In reply to the discussion: In Beijing's backyard, U.S. demonstrates its military might [View all]ancianita
(43,308 posts)119. It's still all about the Carville variation about delivery -- deterrence of that "progression."
To that end, & toward pre-emptive US decision making about all military things Chinese, let's take into account the Joint All-Domain Command and Control, which has recently run two tests of its world wide anti-missile pre-emptive defense coordination, among other things.
Joint All-Domain Command and Control or JADC2 is the concept that the Department of Defense has developed to connect sensors from all branches of the armed forces into a § unified network powered by artificial intelligence.[1] [2] These branches include the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy, as well as Space Force.
Each military branch has its initiative that contributes to JADC2; the Army has Project Convergence,[3] the Navy has Project Overmatch,[4] and the Air Force has the Advanced Battle Management System,[5][6][7] also known as ABMS.[8] The Space Force has the Space Development Agency's National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA).[9][10][11]
The DoD has held at least two critical JADC2 exercises. The first one, which took place in Florida in December 2019, centered on a simulated threat posed by cruise missiles. This was the very first demonstration of ABMS, which took place during the exercise. Air Force and Navy aircraft (including F-22 and F-35 fighter jets), a Navy destroyer, an Army Sentinel radar system, a mobile artillery system, as well as commercial space and ground sensors demonstrated their ability to collect, analyze, and share data in real-time to provide a more comprehensive picture of the operating environment.[12] For more information, see JADC2 at the Army's Project Convergence experiments
In July 2020, the Department of Defense carried out a second test of the JADC2 system. In the course of this exercise, planes from the Air Force communicated with naval vessels that were stationed in the Black Sea. Additionally, special operations personnel from eight other NATO nations and a simulated environment collaborated to deter a possible attack from Russia.[12]
In November 2022 ABMS experiments showed how JADC2 is really § combined arms. Brig. Gen. Jeffery Valenzia (USAF CFT lead for JADC2) [13]
In early December 2022 JWCC -- Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability -- was awarded to Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle.

Because of this and other facts laid out -- in an attempted nuclear war -- I'm still betting on a US win.
Our best minds of the cyberworld are working with the DoD for a reason -- they, America and the world would have a lot to lose through nuclear war.

I don't think there is a choice, either with China or Russia/ Ukraine. We need to be there.
