| Abstract: |
The article "Rethinking Retreat: Retrograde Operations in the Indo-Pacific" delves into the historical use of retrograde operations by military leaders such as Grant, MacArthur, and Washington to maintain combat power and regain the initiative. It underscores the necessity for the US military to consider retrograde operations in the Indo-Pacific region due to challenges posed by China's PLA in terms of firepower, distributed forces, and operational reach. The text stresses the significance of mobility, defensive maneuver, and deception in gaining advantages in time, space, and force in the area, while also presenting opposing views advocating for a more offensive approach. Additionally, it explores strategic responses to China's military threat, particularly focusing on antiaccess/area denial tactics, and highlights the positive impact of the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) on enhancing intelligence processing capabilities for military analysts worldwide.
