On May 17, The EurAsian Times had reported that the USA was pursuing India for military bases to paralyse China. The Pentagon has been searching for military base opportunities in the Indo-Pacific since 2004.
Global Defense Posture Review had planned to increase the number of overseas USA facilities by replacing and supplementing cold war era bases in Germany, South Korea and Japan with FCOSs ( Forward operating sites) and CSLs (Cooperative security locations). First, one is small installations that can build up rapidly and the second one hosts nation facilities with little USA personnel but with equipment and logistical capabilities. Both of them can be activated when it seems necessary.
The USA wants to deploy 60 percent of its surface ships into the Indian Pacific. For this purpose, it wants safe bases in the adjoining area of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar for refuelling its ships and other logistic operations.
India is interested in providing its military bases to the USA because it is also serving its foreign policy interest. By this, it will be able to destabilise China. The USA wants to become a major naval power in the region, to control any kind of peace-threatening activity. But inside the story, both of them are looking for their own national interests.
