“We’re going to be clearing out the jungle [and] we’re going to be resurfacing some of the surfaces there so that we will have a fairly large and very functional Agile Combat Employment [ACE] base, an additional base to be able to operate from and we have several other projects like that around the region that we’ll be getting after,” - Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach.

"US Air Force Clearing Out Jungles in Pacific for New Airfields"

"The US Air Force is increasing its number of bases in the Pacific to prepare for a future war with China"

From https://news.antiwar.com | by Dave DeCamp | September 13, 2023.

"The head of US Pacific Air Forces said Monday that the Air Force was clearing out jungles in the Pacific to build new airfields and restore old ones as part of the branch’s preparation for war with China in the region."

YES indeed. Restoration and improvement for existing airfields. Construction of new air fields. One, two, three, many.

"The Air Force is working to expand its bases as part of a plan to become more mobile in the Pacific, a concept known as Agile Combat Employment (ACE). Pacific Air Forces Commander Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach said the Air Force is looking for more money to facilitate the military buildup."
