In addition to revitalizing Pacific bases, the US has expanded its presence in the Philippines under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement or EDCA, increasing the total from 5 to 9. These sites are Naval Base Camilo Oius, Lo airport, Camp Melor, Dela Cruz, and Balabak Island.
As tensions escalate in the Indo-Pacific between the United States and China, particularly over Taiwan, the U.S. military is reviving WW2-era bases in the Western Pacific to counter China's growing military capabilities. These 80- to 85-year-old bases, from Tinian to Peleliu, are being modernized to support the U.S. Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) strategy, a cornerstone of its Pacific defense plan.
