It is noted that the FORTRESS program, developed at the initiative of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, provides for connecting U.S. military bases to independent power sources, supplying them with reserves of fuel, water, and ammunition, as well as equipping civilian factories with all the necessary equipment for an emergency transition to military production.
These measures are intended specifically for a potential large-scale conflict that would disrupt the operation of power grids and supply chains worldwide
It is indicated that the program also provides for the possibility of redirecting civilian enterprises toward the production of military goods.
"The next conflict will likely be fought on several fronts. When that happens, global supply chains will collapse," said Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

At the beginning of October Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said that some U.S. military forces and capabilities currently stationed in Europe could be redeployed to the Western Hemisphere.
