3 The Threats

The measures known as by the acronym A2AD (Anti Access, Area Denial), have their origin in the humiliation caused by President Clinton to China when he settled the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996 by deploying two groups of aircraft carriers in the area. Twenty years later and two land wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, added to China’s persistence, have resulted in China having today a panoply of weapons from hypersonic, cruise, ballistic and anti ship missiles, nuclear submarines, passing through mines, ships of different sizes, including aircraft carriers, integrated air defense (IAD), aircrafts, intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) network, and so on, that interfere with or prohibit access to an area if it doesn’t cause big losses.

Generally speaking, A2AD capabilities are those which challenge and threaten the ability of enemy forces to both get to the fight and to fight effectively once there, specifically:The A2 (Anti-Access) capabilities are actions intended to slow deployment of forces into a theater or cause forces to operate from distances farther from the locus of conflict than they would otherwise prefer. A2 affects movement to a theater. It is included in this concept, the attack on enemy homeland or allied or advanced bases.
