Pacific Commander Davidson Asks Congress to Fund ‘Regain the Advantage’ Plan Aimed at China

The head of U.S. forces in the Pacific has asked Congress to support several new initiatives to increase American military power in the region beyond what has been set aside in the Fiscal Year 2020 budget request, according to a March 22 letter obtained by USNI News.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command commander Adm. Phil Davidson asked for support for new capabilities that include adding destroyers to the theater with AN/SPY-6 radars, expanding the Army’s Multi-Domain Task Force, create a new ballistic missile defense installation on Guam and infrastructure improvements to improve training in Hawaii, Alaska and Guam.
“The requests laid out in this letter set the conditions to ‘Regain the Advantage’ by providing a pragmatic and viable approach that shapes the security environment, reassures allies and partners, and dissuades potential adversaries from unilaterally attempting to change the international rules-based order,†Davidson wrote.
