Amid rising tensions with China, the US military has sought to bolster its presence in Asia.

US forces there may see the "most transformative year" in a generation in 2023, a US official said.

Major changes to the US military presence in Asia face logistical and political hurdles, however.

The US military will have a "transformative" year in Asia in 2023, a top defense official said this month, continuing the Biden administration's efforts counter what US officials say is China's destabilizing influence on the region's security.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

When I see a term like "TRANSFORMATIVE YEAR" in connection with the military, it has to indicate they don't have any idea what the year will look like.  A 25 cent word in a 10 cent military vocabulary just doesn't look right. :nono:
