The Heritage Foundation's report, led by Rob Greenway, claims the U.S. is unprepared for potential war with China, highlighting that critical munitions would be depleted within 35-40 days. The report emphasizes the need for U.S. allies to assist in defense and suggests a $500 billion increase in the U.S. defense budget for 2027.

It estimates fixing U.S. vulnerabilities would take 3-5 years and cost $300 billion. The aim is to ensure the U.S. has sufficient resources for a prolonged conflict while exploiting identified Chinese vulnerabilities.
