【Shocking News】The Pentagon has changed dramatically! The U.S. Pacific Command has turned the world upside down, targeting the Indo-Pacific and detonating global attention!
PACOM is no longer limited to the Pacific? The Pentagon shook the world by announcing a makeover, renaming the Pacific Command to the Indo-Pacific Command. What is the underlying strategy behind this? Let's do it.
The reason for the "fall from grace" of the Pacific Command, why was the title of 71 years overturned?
The Pentagon's decision is groundbreaking: Pacific Command, one of the oldest and largest commands in the U.S. military, commands a huge 300,000 U.S. troops. In recent years, however, PACOM's influence appears to have been limited. Why give up this 71-year-old name? What are the strategic considerations?
The image of the US military in the "Pacific" is limited? The rise of the great power water army rewrites the rules!
In the past, the Pacific Command had a huge jurisdiction, but the reality is quietly changing. With the rise of Asian powers, especially the rapid development of the Chinese and Indian navies, the "hegemon" status of PACOM has begun to waver. The Chinese navy is constantly active, and the Indian navy is showing great force, giving the U.S. military the impression that PACOM's force projection is confined to the Pacific Ocean. Now, the "presence" of the US military has been forced to be redefined, and the Indo-Pacific Command was born to re-establish the position of the US military in the Indian Ocean.
The challenge of the naval forces of the great powers, the rise of the "rhetorical war" of the US military?
In the Indian Ocean, the rapid development of Chinese and Indian naval forces has left the US military somewhat helpless. India has announced the deployment of 50 ships** in the Indian Ocean, making its presence visible at all times. And the "footbath" of the US military in the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller and smaller, and every action needs too many announcements. The U.S. military may feel the loss of the Indian Ocean, and even the Pacific Ocean will be divided. At this challenging moment, is the renaming of the Pacific Command the "rhetorical warfare" of the US military a show of force, or the beginning of actual action?
The "rhetoric and tactics" of the US military show the scale of power, or show helplessness?
The U.S. military has long been one of the most powerful navies in the world, but the reality is changing. The rise of the great power naval forces has put pressure on the US military to no longer flex its muscles through a powerful fleet. Perhaps in the eyes of the U.S. military, the name change is just a superficial "war of words", but it also reflects the gradual weakening of the U.S. military's power in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
What's next? Is the renaming of PACOM a US military's response to the rise of Asia, or is it a reluctant compromise? This "war of words" may be just the prelude, and the changing global situation makes people look forward to the future.
