If China did a nuclear attack, the US Army wouldn't be involved at all in any war. They'd sit back while the US Air Force and Navy completely nuked China. There wouldn't be an invasion because there'd be nothing left to invade at that point, so no army would be needed.
Remember, the US's nuclear arsenal is far, far larger than China's. Such a conflict would be devastating to the US (and to many other places due to fallout), but China would cease to exist.

Such a conflict would be devastating to the US (and to many other places due to fallout), but China would cease to exist. And if the US's war aim was to liberate the Chinese people from dictatorship, it would have failed miserably in that case, having destroyed them instead.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> If China did a nuclear attack, the US Army wouldn't be involved at all in any war. The proposal was that the US would attempt to invade, decapitate, and replace the Chinese regime; the idea of Chinese nuclear action was as a response to that. So the Army would already be involved, and US nuclear annihilation of China would be nuking our own army.
