This article mentions 330 vehicles and 13 containers. By US military terms, that is absolutely nothing. Nothing compared to the equipment we keep stored and maintained in other locations. I feel like the article makes this seem more significant than it is. This is not even a drop in the bucket, let alone enough to call stockpiling as the article does.

LOL, we have that and more in my little town.

I’ll grant, it could be gear to jump start unloading a real delivery. Gotta have something to start with.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

When US and Australian troops practised amphibious landings, ground combat and air operations last year, they drew headlines about the allies deepening defence cooperation to counter China’s growing military ambitions.

But for US war planners preparing for a potential conflict over Taiwan, the high-profile Talisman Sabre exercises had a far more discrete value: they helped create new stockpiles of military equipment that were established in Australia after the drills ended in August, US officials said.

The US and its allies are increasingly worried that in the coming years the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, could order his military to seize Taiwan, the democratically governed island China considers its own territory.

And yet some of these timelines (to address the risks) are 10, 15, 20 years long,” said congressman Mike Waltz, a Republican who leads the House subcommittee overseeing military logistics and readiness.

In a war game run for US Congress in April, China prepared for an amphibious assault on Taiwan with massive air and missile strikes against US bases in the region.

By contrast, a Reuters analysis of the Pentagon’s budget request found that the military currently plans to only ask for $US2.5bn from fiscal year 2023 to 2027 to preposition equipment and fuel and improve logistics in Asia.
