US President Donald Trump announced that he signed four executive orders. First, military personnel who were discharged due to vaccination were reinstated. Second, he began the process of developing “America’s Iron Dome,” or a comprehensive missile defense shield around the United States. The third executive order eliminated “gender radicalism” in the military, and the fourth eliminated the DEI (gender diversity) services and offices in the military, reported by NBC News.
The purpose of the “Iron Dome” program
Republicans applaud the president’s intention to imitate the Israeli missile defense program, although some military experts are skeptical. Section 1. The purpose of the “Iron Dome” program is to counter the threat of ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles and other advanced air attacks, which remains the most catastrophic threat facing the United States.
President Ronald Reagan sought to build an effective defense against nuclear attacks. Although the program led to many technological advances, it was canceled before its purpose was realized. The United States withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002 and began developing limited domestic missile defenses.
Reasons for the creation of the “Iron Dome”
In the decree, Trump noted that over the past 40 years, the threat to the United States from next-generation strategic weapons has not decreased, but has become more intense and complex due to the development of next-generation missile delivery systems by adversaries and their own integrated air and missile defenses. That is why the United States will ensure the collective defense of its citizens and the nation by deploying and maintaining a next-generation missile defense shield.
