🇺🇸⚡️ — General Ronald Clark, the commander of the US Army in the Pacific, is seeking to showcase more advanced capabilities of the American armed forces in the Indo-Pacific region in order to strengthen deterrence against China and prevent war, the FT reports.

Clark said that the US must demonstrate a sufficient level of military power and readiness to “make the adversary think,” including by deploying Typhon missile systems capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6 missiles, as well as HIMARS rocket artillery.

Despite concerns about the Trump administration’s commitments in the region and China’s opposition to the deployment of American missiles, Clark said that military cooperation with allies continues to expand thanks to Operation Pathways exercises, which are conducted partly during periods of heightened risk. “Being the security partner of choice is key,” he said.

The US is also resuming military exercises with Cambodia in February after nearly a decade-long pause, while simultaneously expanding its presence in the Pacific through additional divisions, a corps headquarters, and specialized units focused on intelligence, cyber, electronic warfare, and psychological operations.
