The head of the US General Staff demanded the renewal of the army due to the threat of conflict

The US military must use modernized strategies and weapons to win a global conflict if necessary. This was said by the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, to graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point, AP reports.

He noticed that the world is becoming more and more unstable, and the great powers are planning to change the global order. The degree of US dominance is rapidly declining, the country is being challenged in all areas of warfare in space, sea and air.

The US is no longer the undisputed world power, Milley said. In Europe, the United States is facing Russian aggression; in Asia, China 's booming economic and military growth, North Korea's nuclear and missile threats; and in the Middle East and Africa, "terrorist-driven instability," he explained.

The chief of the general staff called the potential war against “elusive enemies”, the conduct of hostilities in cities that require long-range precision weapons and new technologies, very difficult.

“The world you are entering has the potential to be a major international conflict between the great powers. And the probability of this event is increasing, not decreasing,” Milli told the cadets.

Therefore, the US military will have to change the way it thinks and fights in wars that will be different from the current ones, he said. They will have to fight robotic tanks, ships and planes, which will require skills in handling artificial intelligence, synthetic fuel production and 3D technologies, Milley added.

At the same time, the military commander placed on the future military the responsibility for maintaining peace, deterring and preventing wars between the great powers.

Against the backdrop of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in mid-April, US Chargé d'Affaires in Estonia Brian Roraff said that the United States does not rule out the deployment of troops in Europe on a permanent basis. He said that the number of American troops on the continent has grown from 80 to 120 thousand people, and the country does not rule out additional deployment to strengthen security. The current military contingent will rotate over the summer.
