The U.S. Army Secretary has revealed plans to deploy a midrange missile system to Japan for joint military exercises, a move likely to provoke China. Christine Wormuth discussed the deployment of the Army’s Multi-Domain Task Force, which includes the Typhon missile system, during her recent visit to Japan.
Speaking at the Defense News Conference, Wormuth expressed interest in having the Multi-Domain Task Force operate out of Japan as part of exercises. This development comes as the U.S. seeks to strengthen its military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
The potential deployment of the missile system underscores growing concerns over China’s military activities in the region. By collaborating with Japan on joint exercises, the U.S. aims to enhance regional security and deter potential threats.
The move signals a commitment to bolstering defense capabilities and reinforcing alliances in the face of geopolitical challenges. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving military strategy.
