DLA Mobile and Resilient, US Military Is Placing New Emphasis on Ground Troops for Pacific Defense
BANGKOK — As Chinese missile testing in the waters around Taiwan grew increasingly aggressive in 1996, the U.S. sailed two aircraft carrier groups to the island that Beijing claims as its own, and China was forced to back down.

The Senate has traditionally approved large groups of military nominations by voice vote, but just one senator’s objection can upend that process.
