Acting Secretary Announces Event To Identify Weak Spots In Industrial Base
The US Army is set to host a ‘manufacturing rodeo’ event aimed at identifying weak spots in its supply chain. Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle announced the initiative, which will involve a competition between industry partners to ‘strain’ and ‘stress test’ the supply chain. Telle emphasized the need for the Army to control and secure land, and to be able to produce critical systems and components domestically. The event is part of the Army’s efforts to modernize its supply chain and improve its ability to respond to emerging threats. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
