How the US Air Force is Preparing for War with China, and Why it Won't Work

- The US Air Force is attempting a major reorganization in an attempt to better prepare it for a conflict with China; - This includes reorganizing how the USAF develops and acquires new aircraft and weapons and how its air assets themselves are organized; - Together with new strategies like “agile combat employment” (ACE) the US seeks to offset China’s growing advantages in both quantity and quality; - USAF planners are also attempting to overcome what they call the “tyranny of distance” ahead of a conflict the US plans to fight against China along or even within Chinese borders, thousands of miles from American shores; - The USAF and the US military in general is so busy attempting to figure out how to fight against China in Asia, that little thought has been put into whether this conflict is necessary in the first place; References: Global Times - US Air Force's plans to reorganize in preparation for war with China won't work (February 5, 2024): https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202402/1306719.shtml Politico - Air Force preps for mega overhaul with an eye toward China (February 2, 2024): https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/02/air-force-command-overhaul-00139297 US State Department - U.S. Relations With Taiwan: https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-taiwan/ Wilson Center Digital Archive - Joint Communique between the United States and China (February 27, 1972): https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/joint-communique-between-united-states-and-china BBC - The US is quietly arming Taiwan to the teeth (November 2023): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67282107 Wall Street Journal - U.S. to Expand Troop Presence in Taiwan for Training Against China Threat (February 23, 2023): https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-expand-troop-presence-in-taiwan-for-training-against-china-threat-62198a83 The Warzone - China Is Cloning Kratos’ XQ-58A Valkyrie Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle Concept (Updated) (September 2021): https://www.twz.com/42555/china-is-cloning-kratos-xq-58a-valkyrie-unmanned-combat-air-vehicle-concept US Army Maneuver Center of Excellence - Defeating the Russian Battalion Tactical Group, by Captain Nicolas J.
