Part 2/8:
The reactivation of Tinian is part of the Pentagon's broader strategy to counter an expanding Chinese military presence in the Pacific. As China's capabilities grow, especially with the development of long-range missile systems capable of striking American bases, the U.S. is adapting its military approach. The Pentagon has embraced a "Hub and Spoke" strategy, which involves dispersing military resources and assets across various smaller sites instead of concentrating them in a single location. This strategy aims to maintain operational capabilities while complicating enemy targeting processes.
