战争部长佩特·赫格塞思周三宣布计划建造一座现代化、自给自足的军事堡垒，并表示该地点将通过州长们竞标其州作为潜在位置的基于绩效的竞争来选定。
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced plans to build a modern, self-sustaining military fortress, saying the site will be selected through a merit-based competition among governors pitching their states as potential locations.
这项被称为“下一代美国大基地”的宏大项目在海军陆战队基地昆蒂科的演讲中公布，作为赫格塞思六大战略之一，以实现军事现代化。
The megaproject, dubbed the "Next Great American Base," was unveiled during an address at Marine Corps Base Quantico as part of Hegseth’s six strategies to modernize the military.
该倡议拒绝了赫格塞思所描述的传统做法，即在先进武器系统上大量支出，而服务人员却住在老旧基地、过时的宿舍里。
The initiative rejects what Hegseth described as the legacy approach to spend heavily on advanced weapons systems while service members live on aging bases with outdated barracks.
“我们的军队长期以来一直被同样陈旧的华盛顿套路所拖累：花费数万亿美元购买精美武器系统，而我们的部队却住在老旧基地、过时宿舍，基础设施不足。那个时代已经结束，”赫格塞思说。
"For too long, our military has been bogged down by the same old tired Washington playbook: spending trillions on exquisite weapons systems, while our troops live in aging bases, outdated barracks, and with inadequate infrastructure. That era is over," Hegseth said.
独家：赫格塞思将大幅削减将军、海军上将的数量，进行重大五角大楼重组。“为了支持我们的战斗人员，当我们把部队送回家时，我们不会只是把他们调到传统岗位。我们将从零开始为他们建造美丽的新基地，”他补充道。
EXCLUSIVE: HEGSETH TO DOUBLE CUTS TO GENERALS, ADMIRALS IN MAJOR PENTAGON SHAKEUP "To back up our warfighters, when we bring the troops home, we won’t just reshuffle troops onto legacy posts. We are going to build them beautiful new bases from the ground up," he added.
这项雄心勃勃的工程将拥有一座全新的军事设施，面积达数十万英亩，可容纳多达25,000名服务人员。
The ambitious undertaking will feature a brand-new military installation spanning hundreds of thousands of acres and housing up to 25,000 service members.
“我们谈论的是数十万英亩的土地，配备有有机发电、现代防空系统和尖端技术——一座堡垒，”他表示。
"We are talking hundreds of thousands of acres with organic power generation, modern air defenses, and cutting edge technology — a fortress," he said.
该设施预计将提供一流的生活条件、高端训练场地以及医疗保健和托儿等基本服务，并完全脱离商业电网，使用独立电源。
The installation is expected to provide first-class living conditions, high-end training grounds and essential services such as health care and child care, while operating entirely off the commercial grid with independent power sources.
赫格塞思补充说，该基地将支持总统唐纳德·特朗普关于“美丽市政建筑”的行政命令，该命令要求联邦公共建筑和军事设施采用永恒且古典的风格设计。“我们对战士们的责任不容低于黄金标准，”赫格塞思说。
Hegseth added that the base will support President Donald Trump’s executive order on "Beautiful Civic Architecture," which calls for federal public buildings and military installations to be designed in timeless and classical styles. "We owe our warriors nothing less than the gold standard," Hegseth said.
参议院共和党推动以功绩为基础的军队晋升制度，瞄准拜登时代的DEI政策 为确定选址，战争部表示将启动一场透明、以功绩为基础的竞赛，各州州长可直接向五角大楼的军方高层推介其提案。
SENATE REPUBLICAN PUSHES MERIT-BASED MILITARY PROMOTIONS, TARGETS BIDEN-ERA DEI POLICIES To determine the site location, the Department of War said it is launching a transparent, merit-based competition in which state governors can pitch their proposals directly to top military leadership at the Pentagon.
获胜州份将根据其消除监管障碍和官僚主义以加快建设的能力，以及提供的土地、社区支持、一流住房、学校和其他服务的最佳组合包来选定。
The winning state will be chosen based on its ability to remove regulatory hurdles and bureaucracy to speed up construction, while offering the best package of land, community support, top-tier housing, schools and other services.
新闻稿称：“削减繁文缛节最多、提供土地和支持组合包最好的州，将赢得举办全球最致命、最现代化、最美丽军事设施的历史殊荣。”
"The state that cuts the most red tape and offers the best package of land and support will win the historic honor of hosting the most lethal, modern, and beautiful military installation on the planet," a press release stated.
据五角大楼称，推介审议过程将被记录并公开，以消除“政治偏袒”。
Pitch deliberations will be recorded and made public to eliminate "political favoritism," according to the Pentagon.
赫格塞斯表示：“没有华盛顿的暗箱交易。没有政治偏袒——只有实实在在、以功绩为基础的竞赛，看哪个州将与我们合作，建设全球最现代化、最美丽、最致命的军事设施。”该项目是部长公布的六大战略举措中的第四项。
"No backroom Washington deals. No political favoritism – just a straight-up, merit-based contest to see which state will partner with us to build the most modern, beautiful, and lethal military installation on the planet," Hegseth said. The project is the fourth announcement among six major strategic initiatives unveiled by the secretary.
据战争部称，其他举措侧重于恢复男性体能标准和战斗角色、改进军事标准的综合审查、彻底改革投诉流程、改革高级领导层以及专注于核心训练和维护。
According to the Department of War, the other initiatives focus on restoring male physical standards and combat roles, improving the comprehensive review of military standards, overhauling complaint processes, reforming senior leadership and focusing on core training and maintenance.
