US DoD shifts Pacific strategy to Agile Combat Employment, focusing on smaller launch points to counter China's missile threat.

The US Department of Defense is shifting its Pacific strategy to Agile Combat Employment (ACE), focusing on multiple smaller launch points instead of large military bases to protect against China's missile threat. This includes redeveloping the island of Tinian with stealth runways to enhance the survivability of US assets. The strategy aims to prevent China from targeting concentrated military resources, particularly in the event of a major conflict.
