The Pentagon is initiating a program called FORTRESS to ensure major U.S. military bases can operate independently for 90 days without relying on the civilian power grid or supply chains. This initiative includes plans for on-site power generation, such as portable nuclear reactors and battery storage, as well as stockpiling essential resources like fuel, munitions, and medical supplies. Concurrently, the UK has launched a public campaign urging citizens to prepare for potential three-day disruptions to essential services by stockpiling food, water, and other necessities. While not officially coordinated, these efforts reflect a growing concern about national resilience against potential large-scale disruptions, possibly linked to threats like cyberattacks from groups such as Volt Typhoon.
