[Quintus Fabius]

Das USMC übt den Krieg im Pazifik, aber diese Fähigkeiten wären natürlich auch sonst in jedem größeren konventionellen Krieg wesentlich, insbesondere wenn dieser nuklear eskaliert.

F-35 landen und starten von schmalen Straßen aus; auch die Versorgung wurde dorthin verlegt:

The test event known as ‘Obsidian Iceberg’ has been covered by The War Zone in the past, but this most recent iteration covered two days and brought in nine squadrons and other units from the Marines, Air Force, and Navy to execute a unique set of trials and training events that will have a huge impact on the future of the USMC’s flying forces.

Obsidian Iceberg 23.1 had a focus on supporting F-35 Deep Air Support missions with rearmament and refueling. For deep air support, the new weapons system that VMX-1 has been testing is the GBU-53 Bravo known as the Small Diameter Bomb II (GBU-53B). With the GBU-53B, Marine F-35Bs can carry eight of them internally, maintaining their low observable signature.
