Indo-Pacific, Especially Taiwan, Has Challenges for US

China’s growing aggression is forcing the U.S. to think more seriously about deterrence and competition in the Indo-Pacific region, a panel of experts said during a webinar hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army.
The U.S. faces “unprecedented challenges” to its interests, particularly from China and Russia, said retired Gen. Robert Brown, AUSA executive vice president and a former commander of U.S. Army Pacific, who moderated the June 23 Thought Leaders discussion.
In addition to the Army’s traditional roles, including deterrence on the Korean peninsula, the service must develop new ways to deter and fight and win if needed, Brown said.
Retired Navy Adm. Scott Swift, former commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, said the U.S. needs a “whole-of-government” approach to deter and compete with China, and the U.S. military must maintain a “mobility and expeditionary mindset.”
