Yes, America needs improved facilities in the Indo-Pacific region away from the built-up hubs in Japan and South Korea. Logistics don't sprout out of nowhere.
Posture and logistics remain serious weak spots for credible American deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. . . . [I]t doesn’t matter how many F-35s the military buys if very few are stationed in the region, their primary bases have little defense against Chinese missiles, they don’t have secondary airfields to operate from, [or] they can’t access prepositioned stocks of fuel and munitions.
And that logistic and protective network is important if the Army is to have a role across the Indo-Pacific region, as I addressed in Military Review. Especially on Taiwan if China invades.
