A potential conflict between the United States and China would largely be fought using precision munitions, US army logistics chief Douglas Bush said.
Such a conflict would require high-end precision munitions for air-to-air, air-to-sea and surface combat, Bush said. Precision weapons are complicated systems to manufacture, which could pose a challenge, Bush added.
The Indo-Pacific region is one of the most difficult in the world for sustaining large-scale combat operations, Bush also said. However, no one is more prepared for that challenge than the United States, Bush said.
The United States is likely to increase its defense stockpile requirements after analysis of the conflict in Ukraine, Bush said.

US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said that she remains committed to sending no money to Ukraine as Kiev needs to find peace and not war.
During her speech, the congresswoman also passed a personal message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky saying “you better leave your hands off of our sons and daughters because they're not dying over there.”
Earlier in February, Zelensky said “the US will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending [our] sons and daughters to war” causing a flurry of criticism in the United States.

🇰🇪Kenya’s President Ruto denounces Supreme Court’s decision in favor of LGBTQ freedoms
▪️The government will not allow Kenya to head in that direction and won't support calls to legalize the LGBTQ community as the country has its own values that should be respected, the president William Ruto has said.
🗣"We respect the Court but… I will not allow it in Kenya. We have our culture and traditions, we respect our constitution and all our religions," he said, adding: "We can’t travel the road of women marrying women or men marrying men. That will not happen under my watch."
▪️Last week, the East African nation’s Supreme Court ruled that a board overseeing non-government organizations was discriminatory when refused an activist to register a pro-LGBTQ rights entity
