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.

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.
