The United States' military doctrine in the Asia-Pacific focuses on denying China a fait accompli seizure of Taiwan by establishing capabilities for sustained defense, resilience, counter-air operations, anti-surface warfare, and countering anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) operations. China’s doctrine envisions ‘systems-destruction warfare’ through multi-domain joint operations, employing a counter-intervention strategy to deter US and allied involvement in support of Taiwan.
India’s military doctrine is geared against China and Pakistan, having recently launched evolving ‘surgical strikes’ as a proactive response to Pakistani terror attacks. Military doctrines, whether formal or informal, are strong indicators of how armed forces plan to fight, with operational concepts providing a benchmark for strategic competition severity. Understanding these doctrines is crucial for assessing military readiness and predicting how conflicts will be fought, thereby shaping regional security dynamics and the severity of security dilemmas.
