Multiple giant military bases, massive capability to design, build and launch short range-intermediate range-ballistic rocket and missile/space systems, a huge tactical air assault, tactical fighter and strategic bomber capability, and copious facilities to train war fighters of all types. Not to mention ports equipped to service the ballistic missile and attack submarine fleet and a shipyard to build and maintain a highly nimble fast frigate naval force.
Looks like the Deep South will have formidable military capabilities.
