March 29, 2021 Ryan Morgan
The U.S. military will hold highly classified war games this summer to study how the U.S. could respond to aggressive actions by China and Russia, CNN reported on Saturday.
CNN reported that while the enemy force in the war games scenario will be a fictional one, it will mimic possible avenues of attack by Russia or China. Multiple defense officials told CNN that the war games are a top priority for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, and that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will be briefed as the games play out.
The war games will cover a range of actions Russia or China could likely take in the future, ranging from Russia continuing to militarize the Arctic and China continuing to militarize the South China Sea, to major cyber attacks, to a Russian advance in the Baltics and a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The war games will reportedly play out as a fictional global crisis erupting on multiple fronts, with constantly changing scenarios and players competing for shared military resources like aircraft carriers and bombers.
