The Repatriation of Assets: The administration enacts a massive withdrawal of U.S. troops from foreign soil. Dozens of overseas bases are scaled down or closed entirely, bringing hundreds of thousands of active-duty personnel, heavy armor divisions, and advanced aircraft back to the North American continent.
The Naval Consolidation: Citing a need to protect domestic supply chains, the U.S. Navy recalls several of its most advanced Carrier Strike Groups from the Pacific and the Mediterranean, stationing them permanently along the Eastern Seaboard, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Californian coast.
