A series of wargames conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggests what the most useful forces will be in a war with China over Taiwan. During the wargames, it was found that U.S. submersibles and long-range precision-guided munitions (PGM), especially those launched from strategic bombers, would be key weapons in such a fight

In addition, Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) with a limited range of 100 nautical miles that were deployed with MLRs during the wargames proved to have limited utility in a fight over Taiwan. This was due to an inability to deploy Marines close enough to Taiwan to make the NSMs effective, caused by a blockade enforced by Chinese ships, aircraft, and land-based launchers. This blockade also ruled out conducting an amphibious assault against Chinese forces that had created a beachhead on Taiwan. It was found that missiles with long ranges, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles, would be most effective when employed by Marines from distant bases in the Western Pacific. The wargames specifically noted, “If ground-launched Tomahawks have a similar range to their Vertical Launch System (VLS) counterparts, they could be employed from peacetime bases on Okinawa without moving in the Chinese defensive zone.”[17]

Also a first, he said, is the U.S. at Talisman Sabre demonstrating the use of its Typhon Missile system, which is a midrange capability that can fire the Standard Missile-6 or the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile.

"We fired SM6 live, first time west of the international date line, from the land and hit a sea target ... at 166 kilometers," Vowell said. "That was emblematic of the requirement the joint forces levied on the Army to be able to have a capability to hold maritime targets at risk from the land."
