Germany refined and operationalized combined arms in a revolutionary way in early WWII, integrating it into what became knownโ€”externallyโ€”as Blitzkrieg. Otherwise, very good piece!

If you follow Military History Visualized long enough, you'll find a piece where he mentions the ONE instance he's ever found of a senior leader using the word "Blitzkrieg". So yes on their maneuver warfare, but the name thing bugs me. I'm aspie like that.

I would hazard to say that "the strike groups anchored at Coronado" would probably be sabotaged before setting sail, anyway ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ China isn't so foolish as to fight the war that America expects. This will be unlike anything in history in it's scope across all domains, and effect every node of mobilization and production imaginable.

If things get tense the already out of reach naval ships at Coronado get more so. China will be ready for the drone portion, their factories are humming building the kit for it. I don't imagine them penetrating a major base here in any more than a cursory "subvert a contractor" kinda way.

I imagine they have already penetrated every major base and installation, not to mention sub-contractors and suppliers. You might expect such shenanigans as the ship's water or food supplies being poisoned, fuel sabotage, etc., etc., and so on..at the minimum.
