Pentagon preparing for possible doomsday scenarios

Military bases could keep their lights on while the transport networks supplying them remain vulnerable. That gap is a central detail in Jennifer Griffin's report on Fortress, the Pentagon's plan for operating through a major attack on power grids and supply chains.

The America Reports segment, posted by FOX 11 Los Angeles, has drawn more than 160,000 views in its opening 11 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for a Short.

Griffin describes preparations for bases to hold enough power, weapons and fuel for 90 days. The report also outlines factory conversions for wartime production and plans to relocate leadership to Cheyenne Mountain.

Retired Navy Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery explains the practical change: instead of relying on deliveries arriving just when supplies are needed, the military would have to buy and store much more on its bases in advance.

But stockpiling inside the gates does not cover everything outside them. Griffin's report identifies ports and rail networks as vulnerabilities beyond the Fortress program, a significant limit to what base-level preparations can accomplish. She says extending the plan across major bases in the continental United States will cost billions and take years.
