Proposed US Military buildup under a conservative U.S. Administration circa 2012-2024

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL ARTICLE

The following plan is based on a major US economic turnaround based on sound Free Market principles geared to US interests, energy independendece, a balanced budget, stabilization of Social Security & Medicare & eliminating unessary and wasteful entitlements & entire federal agencies. It is also based,under a conservative leadership in Washington, on adopting lower corporate and individual income taxes so the revenue to the treasury expands and increases significantly which will fuel the buildup necessary to remain technologically superior by two generations to any potential enemy on earth, and to be in a position to contain and defeat any outbreaks of agression on a minimum of two major theaters, and one minor theater simultaneously. Follow the links below to each specific area of this far reaching proposal.

[US FOREIGN POLICY] - [US NAVY] - [US AIR FORCE] - [US ARMY] - [US MARINES] - [US COAST GUARD] - [LINKS]

FORIEGN POLICY & NATIONAL SECUIRTY INITIATIVES 2014-2024: [BACK TO START]

No nuclear weapons for Iran by whatever means necessary as quickly as possible. Make officill US Policy the regime change in Iran with the express goal to a secular republican principled representative government in Iran, friendly to the US within five years. Offer whatever aide necessary to secular, republican based citizens in Iran to achieve this goal, including intelligence, reconnaisence, logistics, supplies, weapons, and special forces and air support as necessary.
Develop a land based AEGIS BMD capability using land installed 48 cell SM-3 VLS missile units to deploy, with security forces, to whichever European and Asian or other allies who desire them and are willing to pay for them and their security and upkeep, including Japan, Korea and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Urge the UK to build both of its new carriers in the CATOBAR configuration, assisting them finanacially if necessary so that F-18, F-35, E-2D and other aircraft crossdecking can occur.
Assist the Republic of China in building eight AIP SS vessels of their own to a similar design as the US NAvy will start building (see below).
Ensure that China is aware that the US Navy will enforce freedom of the seas and right of passage, right through the critical sea lanes in the China and South China Seas to our allies and will brook no bullying of Taiwan, the Philipines, South Korea, Japan or any other US ally in the region. On the other hand, ensure that the Chinese Navy (PLAN) and the PRC understand that we will cooperate with them on mutual interst against pirates, other rogue nations, and on humanitarian endeavors.
Upgrade and expand Guam's docking, repair, air field capacity, and self defense capabilities (its air defense, ballistic missile defense, and sea defenses). Forward deply a full squadron of F-22s, a full squardron of attack submarines and guided missiles destroyers and the necessary logistical assets to support them.
Become completely energy independent by 2020, and grow to be the largest next exporter of oil and energy in the world by 2025. Then inform the Middle Eastern (OPEC) and other nations who have held the US hostage to oil production whose governmental policies are an enigma to US policy that they can drink their own oil for tea and suppplant them as the oil provider to our allies for cheaper proces, and through more secure sea lane delivery.
Forge closer economic and military ties with India, assisting them to convert from older Soviet block equipment to newer western (US) technologies. Work with them on Free Trade economic initiatives with the idea of a future alliance with them, perhaps inviting them into ASEAN.
Ensure that Pakistan knows that its relationship with the US is dependent upon strengthening its civil liberties, secular republican principles, and engagement of the radcial islamics operating within its borders, helping the US achieve its goal of the elimination of Al Quida and Taliban influence there. Continuously update plans for taking down and neutralizing Pakistan's nuclear weapons should any fundamental islamic regime appear emminent.
Ensure that the Israeli government and people understand that the US policy is the protection of Israeli soveriegnty and defensible borders. That no peace with the Palestinians will be possible until the Palestinians completely repudiate Islamic terror and the destruction of Israel and until other Arabic nations (ie. Jordan, Egyt and Syria) agree to swap Gaza territories particularly for lands adjoining the West bank with their own and resettling Palestinians away from Gaza which would become soveriegn Israeli territory. In addition, Jeruselam would become the Israeli capital with the West Bank territories moved back at least 20 km away from Jerusalem.
Bring home regular US troops from foreign bases in nations that will not pay for their support and upkeep and where there is no over-riding strategic US interest in maintaining them there. For allied nations wanting our forces and willing to pay for their upkeep and stationing, and where there is a vested US interest, ensure that said basing is top notch for military and their families, and well secured with strong ROEs to ensure force and basing protection.
Station National Guard forces along the Southern US border to act in a over watch capacity, doing recon, intelligence, and, where necessary, direct interdiction of illegal aliens, and particularly drug trafficers in support of the US Border Patrol which will be strengthened, tooled up with pradator drones abd global hawk drones, and will have a double fence, with periodic observation posts and staging areas for equipment and personnel all along the border to close down illegal entry into this nation. Committ one or two divisions of troops to this activity.
Develop and build two US geosynchronous US Space stations that are joint NASA and US Military stations, with self-defense capabilities, and capable of BMD. Also capable of staging for inter-system missions to the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belts, and ultimately beyond to Saturn and Jupiter's moons. Target the completion of the 1st station by 2024 and the second by 2028. Target a permanent base on the Moon by 2028, and the first manned mission to mars by 2032.

US AIR FORCE - US ARMY - US MARINE CORPS - US COAST GUARD BUILDUP INITIATIVES

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL ARTICLE AND AIR FORCE, ARMY, MARINE COPRS, AND COPAST GUARD INITIATIVES

[Bigun]

Here are the real world, as opposed to pie in the sky dream world, FACTS!

We are going to swear in either Mitt Romney or Barack Hussein Obama on January 20th 2013.

That’s it! Nothing follows!

[MEG33]

How many ballots are you on?...How many votes so far, EV?
As I see it..come November I will have a choice of 4 more years of Obama or vote for the Republican nominee..
My candidates did not prevail and have all endorsed Romney.

I will be voting to oust Obama..easy choice for me.
I agree with Jeff. Romney will be more consservative with a more conservative Congress.
I’ve voted in every Presidential race since Eisenhower.
I still haven’t found a perfect candidate.
Obama is the most dangerous mistake our country has made when voting for President..
I love America..I want Obama and his administration GONE

[Jeff Head]

You are correct. It will be one or the other and that is the reason I have mnade the choice I have.

If Romney was running on vocal support for abortion or homsexual marriage, or more gun control...I could not vote for him. but none of those are what he is running on and committing to. Any one who has read the issues he has published with his campaign knows this.

If we get a solid House and Senate in, and if Romney wins, I expect we will see a lot of good things happen and the country will, in large, get back on track. Best thing that could happen given the circumstances we face on the ground. Some folks don't believe that...and that is fine, I expect most of those will be glad if it comes about because in the end, we all love the Republic and want it to turn back towards its constitutional and principled roots..

There are a few who hate Romney so much (and many of them becuase of thier dislike for his religion) who will be in denial even if he does well. Fortunately, I believe that number is a very small minoriy.

God's speed, Bigun, and BZ.

AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

[Jeff Head]

Amen to every bit of that, Meg.

We simply must remove the Kenyan Marxist from office.

[MEG33]

I pray the harm the Marxist and his enablers have done can be undone.
I have a Navy grandson and my husband was in the Navy in the early 50s. I leave the details of its needs to those of you more learned in the subject.
;o)
GO NAVY

[EternalVigilance]

One of the problems is that you won’t get a more conservative Congress out of the Romney Republican Party. You will get more Romney Republicans. Like begets like.

But, good luck. I too will do what I can to put principled patriots in all offices, just like I always have.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks Meg. My Dad was US Navy combat officer in WW II in the Pacific. He came home in 1946 after spending an additional year (he went out in 43) helping move JApanese civilians out of China.

He then stayed in the reserves for an additional 10-12 years until the late 50s, but worked for Vought Aeronautics on naval aircraft from 1948 through 2000. He passed in 2004.

I have a son-in-law who is career Navy. Was just accepted into an Officer Training Program where the will make him a pharmicist (he had been a fire control CPO). They’re paying for his schooling and he has a 10 year commitment when he is done.

I worked with several contractors doing work on Naval and other services systems in my career, mainly in the late 1970s into the 1990s. Have worked designing security systems and other electronic systems for Federal use the last ten years.

Thanks for your comments and I join you in praying we can remove Obama from office in our voting this November.

[Deb]

I try to reserve one day a week to not be depressed...you’re not helping.

[Deb]

Stop hi-jacking every thread with your pathetic presidential campaign. All you third party trolls have NO credibility criticizing Romney. NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU.

[wita]

A M E N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The faster the few noisy negatrons come to the same realization the faster we will get on with the program. FR is only beginning to recover from an extreme case of negative thinking on a host of subjects guaranteed to cast a cloud of doubt on even the most positive of thinkers. Listening (so to speak) to the continuing attempts at painting every single Republican Presidential candidate as something other than, BETTER BY A FACTOR OF BEYOND BELIEF, than the present occupant of the White House is in itself beyond belief.

[wita]

A M E N again.

[Jeff Head]

Well then, come back every day, click on the link to the main article here, and look at all the really positive stuff we can do as a nation when we get the Kenyan Marxist out of the White House.

Every bit of the technology and initiatives I outline here are doable...and we have an economy (as Reagan showed) when energized by proper free market and republican principle, that can easily afford to do them.

If we get the marxist out and get a free market leader in who knows how to energize the economy, then we can do every bit of this over the next 10-15 years...and a whole lot more on the economic, market, energy, manufacturing, etc. fronts that will be equally amazing.

And every bit of that is positive!

[Jeff Head]

If we can get the Kenyan Maxist out of the White House and away from the reigns of power along with his pack of cohorts, then we can see so much good happen.

Economically/financially, market wise, energy wise, maufacturing, agriculture, foreign policy, jobs, and including many of these national security and military initiatives.

We just have to make that happen (and I believe we can) and also bring in a heavily Tea Party oriented House and Senate majority.

BUMP for OUTSTANDING premise and TREMENDOUS details. Read it all!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks again, PGalt.

I have been updating and refining it a bit at my site.

Please feel free to spread it around far and wide.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

If I'm not mistaken, Jeff is currently in the hospital so perhaps we can back off the spelling judgements just a bit. Thanks

As usual, thought provoking and very informative Jeff.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks, TxGirlinPa. I have been out of the hospital for some time now. Done with rehab and now pretty much plateaud out at where I am going to be.

I did have my 6 months tests in the hospital here in Boise a few weeks ago (so far no new cancer!), and will be down in Houston at MD Anderson in September for about a week.

After that, it’s pretty much once a year checkups down there in Houston.

You can keep up with my Cancer situation here:

I appreciate your concern and words...I also appreciate respectful and considered critque on my articles, even the spelling. Based on some of the reasoned suggestions, I have fixed some of my typos and spelling and created a better article.

The ones that are over the top...well I try and ignore those...sort of like I onnce said, they are sort of like paying attention to a field mouse on an Elk Hunt.

God’s speed and blessings to you and yours.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks AuntB. He definitely will be missed, may he RIP.

He’s in a far better place now not having to worry over all these concerns...it is left to us to carry on.

God’s speed to you, and His blessings too!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

OH that is good news, I had misunderstood and thought you were at MD Anderson right now. Glad you are doing so well!

Keep up the good work Jeff - we enjoy your knowledge on this subject.
