Elite Businessmen To Overhaul Defense Contracting Process
The Department of Defense has launched a team of elite private sector businessmen, dubbed ‘Deal Team Six,’ to handle defense contractor negotiations and create better deals. According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the team aims to reduce cost overruns and ensure that defense companies produce U.S. military equipment without exploiting taxpayers. The team is part of the Economic Defense Unit and will work to grant larger contracts to companies that meet certain conditions. This development was reported by Defense News.
