Defense Department To Brief On National Defense Strategy Progress
The Senate Armed Services Committee is set to examine the implementation of the National Defense Strategy and its impact on global defense posture in a closed briefing on September 17. The briefing comes as defense contractors, such as Arconic Corp., have ramped up lobbying efforts around the National Defense Authorization Act and broader defense industrial strategy. Members of Congress have also signaled their own defense priorities, with Representative Joe Neguse leading a bipartisan push to urge the Defense Department to reverse NATO force cuts. This development was reported by an unknown source.
