Thinking Through Protracted War with China

By Joel B Predd, Paul Deluca, Scott Savitz

This report describes a set of scenarios through which the authors explore the hypothesis that U.S.-China competition plausibly could lead to wars that endure longer than envisioned by traditional force planning scenarios. These scenarios feature a variety of circumstances in which the United States and China could be required to sustain military operations on a potentially open-ended time frame.
