Pentagon Aims for U.S. Military Bases to Operate Independently for 90 Days in Emergencies

The Pentagon is developing a "FORTRESS America" initiative to enhance the resilience of major U.S. military bases, enabling them to operate for up to 90 days without external support. This plan addresses potential disruptions from war, cyberattacks, or infrastructure failures by reducing dependence on civilian power grids, water systems, and supply chains, ensuring critical operations can continue during emergencies.
