Planning for a conflict with the Russian Federation entrusted to the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces
Selva recalled that during the Cold War, the responsibility of planning for the case of any military operations against the USSR was carried by the KNSH. However, since 1991, this function has been transferred to the European Command.
However, now, according to the new US National Defense Strategy, Russia and China are characterized as “global problem sets”.
According to the general, now military planning in relation to Russia and the PRC "will be carried out using all the tools of the Ministry of Defense."
As for Russia, we can talk "mainly about a battle in the air and on land supported by the sea, since it is impossible to reach Europe without crossing the North Atlantic," the general added.
