Ronald Clark<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the U.S. military tackles preparing for the difficult challenge of sustaining a possible protracted operation in the Pacific theater, the services are working together to develop what they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/10\/14\/one-on-one-with-us-army-pacific-command-chief-gen-charles-flynn\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/10\/14\/one-on-one-with-us-army-pacific-command-chief-gen-charles-flynn\/\">calling Joint Theater Sustainment Distribution Centers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is largely responsible for establishing several of these major sites that will shelter equipment and a variety of supplies that could be used during war, humanitarian crises or natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are responsible for setting the theater for the joint force,\u201d Clark told Defense News in a June 27 interview. \u201cThe way that we\u2019ve undertaken that strategically is to build joint interior line through Joint Theater Distribution Centers that we\u2019re establishing across the Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has so far established <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/training-sim\/2024\/06\/04\/us-philippines-expand-exercise-to-territorial-edges-amid-tension-with-china\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/training-sim\/2024\/06\/04\/us-philippines-expand-exercise-to-territorial-edges-amid-tension-with-china\/\">one center in the Philippines<\/a> and one in Australia, for which the service is directly responsible. The other services are tasked with building out more centers across the first and second island chains in the Pacific, key archipelagos stretching from Japan through Taiwan and down to Borneo in the south Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the JTDCs is being established in Townsville, Australia, just north of the Gold Coast on the eastern side of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Talisman Sabre, the Army will be building its concept for the center along with other logistics and sustainment capabilities the service expects it will need in a highly contested environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise happens every other year. This time, roughly 35,000 soldiers from 19 countries will participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis gives us a great opportunity to test some of the capability associated with that because we have to move personnel and materiel into Australia. The tyranny of distance, of which you\u2019re well aware of, requires that,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having JTDCs \u201cin and near the first island chain is exceptionally important for us and to be able to work through some of those challenges in the concept, in peacetime, as we\u2019re working through contested logistics,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re building those concepts and building those capabilities with the Australians side-by-side to facilitate setting the theater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The locations throughout the theater will vary in size and scope, \u201cbut the things that will be universal,\u201d Clark said, \u201cis, one, you\u2019re going to have to have a port capability to move surface vessels with large amounts of material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwo, they\u2019re going to have to have storage capability for our efforts that store classes of supply. Three, they\u2019re going to have to have some sort of airfield and air capability so we can move quickly materiel, supplies, from one place to another in rapid fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The centers \u201cwill allow us to essentially cheat the requirement for strategic air because, should there be crisis or conflict, the ability to use strategic lift to get into position will be highly contested by ourselves,\u201d Clark said during a Center for Strategic and International Studies event June 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur efforts to get Army prepositioned stocks on the ground in multiple locations where we can draw and then move inter-theater to a place of need is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talisman Sabre will also test out other capabilities designed for contested logistics, such as Army watercraft concepts, as the service works to shape that strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise will also mark the first time the <a
