U.S. to deploy 3rd carrier group to deter North Korea

WASHINGTON--The U.S. Navy has decided to deploy the USS Nimitz as a third carrier-led strike force to the western Pacific to increase pressure on North Korea to rein in its arms programs. 

Nimitz, one of the world's largest warships, will join the USS Carl Vinson and USS Ronald Reagan there, sources close to the U.S. military said May 26. 

It is rare for the U.S. Navy to deploy three aircraft carriers to the same region at the same time. This latest decision means that three of the U.S. Navy’s 11 aircraft carriers will be deployed in the western Pacific. 

The Trump administration deployed the strike force to put pressure on Pyongyang to refrain from more nuclear and missile tests amid mounting concern that it will soon acquire the capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

 DYI:  So far this only appears to be a show of force.

If we are going to war – if it leaks out – a build up on a massive scale on South Korean soil of cruise missiles (50,000 to 100,000), drone aircraft (10,000 plus) and buildup of USAF units.  Also expect 2 or 3 additional aircraft carrier battle groups loitering in the Pacific Ocean north of Honshu Japan once hostilities commence they will slip through Tsugaru Straights into the Sea of Japan adding firepower to the hostilities.  Also a series of low orbiting satellites giving commanders real time target acquisition augmented with manned and unmanned recon aircraft.

Battle Field Management:

1)    Decapitation at the command level of civilian and military leaders.

        a)  Total degradation of communication systems.

(1)   Use of space based directed energy weapon systems.

(2)   Electronic jamming.

(3)   Special Forces teams cutting land lines.

2)    Total eradication of North Korea’s ballistic missile systems and development sites.

3)    Destruction of North Korea’s air force along with cratering their runways.

4)    Suppression of North Korea’s artillery units within firing range of the border of South Korea especially the capital city Seoul.

5)    Destruction of North Korea’s infrastructure.

                          1)Elimination of electrical grid (what little there is)

                             a)    Degradation of water supplies and food.

6)    SOUTH KOREA AIR, WATER AND LAND FORCES ATTACK!

7)   Hostilities end; the Korean peninsula is unified and a herculean humanitarian effort of food, water, shelter and medical care for the ex North Koreans.
