It is virtually impossible to eliminate the US nuclear arsenal since it is based on a triad of land, air, and sea delivery systems designed to provide a counterstrike capability.
The submarine-launched ballistic missiles in particular are widely accepted as the most survivable element of the US nuclear deterrent as a portion of it is always at sea.
Under Marcinko's leadership, the team was able to infiltrate seemingly impenetrable, highly secured bases, nuclear submarines, ships, and other purported "secure areas" such as Air Force One, and disappear without incident.
As I already noted, the amphibious-assault capability of the combined militaries of the world are simply too insignificant to get a beachhead on a coast.
The exercises saw an emphasis placed on joint and combined tactics in complex electro-magnetic environments as well as on realism and accuracy in command and control
Wait, dint the other article explicitly address EMP already?
Nope. That was just my imagination. They do go on to say
The solution for the invading world armies would be to negate the importance of geography and technology.
Which an EMP would accomplish half of that pretty well. Geography is pretty well traversable by our convenient interstate system.
Remember Americans, when they invade, first thing blow up all the bridge, airports, and litter the interstates with abandoned cara.
