America's remote outpost deep in the Pacific, situated roughly between Japan and Hawaii, Wake Island serves as a reserve airfield should American airpower have to fallback from the far reaches of Western Pacific during a peer state conflict. It also provides a reverse utility, working as a staging ground in a crisis for air combat missions heading west, into Russia's and especially China's highly-defended anti-access and area-denial (A2/AD) bubbles that emanate far from their shores. With the ongoing 'pivot towards the Pacific' and with adversary A2/AD capabilities creeping farther east, Wake Island is more important than it has been in decades, possibly since World War II. 美國遙遠的未來太平洋前哨基地，大致位於日本和夏威夷之間，如果在同盟國發生衝突時美國空軍必須從西太平洋的遙遠地區撤退，威克島將成為備用機場。它還提供了一種反向效用，在危機中作為向西進入俄羅斯空襲任務，尤其是中國的防空和拒絕區域（A2 / AD ）泡泡，這些泡泡從其海岸線開始擴散發。隨著持續的“向太平洋轉向”以及敵對的A2 / AD能力逐漸向東擴散，威克島比幾十年來（自第二次世界大戰以來）更加重要。 Beyond its clear logistical utility, acting as a major hub where there isn't another for thousands of miles, it sits outside the range of China's and North Korea's medium-range ballistic missiles, and largely at the end, if not entirely out of range, of their intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs). Guam, which is situated about 1,500 miles further west, is well within the range of these weapons. 除了其明確的後勤實用性之外，它還充當著數千英里之外另一個的主要樞紐，它位於中國和朝鮮的中程彈道導彈的射程之外，並且就算不是完全不在中程彈道導彈（IRBM射程的話，則在很大程度上處於末端。關島位於西部約1,500英里處，正處於這些武器的射程之內。 During the opening stages of a major conflict with China, America's bases that are within range of these missiles would be overwhelmed by them, at the very least knocking bases like Kadena in Okinawa out of commission for a substantial period of time. These strikes would likely be layered with cruise missile attacks, making them harder to defend against and upping the odds that Beijing could neuter American airpower throughout the region in the opening exchanges of a conflict. 在與中國發生重大衝突的開始階段，位於這些導彈射程以內的美國基地將被它們淹沒，至少會彈道飛彈可能會與巡弋飛彈同時發射，使美軍基地即使有完備的反導系統也難以防禦，使沖繩嘉手納、關島安德森基地在相當長一段時間內癱瘓。並增加了北京在衝突的初步交流中可能削弱整個地區的美國空中力量的可能性。 The idea of making Wake Island becoming a hub of airpower activity that looks to overcome the 'tyranny of distance' that is so closely associated with conflict in the Pacific Theater is already being trialed. Just last year, B-2 Spirits used the airfield for the first time as a forward re-arming and refueling point (FARP), with their sorties beginning at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, not Guam. This would be the likely arrangement if U.S. installations to the east were threatened or destroyed during a conflict. 使威克島成為空中力量活動的樞紐的想法已經開始嘗試，該想法旨在克服與太平洋戰區衝突密切相關的“暴政的距離”。就在去年，B-2精神首次將飛機場用作前線補給和加油站（FARP），其出動於夏威夷的希卡姆空軍基地，而不是關島空軍基地。如果美國在遠東地區的設施在衝突中受到威脅或破壞，這將是可能的安排。來源 https://v.gd/W7KTel -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 222.228.79.42 (日本) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Military/M.1594285839.A.318.html
