Hello and welcome to the fighter pilot podcast. I am your host, Vincent Aiello, and this week we bring

in the Indo-Pacific region? What happens if the supply of these chips is threatened?

How can the United States meet this challenge?

and how they may affect peer and near peerpeer-level conflict in the future,

particularly in the Indo-Pacific region,

with a specific focus on military tactics, operations, and strategy,

and their interaction with the other instruments of national security policy.

The future is now.
