The case for pulling US forces back from the first island chain

Original: The case for pulling US military back from the first island chain

Responsible Statecraft has published an argument for withdrawing US military forces from positions along the first island chain, the line of islands running from Japan through Taiwan and the Philippines. The piece contends forward deployments may expose troops and raise costs without improving deterrence of China. It adds to an ongoing debate in Washington over how far forward American forces should be positioned in the Indo-Pacific.

Why now: Ongoing debate over US force posture in Asia amid rising tensions with China.
