has less than 60 days left before the "nine-in-one" election of Taiwan . The DPP and the KMT are fighting in full swing to win votes, attacking each other with verbal battles. Recently, many KMT veterans participated in the 60-day oath-taking meeting. Ma Ying-jeou pointed out that "Taiwan has become the most dangerous area, and only if the KMT wins can change." It is obvious that Ma Ying-jeou's implication is that what the DPP does has pushed the cross-strait situation to the brink of war.
From another perspective, with the help of the Democratic Progressive Party led by Tsai Ing-wen, the United States actually attaches great importance to the situation in the Taiwan Strait. When the US military continues to simulate the PLA's military's strategy and tactics should be adopted. In the view of US military experts, the reason why the PLA has not immediately attacked and recaptured Taiwan by force is mainly because there are not enough transport ships. It points out that the Chinese Navy has made long-term progress on the aircraft carrier , the main driving force, and amphibious assault ships, but there are not enough transport ships to land on the natural barrier of Taiwan.
So in its opinion, the top priority of the US military is how to crack the PLA air defense system , that is, the ability to deny regionally. Under such strategic considerations, the recent US military aid to Taiwan's special combat forces aimed at the PLA's ability to deny the area of the anti-missile system.
According to foreign media reports, on September 23, the third task force of the US Army, referred to as MDTF, was officially unveiled at the Hawaii Naval Base in the United States. Its main energy supply is to conduct assaults on the side. This army is not a simple special forces, but has the capabilities of missile , electronics and network combat, and can respond to battlefield situations from many aspects. It is the second strategic choice under the wartime conditions of the United States.
It is worth noting that this US task force will not be included in the plan in mainstream media forecasts until at least 2023. However, such a quick process of implementing the proposal shows that the United States is afraid of China, especially the overall strength demonstrated by the People's Liberation Army in the Taiwan Navy, and the launch of the Sino-Russian joint military exercises, have made the United States feel a lot of pressure, so the task force is formed into an army in advance. The intention of deploying in Hawaii is not to deal with China, especially to deal with the situation in the Taiwan Strait in the future. The US military generally believes that mainland China will accelerate the pace of realizing the reunification of the motherland.
The United States has two task forces, one stationed in Germany and the other stationed in the United States. In Germany, it mainly deals with the situation in Europe and the Middle East and , and in the United States, it is mainly based in North America. In other words, the United States' second strategic choice has been deployed globally.
So in the face of large-scale multi-army heavy weapon operations, what are the advantages of such a task force? The key is flexibility. The United States is already preparing for possible wars in the future. The deployment of land-based missiles in Japan, South Korea, and Philippine is actually just the initial part of the first island chain strategy. It is actually equivalent to being exposed to others on the surface, because under wartime conditions, these must be dealt with first.
The reason is very simple. China's Dongfeng series missiles are not vegetarians. It is impossible for the United States to achieve all-round strikes. The task force is the US second anti-submarine setup. Because the task force is relatively scattered, with small targets and flexible combat, the missile cannot exert its effectiveness at all. What the United States wants to imitate is "ant fights elephants", using the task force to open a gap, destroy our army's guideway device, and achieve the purpose of attacking the PLA regional denial at the minimum cost.
And this task force may also destroy the strategic command system and cause the command center to be destroyed, thus allowing the US military's aircraft carrier combat group and long-range bombers to conduct propulsion operations. The United States has configured four combat formations for MDTF, including forward firepower, air defense early warning, logistics support, electronic information network operations, intelligence transmission and fire strikes. What is more noteworthy is that missiles can be used to destroy all strategic targets.
In other words, this US task force is an upgraded version of the special forces. When the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense in the future, this force is not large in number, but its destructive power is not small. Therefore, in our future strategic goals, we need to deal with such a small combat force. We can use the same way to cure the person, and also establish such a force, and also strengthen regional denial capabilities!
