We have a lot of forces to deploy there. Let me explain: Iraq is a ground war; China-Taiwan will be a Air and Naval War. The USN is a non-factor in Iraq and the USAF is a small player. If for some reason the China-Taiwan crisis required ground forces (unlikely), we can get them from the peninsula (korea). South Korea is more than capable of beating back the north koreans BY THEMSELVES. Although the Army's pretty busy at the moment, as an Active Duty Airman my self I can assure you that our Airmen and Sailors are more than capable of getting the job done.

Name all the major conflicts that have been won from the air or sea without ground forces.

I would imagine our air munitions inventory is pretty low at present. What I understand it takes 18 months manufacturing time to replace a cruise missile.
