PROJECT 2025 – #15 – July 18, 2024
SPECIAL NOTE: The blog is now more streamlined and condensed
DISCLAIMER: This blog was created as a public service. It is a Cliff’s Notes version of the actual 900 pages of text found in PROJECT 2025. It is not a commentary. Most importantly - It DOES NOT reflect my opinion in any way.
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE – Part 3
US Space Force
The U.S. Space Force (USSF) was established to assure continuous global and theater combat support from space, to deter attacks against U.S. space assets, and to prevail in space should deterrence fail. Reestablish offensive capabilities. Expand to provide early warning of attacks. Declare that US will operate in space. Explore a Space Force Academy.
US Cyber Command
Conduct offensive operations at tactical/strategic levels. End USCYBERCOM’s participation in federal efforts to “fortify” U.S. elections to eliminate the perception that DOD is engaging in partisan politics. Use cyber/ EW in retaliation for foreign cyberattacks and/or EW actions against U.S. infrastructure and citizens.
Special Operations Forces
America’s war in Afghanistan was a failure but Special Forces were effective in Counterterrorism. Irregular warfare should be proactive by redefining it as critical.
Nuclear Deterrence
Replace all parts of nuclear triad over next decade. Deploy sea-launched nuclear missiles over next decade. Accelerate production of plutonium. Restore readiness to test nuclear weapons in Nevada.
Missile Defense
Reject claims made by the Left that missile defense is destabilizing while acknowledging that Russia and China are developing their own advanced missile defense systems. Strengthen Homeland ballistic missile defense. As the Ukraine conflict amply demonstrates, U.S. regional missile defense capabilities are very limited. The United States has been unable to supply our partners reliably with any capabilities, and the number and types of regional missile defense platforms are less than the U.S. needs for its own defense. Invest in future advanced missile defense technologies like directed energy or space-based missile defense that could defend against more numerous missile threats.

[HISTORICAL NOTE – 5 January 2021 “(Miller) issued orders which prohibited deploying DC National Guard members with weapons, helmets, body armor or riot control agents without his personal approval…after rioters breached the Capitol Police perimeter, Miller waited more than three hours before authorizing the deployment of the National Guard.”]
