## Summary

The Pentagon is preparing major US military bases to operate independently for at least 90 days if war or another crisis disrupts civilian infrastructure and supply chains. The effort, called FORTRESS, reflects concern that a conflict could affect the US homeland and interrupt the power, water, communications and manufacturing on which military operations depend.

Plans include microgrids, battery storage and portable nuclear reactors to keep bases supplied with electricity, alongside reserves of fuel, munitions, critical minerals, electronics, spare parts and medical supplies. FORTRESS would also seek at least two qualified supply or production routes for critical defence needs and prepare civilian factories to switch to military production; reserve levels would depend on consumption rates and how quickly supplies could be replaced.
