A Marine general has a blunt warning for the U.S. as it faces new threats from near-peer enemies: The military is not currently set up to take them on and win.
"If you acknowledge that we are, in fact, in a great power competition and you take a look at our competitors, our competitors are well-organized and we are not," Maj. Gen. John Jansen, commandant of the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, said Tuesday.
Jansen, who's been tapped to receive his third star and serve in the Marine Corps' top budget job, warned specifically about China during a National Defense Industrial Association event.
China, he said, has taken the "best of capitalism and some of the bounties it brings and harnessed it and is making it work for them."
That's all while continuing to maintain an authoritarian -- and sometimes ruthless -- control over its people, he added.
The U.S., on the other hand, is not doing so well, Jansen said. There's been a breakdown between industry and the American common defense, he added.
To rebuild that divide, the Eisenhower School -- which trains military officers and industry fellows on national security and resource strategy -- recently brought together more than 100 experts and moderators to come up with a solution. Jansen will present their findings to top military leaders in September, including Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Joseph Dunford.
"We just need to decide this as a nation," Jansen said, "which is, 'Are we going to organize or are we not?' Our most senior leaders need to make that decision. Are we going to come together and figure out how to compete? Because what we're doing now is incoherent."
He credited the National Defense Strategy, released in January, with helping to provide a framework for taking on sophisticated adversaries. The strategy not only mentions threats the U.S. faces from China, but also Iran, Russia and North Korea.
Weapons capabilities are changing faster than ever. The U.S. could find itself in the midst of a high-end conflict very quickly, Jansen said, after nearly two decades of focusing on counterinsurgency operations in the Middle East.
That's left the U.S. "15 years behind the problem," he said. Technology has changed rapidly in that time, as troops took on terror groups in places like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
Jansen compared it to the period between 1936 and 1940 when little was done to prepare for fighting in World War II. It wasn't until 1940 when the Battle of Dunkirk inspired change, prompting the defense industry to build up new military capabilities.
"We have so much work to do to figure out what the force of the future looks like," he said. "... And that could take 10 to 12 years and billions or trillions of dollars to reorient that force."

Lieutenant general: the US Army is not ready to fight with China.
2018-07-21 07:11:08 category:Hot click:221
Eisenhower, commander of the US national security and resource strategy school, John Jansen, US Marine Corps (Maj). Gen. JohnJansen) made this very serious warning. He said that at present, the US Army is unable to guarantee victory in terms of its structure or preparations.
John Jansen
If you think we are in a fierce international competition and look at our competitors, you will find that these rivals are well organized, he said, according to a media reporter this week. In an interview, he warned us that the US Army has not done the preparatory work well, compared with the Chinese army. General Yang Sen said: (China) has learned some of the key advantages of western capitalism and has improved its development so that these advantages are conducive to the development of (China). He said China had better control over its own development, especially the development of its military strength, while the United States did not. He believes that the development of the US military strength is not very good, and there is a broken relationship between the military industry and the conventional forces in the United States.
Nighttime training to launch mortars
General Yang Sen is not an ordinary soldier. He will soon be promoted to the top commander of the US Marine Corps budgetary work, with a star on his shoulders. The Eisenhower school led by general Yang Sen is responsible for training US military officers and military workers in national security and resource strategy skills. The school recently convened more than 100 experts, hoping to study some related solutions. To this end, general Yang Sen will show the results in September to some of the top military leaders in the United States, including the Deputy Defense Minister Natsu Nan Hanl and the top military officer of the United States, the chairman of the joint chief of staff meeting, Deng Fude.
General Yang Sen said, as a country, we need to decide whether we should organize our military development or not. He added that the top US military commanders need to make a decision on how the United States can find and implement real military development solutions. He stressed: this is because our current practice is not coherent.
A well-equipped American Army
He said that in the United States how to face the military power of countries such as China and Russia, the United States national security strategy report published in January was a progress, because the strategic document established the US military competitors are China, Russia and some other countries with tensions with the United States. .
General Yang Sen stressed that weapons technology is evolving rapidly, and that the United States may find itself in a high-tech war, and that this may happen soon. He stressed that the US Army has been working on the irregular armed forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria for 20 years, which he believes has led to the development of American military forces for 15 years. Yang Sen described it as if the US Army was not ready to take part in the Second World War in 1936-1940 years, and that the US Army was really building a better combat force with the U.S. military industry when the dadkkirk retreated. He said: we have a lot of work to do to understand what the future fighting forces are like. Then it may take 10-12 years, hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, or even trillions of dollars, to build a military force to deal with a strong national opponent.

美国一位将军直白地警告说：美军如果和中国等国交战，无法保证取胜。
现任艾森豪威尔美国国家安全与资源战略学校指挥官，美国海军陆战队中将约翰·杨森（Maj。 Gen。 John Jansen）做出了这一极为严肃的警告。他表示，美军目前无论是架构上，还是准备工作上，都无法在与强手交战时保证取胜。
▲陆战队中将约翰·杨森
据报道，本周他对参与美国国家行业协会活动的媒体记者表示：“假如你认为我们美国处在一场激烈的国际竞争之中，看看我们的竞争对手，就会发现这些对手们组织得很好，而我们美军却并非如此。”他在访谈中特别警告了美军与中国军队相比，还没有做好应当完成的准备工作。杨森将军说：“（中国）学会了西方资本主义的一些关键优势，并进行了改进发展，令这些优势有利于（中国的）发展。”他表示中国对自身发展，特别是军事力量发展有更好的控制力，而美国却并非除此。他认为美国军事力量发展现在的情况“不是太好”，“军工行业与美国常规部队之间存在破裂的关系”。
▲美军夜间训练发射迫击炮
杨森将军并非一名普通军人，他很快将晋升为美国海军陆战队预算工作的最高指挥官，肩膀上要添一颗星。杨森将军带领的艾森豪威尔学校负责培训美军军官、军工行业人员在国家安全与资源战略上的技能。该学校近期召集了超过100名专家，希望研究一些相关的解决方案。为此，杨森将军在9月将把相关研究结果展示给美国若干最高军事负责人，包括了副国防部长夏南汉尔，以及美军最高级别军官——联席参谋长会议主席邓福德。
杨森将军说：“我们作为一个国家，需要决定我们到底要不要为军事发展做好组织工作，还是干脆不干了？”他补充说，美国最高军事指挥官们需要做出这一决定，研究到底美国如何找到并实施真正的军力发展解决方法。他强调：“这是因为我们现在的做法没有连贯性。”
▲装备精良的美军
他说，在美国如何面对中国、俄罗斯等国的军事力量的问题上，今年1月出台的美国国家安全战略报告书是一个“进步”，因为这一战略文件确立了美国军事上面对的竞争对手是中国、俄罗斯以及其他一些与美国关系紧张的国家。
杨森将军强调武器科技正在高速演变，美国可能会发现自己陷入一场高科技作战之中，而且这可能很快就会发生。
他强调，美军已经有20年在忙着对付伊拉克、阿富汗和叙利亚的非正规武装组织，他认为这令美国军事力量发展落后了15年。
杨森形容说这就像1936-1940年美军没有准备好参加第二次世界大战，直到敦克尔克大撤退的时候，美军才真的与美国军工行业一道打造更好的作战力量。
他说：“我们现在有许多工作要做，才能了解到底未来的作战力量是怎么样的……然后可能需要10-12年、几百几千亿美元的投入，甚至万亿美元级别的投入，才能建成能够对付强大国家对手的军事力量。”
