over the last several years we have really focused our efforts on readiness
for any contingency needed I'm really proud to be a part of the US Army
Pacific team it's the Army's largest service component command
it's a vast area of the Pacific. 16 time zones with 36 countries and 24 of
36 mega cities in the world are growing in the Pacific it's also interesting
seven of the ten largest armies in the world are in the Pacific
it is a vast region there is the we call it the tyranny of distance and it hasn't
changed that much when you look sometimes you think modern technology
can shrink that tyranny of distance but actually if you look at a ship in World
War II it maybe took 28 to 30 days to sail from the west coast. It takes 26 to 28
today so a couple days earlier still a long ways to go we know now aircraft can
get places quicker but we don't have as many of them so there are challenges so
it's a it's a vast region the other interesting fact in the Pacific we have
seven alliances in the world as a nation United States five of the seven are in
the Pacific. Alliance with Korea, Japan, Philippines,
Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, those alliances are key five of the
seven in the Pacific and obviously you're going to do the most with your
alliance partners and if for example if you look in my 30-plus years dealing
with the forces in Korea I've never seen us closer it's just an ironclad relationship
in the past we've had the luxury of maybe six eight months to
build up forces it's not gonna be that way in the future and they have to be
ready to fight tonight what we have and ready to go I feel very confident right
now as I said, pray for peace I hope we don't have but if we're needed I could
look those parents in the eye and we have really focused readiness that folks
are trained and ready for whatever contingency is required.
on the peninsula we've shifted over the years and that probably about the six years ago the
U.S. was totally in the lead on the peninsula and ROK Army forces would
follow and ROK military well it shifted the ROKs are in the lead and they have
a tremendous army, tremendous military that combined effort is a huge advantage
you know we're better together but when you have folks are working together
daily and then a crisis occurs guess what it's they know what to do you don't
have to form a relationship in the crisis it's too late so but well before
the crisis you're working together in a daily basis as a combined division
that's going to lead to victory should somebody be stupid enough to
challenge us.
