This makes for pretty interesting reading if you have the time.

I am working my way through it now. Still in the first third, and still mostly red scare stuff.

Zraver,

You are right, there certainly is an element of red scare in the report. Some of the assumptions about Chinese hardware and capabilities are really generous, but what I found most interested was the recommendations it makes which may offer some insight to future U.S. actions in the western pacific. The suggestion to refurbish airfields in Saipan, Tinian etc. as a counter to the possibility of a Chinese strike on Guam makes a lot of sense to me.
