The initiatives are administered under the Defense Production Act and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment programs.
The Pentagon announced an Interim Implementation Report detailing the progress of the Defense Department in building a resilient industrial base. Following the National Defense Industrial Strategy, which was released in January, the report offers a strategic vision and identifies four priorities for modernizing the “defense industrial ecosystem.“
“This report conveys the commitment that the Department has made to achieving the priorities outlined in the National Defense Industrial Strategy since January,” said Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, Dr. Laura Taylor-Kale. “Among other activities, we are increasing our domestic production capabilities, educating and training the current and future defense industrial workforce, exploring new ways to lower the barriers to entry for small and non-traditional businesses, and strengthening collaboration with allies and partners.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for Pentagon officials as they assess the efforts of the department to implement the industrial base strategy.
- For Secretary Austin to seek God’s guidance as he heads the Defense Department.
