🔥 Marines Plan to Retool to Meet China Threat
美國海軍陸戰隊計劃轉型,應對中國威脅
- retool 重新整備
- meet the threat (of…) 應對…的威脅
⚓️ The Marine Corps is undertaking its most sweeping transformation in decades, pivoting from a focus on fighting insurgents in the Middle East to developing the ability to hop from island to island in the western Pacific to bottle up the Chinese fleet.
為了遏制中國艦隊,美國海軍陸戰隊正在進行數十年來最徹底的轉型,從打擊中東地區的叛亂分子轉向發展在西太平洋的跳島作戰能力。
- the Marine Corps 美國海軍陸戰隊
- undertake (開始)做、從事
- pivot 轉動;扭曲
- insurgent 叛亂者、造反者、暴動者
- bottle up 抑制
- fleet 船隊;(一國的)全部艦隊、海軍
🚀 Gen. Berger’s answer was to reconfigure the Corps to focus on a China threat. The Marines would fight within reach of Chinese missiles, planes and naval forces to blunt any aggression. While other services might lob missiles from long range, the Marines, in military parlance, would operate inside “the weapons engagement zone.”
伯格上將的策略是重整海軍陸戰隊,將重點放在應對中國的威脅上,海軍陸戰隊將在中國的飛彈、飛機和海軍可攻擊到的範圍內作戰,以抵擋任何形式的進攻。雖然其他軍種可能會從遠程發射飛彈,但海軍陸戰隊按照軍事術語所說的,將在「武器交戰區」的範圍內展開行動。
- Gen. 將軍、上將 (general的縮寫)
- reconfigure 重新配置
- blunt 削弱、使遲鈍
- parlance 說法,用語
- the weapons engagement zone (WEZ) 武器交戰區
🛩 To carry out the strategy, the Marines would deploy new missile batteries, armed drone units and amphibious ships. A major push is being made to ease the logistical burden, such as exploring the use of 3-D printing on the battlefield to make spare parts. The strategy requires deeper integration with the Navy, and Marine teams might perform other missions like refueling submarines or sub-hunting planes. While most of the effort to transform the Corps is focused on the Pacific, the Marines would retain other forces to respond to crises world-wide, including floating 2,200-strong Marine expeditionary units
為了實施這個戰略,海軍陸戰隊將部署新的飛彈部隊、無人機部隊和兩棲艦艇,有關部門正努力減輕後勤負擔,比如研討在戰場上使用3D列印技術製造備用零件。這種戰略需要與海軍進行更深入的整合,海軍陸戰隊小隊可能會執行其他任務,比如為潛艇或反潛機加油。雖然改造海軍陸戰隊的重心主要針對太平洋地區,但海軍陸戰隊仍會保留其他部隊以應對世界各地的危機,包括配備2200人以上的海上遠征部隊。
- carry out 執行,貫徹
- amphibious 水陸兩棲的
- navy 海軍
- logistical 物流的,(軍事)後勤的
- sub-hunting plane 反潛機
- expeditionary 遠征軍/分隊
- units 單位/小隊
未完待續...
不只海軍,美國空軍和陸軍也都有了新的調整計劃

(以下資料摘錄 CSIS Missile Threat
https://missilethreat.csis.org/country/taiwan)
Taiwan’s missile program makes up a substantial element of its deterrence posture against the People’s Republic of China (PRC), its primary security concern. Historically, Taiwan has limited the composition of its missile forces to mostly defensive assets, such as antiship cruise missiles and short-range ballistic missiles. Taiwanese leaders have generally considered this approach an effective means to deter threats to Taiwanese sovereignty while minimizing tensions with the PRC. It has also allowed Taiwan to maintain U.S. defense support even after the United States officially shifted its diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.
In more recent years, however, Taiwan has begun developing and deploying missile systems better suited for strike missions, including longer-range, land-attack cruise missiles. Taiwan has pursued these programs discreetly to avoid raising concern in the United States or the People’s Republic.
As most countries do not maintain official diplomatic relations with Taiwan, it has sometimes been challenging for Taiwan to acquire more advanced weapon systems from the international market. Consequently, the island-nation has often opted to domestically develop newer missile technology, which has spawned a robust Taiwanese defense industry.
臺灣導彈計劃是其對中華人民共和國的威懾態勢的重要組成部分,這是其主要的安全問題。從歷史上看,臺灣將其導彈部隊的構成局限於大多數防禦性資產,例如反艦巡航導彈和短程彈道導彈。臺灣領導人普遍認為這種方法是阻止臺灣主權威脅的有效手段,同時盡量減少與中國的緊張關係。即使在1979年美國正式將其外交承認從臺北轉移到北京之後,它也允許臺灣維持美國的國防支持。
然而,近年來,臺灣已經開始開發和部署更適合於打擊任務的導彈系統,包括更遠程的陸地攻擊巡航導彈。臺灣謹慎地推行這些計劃,以避免引起美國或中華人民共和國的關注。
由於大多數國家都沒有與臺灣保持官方外交關係,臺灣從國際市場上獲取更先進的武器系統有時也是一個挑戰。因此,該島國經常選擇在國內開發更新的導彈技術,這種技術催生了強大的臺灣國防工業。

[HOW WOULD YOU TAKE DOWN NORTH KOREA? (THE 7 CHOICES)]
If you were put in charge of one mission - to take down the North Korean regime - a mission that had previously left world leaders beaten and befuddled, where failure could result in changes to the political and physical landscape for generations to come….what would you do?
And time is of the essence here, as the longer you wait, the likelier it is for Dear Leader to complete development of nukes capable of reaching the continental US, or perhaps anywhere else in the world. Actually, according to some reports, it might already be too late!
But whether North Korea actually fires is another question altogether. If we are to rid the world of this nefarious regime - I’m talking the regime not the people - we have to consider the options. In this video, I’ll go over the seven way to take down North Korea - including the most destructive, the most convenient, the most secretive, and the most unexpected.
