We need an addition of at least five more mountain divisions. The proposed five year time frame is too slow. This has to be done in two years.
In addition, we need five more regular divisions. Sorely needed are two crack airborne division along the line of US 101 and 82nd for rapid deployments.
The acquisition of new weapons and modernization must be done more rapidly. The MRCA fighter project has taken 20 years, but we still are going to take another five years! This is totally unacceptable. LCA must be allowed to come up on their own development time. However, that cannot be relied upon for the next ten years. So, we must speed up our acquisition process on MRCA, aircraft carriers, submarines, radars, missiles and so on.
