战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯周三宣布了建造一座现代化、自给自足军事要塞的计划,并表示将通过各州州长提交本州作为潜在选址的竞标,以择优评选基地地点。
这项被称为“美国下一座伟大基地”的大型项目,是赫格塞斯在海军陆战队匡蒂科基地发表演讲时公布的,作为其六项军队现代化战略的一部分。
该倡议摒弃了赫格塞斯所说的传统做法——在先进武器系统上斥巨资,而军人却住在陈旧过时的军营里。
“长期以来,我们的军队一直困守于陈腐过时的华盛顿旧套路:在尖端武器系统上花费数万亿美元,而我们的官兵却住在老化的基地、过时的营房里,基础设施也不足。这个时代已经结束了,”赫格塞斯说道。

“为了支持我们的作战人员,当我们将部队撤回国内时,我们不会只是将他们重新安排到旧基地里。我们将从零开始为他们建造漂亮的新基地,”他补充道。
这项雄心勃勃的项目将打造一座占地数十万英亩的全新军事设施,可容纳多达2.5万名军人。
“我们所说的是拥有自备发电系统、现代化防空系统和尖端技术的数十万英亩土地,一座要塞,”他说道。
该设施将提供一流的生活条件、高端训练场地以及医疗保健和托儿等基本服务,同时完全脱离商业电网,使用独立电源运行。
赫格塞斯补充说,该基地将支持唐纳德·特朗普总统的“精美市民建筑”行政命令,该命令要求联邦公共建筑和军事设施采用永恒经典的风格设计。
“我们欠我们的战士的无非是最高标准,”赫格塞斯说道。

为确定基地选址,战争部表示将发起一场透明的择优竞标,各州州长可直接向五角大楼的最高军事领导层提交竞标方案。
获胜州将根据其能否消除监管障碍和官僚作风以加快建设进度,同时提供最佳的土地、社区支持、顶级住房、学校和其他服务组合来选出。
“削减最多繁文缛节并提供最佳土地与支持方案的州,将赢得承办地球上最具杀伤力、最现代化、最漂亮军事设施的历史性荣誉,”一份新闻稿称。
五角大楼表示,竞标审议过程将被记录并公开,以杜绝“政治偏袒”。
“没有华盛顿的幕后交易。没有政治偏袒——只有一场直接的择优竞赛,看看哪个州将与我们合作,建造地球上最现代化、最漂亮、最具杀伤力的军事设施,”赫格塞斯说道。

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced plans to build a modern, self-sustaining military fortress, saying the site will be selected through a merit-based competition among governors pitching their states as potential locations.
The megaproject, dubbed the “Next Great American Base,” was unveiled during an address at Marine Corps Base Quantico as part of Hegseth’s six strategies to modernize the military.
The initiative rejects what Hegseth described as the legacy approach to spend heavily on advanced weapons systems while service members live on aging bases with outdated barracks.
“For too long, our military has been bogged down by the same old tired Washington playbook: spending trillions on exquisite weapons systems, while our troops live in aging bases, outdated barracks, and with inadequate infrastructure. That era is over,” Hegseth said.

“To back up our warfighters, when we bring the troops home, we won’t just reshuffle troops onto legacy posts. We are going to build them beautiful new bases from the ground up,” he added.
The ambitious undertaking will feature a brand-new military installation spanning hundreds of thousands of acres and housing up to 25,000 service members.
“We are talking hundreds of thousands of acres with organic power generation, modern air defenses, and cutting edge technology — a fortress,” he said.
The installation is expected to provide first-class living conditions, high-end training grounds and essential services such as health care and child care, while operating entirely off the commercial grid with independent power sources.
Hegseth added that the base will support President Donald Trump’s executive order on “Beautiful Civic Architecture,” which calls for federal public buildings and military installations to be designed in timeless and classical styles.
“We owe our warriors nothing less than the gold standard,” Hegseth said.

To determine the site location, the Department of War said it is launching a transparent, merit-based competition in which state governors can pitch their proposals directly to top military leadership at the Pentagon.
The winning state will be chosen based on its ability to remove regulatory hurdles and bureaucracy to speed up construction, while offering the best package of land, community support, top-tier housing, schools and other services.
“The state that cuts the most red tape and offers the best package of land and support will win the historic honor of hosting the most lethal, modern, and beautiful military installation on the planet,” a press release stated.
Pitch deliberations will be recorded and made public to eliminate “political favoritism,” according to the Pentagon.
“No backroom Washington deals. No political favoritism – just a straight-up, merit-based contest to see which state will partner with us to build the most modern, beautiful, and lethal military installation on the planet,” Hegseth said.

The project is the fourth announcement among six major strategic initiatives unveiled by the secretary.
According to the Department of War, the other initiatives focus on restoring male physical standards and combat roles, improving the comprehensive review of military standards, overhauling complaint processes, reforming senior leadership and focusing on core training and maintenance.
