Chapter 1134： Army of Alaska
The two world wars did not affect the United States. After the war, with the Cold War confrontation with the Soviet Union, the military strength of the United States has always been one of the most powerful in the world.
But now, with the fiasco of the wars, the strength of the U.S. military is not as good as before. Whether it is the air force, the navy, or the army, it is impossible to gain an advantage in front of the Soviets. Moreover, in terms of numbers, the U.S. military is also The U.S. military has to be deployed globally, so there are not many U.S. troops in the continental United States, and even fewer in Alaska.
In Alaska now, there are only two division-level units, the 25th Infantry Division and the 94th Mechanized Infantry Division, with a total strength of less than 40,000.
This is also because now is the height of the Cold War.
However, it would be extremely wrong to think that Alaska has so much defensive power.
Among the armed forces of the United States, in addition to the regular army, there is also the National Guard!
Some people will simply use an analogy to say that the National Guard of the United States is the same as our armed police, but it is actually completely different. The National Guard of the United States is equipped with m1a1 main battle tanks and f-15 fighter jets. It can be said that what the army has, what their weapons and equipment have, it is almost the same force!
In fact, it should be understood in this way that the National Guard is the local militia force of the United States and the reserve force of the United States military.
At the beginning, the gunshots of Cressington started the American War of Independence, drove out the colonists, and officially established the United States. During this process, the militia has always fought heroically.
After the war, there was also a heated discussion about the militia. Is this kind of establishment necessary?
After that, Washington determined that the United States needs to quickly build a national conventional army, and at the same time, carry out a thorough reform of the militia system!
All states in the United States retain militias, and the governor serves as the commander of the state's militia. Generally, it is not under the jurisdiction of the president. Only when it is necessary to implement federal laws and in the event of rebellion and foreign invasion, the federal government has the right to recruit the militia of each state. The president has the right to mobilize the militia provisional jurisdiction. That is, militias can be quickly and effectively expanded into regular troops.
In fact, sometimes, when the regular army in the United States is reduced, it directly becomes the National Guard.
This represents democracy in the United States, and each state has its own force! At the same time, these two forces usually do not interfere with each other, the US military is external, and the National Guard is internal! Otherwise, it is a violation of the constitution.
The National Guard listens to the governor, and the military listens to the president. It seems very democratic. In fact, it is often dirty. In later generations, when Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. government wanted to dispatch the military to help disaster relief, but the state of Louisiana The governor of the government disagreed, that is, he would not let the troops of the federal government come over. As a result, Bush Jr. became angry and fought against the constitution, deployed the army in New Orleans to strengthen disaster relief efforts, and forcibly took over the law enforcement power of the Louisiana National Guard.
And now, in Alaska, in the face of the aggressive attitude of the Soviets, the state National Guard has also been urgently mobilized. After emergency mobilization, a total of 8,000 National Guard troops were mobilized, and they were deployed to the long western coastline of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
At the same time, in Alaska, the US military headquarters in Alaska, a discussion is also ongoing.
Lieutenant General Dana Atkins, commander of the garrison, smoking a cigarette pot, listening to the analysis of his subordinates.
"If the Soviets wanted to attack, they would have to occupy the Aleutians first and then our Dutch Harbor," said one of the staff officers.
Aleutian Islands! This archipelago seems to be a long arm stretched out from Alaska, between the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, extending westward from the Alaska Peninsula to the Kamchatka Peninsula, and looks like an arc in shape.
The entire archipelago, consisting of more than 300 tiny volcanic islands, is 1,900 kilometers long and has a total area of 17,666 square kilometers.
Part of this archipelago belongs to the Soviet Union and most to the United States. During the Cold War, this place was also an absolute frontier. Throughout the Aleutian Islands, the United States deployed 2,000 officers and soldiers to wait on various islands.
During World War II, the island nation once attacked the Aleutian Islands, won several islands, used these islands as a springboard, and then attacked Alaska.
"No, it should not." Another staff officer said: "If there is no large-scale troop-carrying capability, the Soviets will definitely use the Aleutian Islands as a springboard, but now, the Soviets have ground-effect aircraft, we have observed However, they can deliver division-level military power at one time just like in South Africa, so the Soviets will never argue over these islands, but will directly land in our Alaska! "
What is the use of occupying these small islands, direct landing is the most suitable plan!
"I think the Soviets are bluffing. If it's winter, it's not bad to go through the Bering Strait. Now, they don't need it. Even if the war is fought, it will only be done in winter." Another staff officer said.
Until now, the army of Alaska has not even a complete defense! You can't blame them either, because their eyes and ears are blocked!
The US reconnaissance satellites in outer space are almost equal to 0! The United States lacks effective means of reconnaissance and does not know the mobilization of the Soviet Union. How can the United States analyze the combat plan that the Soviets will adopt?
If you lose space, you lose victory!
Now, they can't even analyze whether the Soviets will fight or where they will fight, and they can't come up with a plan to deal with it.
"General, general!" At this moment, finally, a staff officer hurried in with a document: "Our maritime patrol plane found the Soviet aircraft carrier formation and is advancing towards our Gulf of Alaska. !"
Since there are no reconnaissance satellites, they can only fly a large number of maritime patrol planes to search for possible maritime threats. Now, they finally have a harvest and discovered the movement of the Soviet Navy!
South, it's actually the South! Looking at the sand table that he had watched countless times, Lieutenant General Dana put down his cigarette pot: "The Soviets must want to land from our south, we must mobilize our troops to the south! Step up! Our southern defense! Especially the flatter areas and the shore!"
But now, with the fiasco of the wars, the strength of the U.S. military is not as good as before. Whether it is the air force, the navy, or the army, it is impossible to gain an advantage in front of the Soviets.
