We will also work closely with our allies and partners in the region to incentivize and enable them to do more for our collective defense, especially in ways that are relevant to an effective denial defense. Through these efforts, we will make clear that any attempt at aggression against U.S. interests will fail and is therefore not worth attempting in the first place. That is the essence of deterrence by denial.<br \/>\nIn this manner, DoW will provide the military strength for President Trump\u2019s visionary and realistic diplomacy, thereby setting conditions for a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific that allows all of us\u2014the United States, China, and others in the region\u2014to enjoy a decent peace. At the same time, in the process of erecting a strong denial defense along the FIC, DoW will ensure that the Joint Force always has the ability to conduct devastating strikes and operations against targets anywhere in the world, including directly from the U.S. Homeland, thereby providing the President with second-to-none operational flexibility and agility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will build, posture, and sustain a strong denial defense along the FIC.
