what I have been trying to get across to you Liberal pea-brains. If Hillary is elected, we will go to war against China and Russia both as well as many of the Middle Eastern countries. I realize none of you have ever opened a Bible, but this is actually foretold and is taking shape. Hillary want Assaud gone the same way she got rid of the Libyan. She is war crazy and will start World War III with Russia and China as our primary opponents.

At least she would. But currently, Obama is backpedaling from his "rebels". I don´t think the US would be interested in relaunching this but don´t take the risk and vote Trump, please.

Given the equipment losses from Afghanistan and Iraq, and the exceptionally slow delivery potential from the Army Prepositioned Stock (APS) and War Reserve Secondary Items (WRSI) storage, it is not reasonable to assume by our Joint High Speed Vessel (Flank Speed ≈ 40-45 Knots for 1500 miles), Military Sealift Command, and its susceptibility to intercept by Wing in Ground Effect crafts (WIG). The US Navy does not use WIG technology, "The Pelican currently stands as the only identified means by which the US Army that can achieve its deployment transformation goals of deploying one division in five days, or five divisions in 30 days, anywhere in the world." If necessary, he said, the Pelican could carry 17 x M1 Abrams main battle tanks on a single sortie. Commercially, the aircraft's size and efficiency would allow it to carry types of cargo equivalent to those carried by container ships, at more than 10 times the speed. The Pelican --- designed to fly 50 feet above the surface, using the buoyant aerodynamic effect of flying close to the water to provide its maximum economic range, could transport 14K tons of cargo more than 10K miles over sea.

When Army units deploy rapidly for a contingency operation, its sustainability period is quite short. Beyond that, supplies need to come from theater-level inventory or have to be airlifted in. Theater-level inventory typically is established and replenished by the Military Sealift Command (MSC).

The Chinese Army has about has more than twice the ground forces and nearly 5000 tanks, at any invasion point within three days and a second way in nearly another three days.

In FY 2015, total US Army end strength was 1,042,000 soldiers: 490,000 Active soldiers, 202,000 in the Army Reserve, and 350,000 in the Army National Guard.
While in all previous wars, the US Army fought in terms of Corps and Divisions, in the 21st Century, America can only field brigade combat teams (BCTs); the basic unit for Army combat forces. A BCT averages 4,500 soldiers; with differing combat aviation brigades (CABs), which can also operate independently, varying in size and composition.

Logistics Readiness Centers were underfunded by $350 million in FY15, which covers funding for dining facilities, contract operations at ammo supply points, central issue facilities, maintenance, laundry and dry cleaning operations. Approximately 30% of the 32 Active BCTs being ready for contingency operations in FY 2015.

The US Armed Forces is still depleting it forces projection capacity with a much reduced tempo. The deployment in the harsh conditions of Iraq conditions has ended. Practically every BCT did a rotation in Iraq, and the equipment losses touched nearly every active duty BCTs and many reserve units.

More than 40 percent of the requested funds have been designated for activities other than replacing lost equipment or repairing returned systems. Those activities include upgrading systems to make them more capable and buying new equipment to eliminate shortfalls in the Army’s inventories, some of which are long-standing.

(IMPACT)

While it is not uncommon for the Armed Forces to make contingency plans, which are rarely followed; and boast that they can engage an Opposing Force (OPFOR) from wherever; including China - that is not representative of reality. Just as, it is nearly impossible for any OPFOR from wherever and successfully make any gains on an invasion of CONUS. An every military leader understands the dangers of such endeavors; especially if (for instance) an OPFOR were to invest in a specialty technology. Possibly BD-12 size jet-WIG armed with several EXERCETs (38–97 nmi) (or LRASM launch from a MK 41 VLS Mach 1.5+), against a Carrier (Flank Speed 70 Knots) with and AIRCAP of MACH 2 FA-18s.

Hello there. I actually did some work on the Roy Wheat which was a Russian ship the Military Sealift Command purchased from the Russians and put 100 feet into it's middle and upgraded the gas turbines and other equipment. Supposedly, three of these were to be able to outfit Marine brigade.

The problem with a lot of our equipment is that it is getting old. Look at the age of our B52's. Our tanks are getting old, our ships are getting old. A lot of our equipment is ancient by today's standards. Our military personnel is pretty much extended already and we have had to resort to longer deployments and more frequent deployments in the past. It's not a pretty picture at all.
