DW NOTE
The Pentagon doesn't order 90-day self-sufficiency for all continental bases because of spreadsheet scenarios. It orders it because something specific has changed its assessment of grid reliability, supply continuity, or adversary capability. The Hormuz closure is now in its second week and global oil supply is down 6% this year — but the timing suggests the driver is domestic infrastructure vulnerability, not external contingency. A state that tells its military to plan for three months of autonomy is a state that no longer trusts its own systems to hold.
