Attack submarines. Play your silly surface sea and air games. If I can lock you into underground sea pens with a real threat of sinking all your surface ships...war is over and I win. Expensive? Yeah. Effective? Until someone learns to find submarines without hacking into comms systems to find them and get notice when they sail, yes.
COCOMs don’t fight anyone. They do staff work. Expect they still have more policy folks than OSD Policy does. The services are building a force for a future COCOM who’s probably a O-4 or O-5. The force the COCOMs have to “fight tonight “ reflects force development efforts over the last few decades. How long does it really take to deliver something they want? Probably at least their entire tenure and that of their successors. Perhaps, reducing the sheer volume of senior leaders might create a more integrated effort.
Uh excuse me I have it on reliable authority that diversity is our strength so dei needs to be number one on that list. We're going to girl boss the Chinese into submission.
Friends? Who trusts America seeing how we abandoned Afghanistan and now appear to be doing the same to Israel. The president is now in favor of a two state solution - Michigan and Nevada.
Look at INDOPACOM # 29, operational planners of the world. Therein lies your future. All that critical thinking that goes into Mission Analysis, COA development, and COA analysis is about to move out of your realm and into AI. Shortly after that, OPORDs become AI written with human checking.
After Defense of Guam, all of the stand off missile funding programs should be lined up sequentially. The fact that DOG or LRASMS/MSTs are even on the unfunded list is an indictment of our leadership.

Drones and missiles.
Clandestinely delivered mines should be #1. Nothing else matters if we don’t get that post haste.

I assume Guam goes up in smoke at: Time plus 1, or less. When I look at my little piece of the puzzle, over there, I fret a bit.
Without putting real money into our forces, we are “all hat, and no cattle”, as my friends in Texas would say.

I have nothing useful to add; I just want to point out that according to Rep Hank Johnson, Guam will tip over if too many forces are added to it.
After squandering trillions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine we now confront imperial overstretch. We are broke.

So many unfunded. Lots of cyber requests.
We need warheads on foreheads. This post reminds me of going to a diner and asking for something on the menu and finding out it’s not available.

I'm going to say it is probably a lot further to the left than that.
