The Pentagon has implemented the FORTRESS initiative, requiring all major U.S. military bases to maintain operations for 90 days without relying on civilian power or supply chains, according to Fox News. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure military readiness in the event of a global conflict. The initiative mandates self-sufficiency in energy, food, and other essential supplies. The plan aims to fortify the U.S. military's resilience against potential disruptions in civilian infrastructure.

Impact Defence contractors and suppliers may see increased demand for products and services supporting military self-sufficiency.
