Do "frontline deterrence"?Japanese media: The United States plans to deploy a new type of special forces in Asia to "curb China"

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] "Nikkei Asia" reported on the 27th that Flynn, commander of the US Pacific Army, said in an interview with the media reporter that the U.S. military is considering deployment of a special repatriation of an integrated missile, electronic warfare and cyber warfare capabilities in Asia The troops curb China in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. It is reported that the move has highlighted that the US military's focus in recent years is shifting from the Middle East to competition with China. Military expert Song Zhongping told reporters of the Global Times on the 28th that this special sentient force is an important part of the United States' implementation of the Pacific deterrence initiative. One of the focus of the initiative is that there must be more motor troops and decentralized deployment in deployment in the deployment in Different countries and regions to implement "frontline deterrence".

It is reported that the troops mentioned in Flynn are called the "Special Forces of Multiple Fields" and are composed of thousands of people. They are currently stationed in Washington and Germany. The troops were compiled into 4 teams, responsible for firepower, air defense, logistics and information warfare. During the peaceful period, the special forces will collect information to understand the opponent's behavior pattern and weaknesses, and prepare for emergencies. If the war occurs, the troops will destroy the opponent's communication network through electronic warfare and cyber warfare to block the enemy's command and control system. Using information obtained in advance, the troops can use missiles to attack enemy ships and facilities, and have the ability to implement multiple blows at the same time.

"Nikkei Asia" reported that the third special forces were originally expected to be stationed in Hawaii, but the final deployment may be located in Asia, and it is expected to be established after 2023. It is reported that the United States considers the deployment of this unit to Asia to approach China. At present, several missiles developed by the U.S. forces are thousands of kilometers, which cannot be shot from Hawai to China or surrounding waters. As the U.S. military plans to deploy land -based missiles on the first island chain, the opinions of the Pentagon include all -field special teams for this plan. They believe that the ground forces are relatively flexible to avoid the blow of Chinese missiles. As a cutting -edge force, the special team can be responsible for destroying China's air defense system and command control centers, thereby opening a gap for American ships and fighters near China.

Song Zhongping said on the 28th that if such troops were deployed around China, it would put some pressure on the PLA's maintenance and security, but this pressure was controllable. On the one hand, it takes time to build such a troops to obtain the consent of the country or region; on the other hand, although the United States has always emphasized that it is necessary to distinguish the military power, the deployment of the remote firepower in China in China will be deployed in China Inside.

"Nikkei Asia" also mentioned in the report that one of the major issues faced by the above plans in the United States is whether Asian countries will agree to accept the residence of the U.S. forces because it is likely to become the target of the Chinese army during the war.

Song Zhongping believes that the deployment of this unit will trigger the opposition from the people of Asian countries. "Due to the decline in global leadership in the United States, the United States and African allies have recognized that the United States cannot protect itself, but it may bring greater trouble to itself."
