What happened
The Pentagon is implementing a strategy called FORTRESS America, requiring major military facilities in the continental United States to be fully operational without outside support for 90 days. This initiative mandates that bases be self-sustaining regarding resources like water, electricity, fuel, and communications. A new study noted that Missouri is ranked #34 in the country for power grid vulnerability, while Texas is in a more dangerous position.

Why it matters
The strategy aims to ensure military installations can function even if civilian infrastructure is disabled during a war. Officials state that relying on standard civilian infrastructure is an "intolerable risk." This shift toward independent power structures suggests a major change in defense logistics and energy requirements.
The initiative relates to the Pentagon's role in overseeing military defense operations within North America.
