    ❗️Pentagon launches ‘doomsday plan’ in case of global war

    Expand

    The Pentagon has unveiled a sweeping new domestic preparedness program dubbed the FORTRESS initiative, requiring major US military bases to sustain combat and logistical operations independently for at least 90 days without civilian infrastructure support.

    According to internal documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, the strategy is designed to safeguard the national security apparatus against catastrophic failures in domestic power grids and international supply chains during a potential multi-front global conflict.

    Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell stated that relying on municipal civilian infrastructure presents an intolerable risk, signaling a major militarization of the US as Washington anticipates escalating confrontations.

    The initiative centers on weaning military installations off public electricity through the deployment of portable nuclear reactors, localized microgrids, and massive battery reserves capable of withstanding prolonged infrastructural collapses.

    Beyond energy independence, FORTRESS mandates deep structural overhauls to the domestic industrial base, including the creation of dual-source supply chains for critical minerals, electronics, and munitions.

    Through the integrated Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network, the Pentagon is actively laying the groundwork to transition commercial civilian factories into wartime production facilities upon the outbreak of a crisis, ensuring uninterrupted military output despite international trade disruptions.

    Complementing the infrastructure overhaul, the Department of War has launched Project Meridian, a specialized advisory group co-led by high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, tasked with mapping out advanced warfare technologies within 120 days.

    Parnell emphasized that these measures reflect a departure from the historical assumption that oceanic borders protect the US mainland from modern warfare. By hardening communications against satellite jamming and establishing massive strategic stockpiles, Washington is aggressively cementing a permanent war economy posture aimed at sustaining prolonged global hostilities.

      Yea, couldve maybe accomplished something if they did it in the 80s. It’s too late now for this, unless they juice that war budget up to $2 trillion, which they cant afford

        Personally, I think this is the US preparing to devolve into overt military rule over its civilians.

          Bingo. But the truth is the budget and manufacturing cannot support big expensive changes like this unless they take 30 years.

            Not to mention the US will be even more constrained by the collapse of its hegemony. If anything, I think thus will just accelerate resistance in the US.

          Yeah it feels like they are building a plan to set up reverse concentration camps. Like they plan on setting up a military apartheid where only genocidal soldiers are given a reasonable living standard while the bourgeoisie squeeze the workers like slaves. Whoever made up this plan probably watched City of the Dead one too many times and thought that Denis Hopper was playing the good guy and also thinks that jabotinski’s “Iron wall” is working for israel.
