Task & Purpose
 
May 6, 2025


As tensions escalate in the Indo-Pacific between the United States and China, particularly over Taiwan, the U.S. military is reviving World War II-era bases in the Western Pacific to counter China's growing military capabilities.

These 80- to 85-year-old bases, from Tinian to Peleliu, are being modernized to support the U.S. Air Force's Agile Combat Employment (ACE) strategy, a cornerstone of its Pacific defense plan.

This episode explores the strategic importance of these bases, the challenges posed by China's Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy, and how revitalized bases, alongside new access to Philippine sites, enhance U.S. deterrence and operational resilience.
