Guam, where America’s next war may begin

Hindustan Times  

LIKE MANY of America’s bases in the Pacific, Guam mixes hedonism with war jitters. “Where America’s day begins”, as Guam likes to sell itself, is also where a future American war with China may begin. To survive within China’s “weapons engagement zone”, the American air force is developing “agile combat employment”. Unlike “Aegis ashore” systems in Poland and Romania, the version on Guam will have better radars, and many components will be “distributed”: movable on wheels to improve their chances of surviving attack. It may eventually include weapons to take out hypersonic missiles, which are hard to hit because they fly fast and manoeuvre, and “directed energy” systems All this raises questions.
