US Forces Face Operational Strain Amid Escalating Air Defense Shortages
PILLAR DIAGNOSTIC // WEEK 10
“Elevated risk posture: The apparent disconnect between assertions of full readiness and emerging shortages in critical air‐defense munitions indicates US forces are likely to encounter operational strain. Without timely resupply and pacing adjustments, the campaign may stall or force a premature de‐escalation, undermining broader objectives of compelling Iranian surrender.”
Proposed action
Initiate immediate emergency resupply of air‐defense munitions through allied stockpiles and expedited domestic production. Recalibrate operational tempo to align with sustainment capacity, avoid overstretch, and publicly moderate demands for unconditional Iranian surrender to preserve credibility and maintain pressure within logistical constraints.
