A report on the US Army's annual Military Strength Index, prepared by the Heritage Foundation, identifies the US military as "weak". The 578-page report measures the U.S. army's ability to win two "major regional conflicts". It was concluded that "in general, the US military position can only be assessed as 'weak', and under threat may not be able to respond to threats to the country's national interests.
According to Heritage The Air Force is "very weak", the Navy is "weak", and the army is "marginal". The Marine Corps and Nuclear forces were rated as "strong".
"The Marine Corps is a single military force and, therefore, its overall strength is not sufficient to compensate for the shortcomings of other colleagues," the report said. And if the US must use nuclear weapons, escalating to a nuclear conflict seems to mean that coping with such a crisis will be a challenge even for a fully prepared military force with its current size and equipped with modern weapons.
Heritage, says the threats stemming from China, Russia and North Korea, make "a requirement for two wars or two emergencies" necessary.
"The 2023 Index," concludes that U.S. military forces are currently at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a large regional conflict, while engaging in a variety of activities, presence, and commitment," the report says. "The forces probably won't be able to do more and were certainly ill-prepared to deal with two almost simultaneous military conflicts, a situation that is hampered by the generally weak state of key military allies.“
