The exercises include deploying teams of marines from Chinook helicopters, readying unarmed assault rifles, and scoping out terrain that would hypothetically be used if conflict erupted.
The developments are a disturbing glimpse into the perspective of US military leaders as the hostile nation continues to threaten to invade Taiwan.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has made no secret of his desire to 'reunify' Taiwan with mainland China, but has kept rivals in the dark over when he could deploy a surprise attack. Taiwan, a successful democracy, says it has no desire to become part of China. The US has not formally-said it will defend Taiwan if China invades, but President Biden has indicated he'd deploy US troops to defend the island in the event of an attack.

Beijing said the war games were a 'strong punishment' for Taiwan following the inauguration of its new president, Lai Ching-te, with analysts seeing it as yet another blatant show of China's military prowess. With this threat looming, the Wall Street Journal joined the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment in its training on the Philippine islands, its fourth trip to the region. The regiment was only created two years ago to reform America's military presence in the region, and has been preparing on Hawaiian Islands and in California.
US forces gained access to several Philippine military bases last year, and the training exercises were carried out further north on a string of islands around an hour from Taiwan.
However, the war games have reportedly found one main, concerning conclusion: the US military needs ships to move marines between South China Sea islands, which have not even begun being constructed yet.
While the training exercises didn't include real bullets or missiles, the marines were preparing for what would happen if war broke out, including leaving the Chinook helicopters and fanning out across the islands as quickly as possible. Moving around quickly and s†éálthily would be key to avoiding China's sensors and drones, which Col. John Lehane said was to 'complicate' the rival's decision making.US troops hope that a series of quick, nimble moves from location to location would help strain China's military capacity and potentially buy time until further backup arrives. '(China would) expend an awful lot of resources to figure out where we are and what we’re doing,' he said. With s†éálth and agility the priority for the marine regiment, Lehane said the US military is 'continually refining the balance between what is the lightest package I can put there to reduce the logistics burden while still making sure that it is combat credible and able to fight.'
