“In Australia, you'll see new rotational fighter and bomber aircraft deployments. You'll see Ground Forces Training and increased logistics cooperation,” said Dr. Mara Karlin, the acting Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy.
“And actually, more broadly, across the Indo-Pacific, you'll see a range of infrastructure improvements in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Australia. Those will include things more broadly like logistics facilities, fuel storage, munitions storage, airfield upgrades. So, we're doing a lot that will hopefully come to fruition in the coming years,” Karlin said.
“Looking ahead, the Global Posture Review directs the Department to conduct additional analysis on enduring posture requirements in the Middle East,” she also informed reporters.
