One of the largest vulnerabilities the US has vis a vis China is that in the western pacific most of its eggs are in a few vulnerable baskets like Guam Kadena etc. The idea is that if China saturates these places the US can be massively hampered in terms of sorties, attrition to their equipment etc.

The solution the US military has come up with (from my research) seems to be "agile combat employment " aka ACE which says the US will distribute bases across the region so they aren't as concentrated. The logistical issue with this is

1. How does the US plan to get fuel to these distributed air strips? Will they pre position lots of fuel and how long will these fuel depots last for?
2. Will there be enough spare parts?
3. Will there be enough ammo stored?
4. Will there be the required number of technical maintenance and repair specialists on these various islands? I can imagine demand would be high for these skills so can the US afford to distribute them. If these crews on dispersed islands are small they can be very vulnerable to attrition. You can have 99% of your crew working but if you don't have the guy who can look after engines the plane won't sortie.
5. How vulnerable will individual units be to attrition of certain key assets? To quote WOTR "what if losing that logistics aircraft results in the flameout of a dozen other aircraft expecting to rendezvous with the tanker on their precarious return from a distant strike?". Basically, if planes are distributed and a certain squadron relies on one tanker, of that one tanker disappears will that squadron essentially become inoperable?

Am I missing something or does this plan seem to be a little bit logistically shaky. When you take into account China will be targeting every single tanker, UNREP etc won't ACE run into issues?
