There is not a day that goes by in which you don't hear how the US is amassing a huge military contingent.
What is not known is that not all of these assets are necessarily part of an offensive plan. Nevertheless, this includes carriers with fighter jets and guided-missile destroyers like Tomahawks. At the same time, the increased air defense systems like the THAAD and Patriot, are positioned to protect US personnel and allies from retaliation.
