A few years ago, the Army issued a strategy to adjust its preset reserves, modernizing its combat fleet and adjusting its configuration. From a historical point of view, the main role of the Army's preset reserves is to allow soldiers to quickly obtain the materials needed in regional conflicts and respond quickly. But the Army has realized that they need to consider another dimension: competition between great powers.
Daly mentioned that competition between major powers means that the Army will use more preset reserves, and it must also consider whether it needs to change the location of the reserve and the composition of the theater reserve. He did not mention specific details, after all, the preset reserves are classified. He mentioned that the Army is also conducting budget planning to ensure that the budget can ensure that the reserve can meet competition during the next five-year budget period (2023 to 2027).
He mentioned that in Europe, "the army needs to add something. The Second Armored Brigade Combat Team is an example. There are also actions in Powiz, Poland." The Army rebuilt the Fifth Army earlier this year and will be stationed in Poznan, Poland, just a half-hour drive from Powiz. The Fifth Army will be responsible for the command and control of the "Atlantic Resolution" round of garrison troops and associated troops.
The "European Defense" exercise that was originally scheduled to be fully launched in 2020 was carried out to verify the European Army's preset reserves, but due to the new crown epidemic, the exercise has shrunk significantly. As for the Pacific region, the Army is developing a strategy to improve relations with countries so that it can deploy pre-built reserves in the theater of operations. It will no longer be concentrated on the Korean Peninsula and Japan as before. In addition to the preset reserves on the island, the Army may also adjust its APS-3 reserves. It is a large maritime warehouse including military equipment.
