Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on two main questions concerning what is most accurately described as the 'military-industrial-Congressional' complex. First, does it function like a normal free market in which the forces of supply and demand, Adam Smith's invisible hand, can be relied upon to allocate resources efficiently, encourage innovation, and exhibit the kind of price sensitivity evident in commercial markets such as consumer electronics? Second, what has been the Department of Defense's approach to sustaining a strong, technologically vibrant and financially successful domestic defense industry? The United States' defense industrial base strategy should ensure the preservation of those few sectors that are currently critical to American national security, adding over time any emerging sectors that become critical, and ruthlessly underfunding or jettisoning any sectors that cease to be critical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, the Department of Defense (DoD) has been able to count on America's defense industrial base (DIB) always being ready to design and produce the world-class weaponry on which the U.S. military has long relied. But the U.S. DIB is considerably smaller today than it was following the Cold War's end. Now the Pentagon confronts a period of shrinking defense budgets at the same time the international security environment is posing new military challenges, such as the emergence of anti-access/area-denial capabilities, the growing threat to space-based systems, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The Defense Department has never had a coherent, long-term strategy for sustaining the defense industrial base's core competencies. Absent a strategy that proceeds from deciding first what to keep rather than what to cut, the possibility is growing that a day will come when the country's industrial base will no longer possess all the critical design and manufacturing capabilities that the U.S. military needs. This study provides a diagnosis of the military competitions most likely to dominate military relationships between the United States and prospective adversaries over the next decade or two, and the corresponding DIB competencies where the U.S. military will need to sustain advantage.

Book Synopsis Sustaining the Defense Industrial Base by : Richard O. Bailer
Download or read book Sustaining the Defense Industrial Base written by Richard O. Bailer and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restructuring of military forces will challenge the U.S. capability to execute the National Security Strategy. This strategy requires the continued capability to deter strategic war and respond to crisis; also we need the capability to replenish war reserves after military intervention and reconstitution of new forces in response to a renewed global threat. Adjusting to the defense drawdown through new management practices will insure a responsive Defense Industrial Base for the next decade. The success of the Gulf War may erroneously suggest a capability to fight a protracted war or to reconstitute forces. Despite the clear statements of policy in DoD Directive 5000.1, it is almost impossible to find any acquisition program document that addresses the Defense Industrial Base. This study will present the objectives desired from the defense industrial base, the courses of action the Army can pursue to attain those objectives and the tools available to Army leadership.

Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent report was released in October 2018. America's manufacturing and defense industrial base ("the industrial base") supports economic prosperity and global competitiveness, and arms the military with capabilities to defend the nation. Currently, the industrial base faces an unprecedented set of challenges: sequestration and uncertainty of government spending; the decline of critical markets and suppliers; unintended consequences of U.S. Government acquisition behavior; aggressive industrial policies of competitor nations; and the loss of vital skills in the domestic workforce. Combined, these challenges - or macro forces - erode the capabilities of the manufacturing and defense industrial base and threaten the Department of Defense's (DoD) ability to be ready for the "fight tonight," and to retool for great power competition. The following report explains the macro forces impacting the industrial base, identifies primary categories of risk, illustrates impacts within sectors, and provides recommendations for mitigation.I. Executive Summary * II. Introduction * III. Methodology * IV. An Overview of America's Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base * V. Five Macro Forces Driving Risk into America's Industrial Base * VI. Ten Risk Archetypes Threatening America's Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base * VII. A Blueprint for Action * Appendix One: Executive Order 13806 * Appendix Two: Sector Summaries * Appendix Three: Contributing U.S. Government Agencies * Appendix Four: U.S. Government Sources * Appendix Five: Industry Listening Sessions * Appendix Six: Agreements with Foreign GovernmentsTo provide for our national security, America's manufacturing and defense industrial base must be secure, robust, resilient, and ready. To ensure taxpayer dollars are frugally and wisely spent, the defense industrial base must be cost-effective, cost-efficient, highly productive, and not unduly subsidized. In the event of contingencies, the industrial base must possess sufficient surge capabilities. Above all, America's manufacturing and defense industrial base must support economic prosperity, be globally competitive, and have the capabilities and capacity to rapidly innovate and arm our military with the lethality and dominance necessary to prevail in any conflict.All facets of the manufacturing and defense industrial base are currently under threat, at a time when strategic competitors and revisionist powers appear to be growing in strength and capability.

This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ninth of a new, well-received, and highly acclaimed series on critical infrastructure and homeland security, Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security is an eye-opening account and an important reference describing a complex sector. This book was designed and written to serve and advise U.S. project designers, engineers, law enforcement and security specialists, building and grounds superintendents, and managers in charge of protecting critical infrastructure in the United States. Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security discusses the elements comprising the defense industrial base sector, many of the security measures employed to protect the various entities involved, and provides guidance on improving the resilience of the defense industrial base infrastructure. This text is accessible to those who have no experience with or knowledge of the defense industrial base sector. If you work through the text systematically, you will gain an understanding of the challenge of domestic preparedness—that is, an immediate need for a heightened state of awareness of the present threat facing the defense industrial base sector members as potential terrorist targets. Moreover, you will gain knowledge of security principles and measures that can be implemented—adding a critical component not only to your professional knowledge but also give you the tools needed to combat terrorism in the homeland—our homeland, both by outsiders and insiders.

Book Synopsis Does the Defense Industrial Base Environment Create Strategic Risk? by : Brandon L. Grubbs
Download or read book Does the Defense Industrial Base Environment Create Strategic Risk? written by Brandon L. Grubbs and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is a heterogeneous collection of organizations that provides equipment and materiel for the Department of Defense (DoD) in support of National defense strategy. The complex defense industrial base environment, coupled with current budget uncertainties, creates strategic risk for the United States. Sectors at risk include the missile and munitions sector, and the tracked combat vehicle sector. To mitigate this risk, DoD must ensure that only strategy-based requirements are placed on the defense industrial base; they must improve and maintain better communication with industry; promote legal reforms to the procurement process; and dedicate funding to maintain critical irreplaceable sectors of the industrial base.

Download or read book Empty Bins in a Wartime Environment written by Seth G. Jones and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. defense industrial base is not adequately prepared for the international security environment that now exists. In a major regional conflict—such as a war with China in the Taiwan Strait—the U.S. use of munitions would likely exceed the current stockpiles of the U.S. Department of Defense. According to the results of a series of CSIS war games, the United States would likely run out of some munitions—such as long-range, precision-guided munitions—in less than one week in a Taiwan Strait conflict. The war in Ukraine has also exposed serious deficiencies in the U.S. defense industrial base and serves as a stark reminder that a protracted conflict is likely to be an industrial war that requires a defense industry able to manufacture enough munitions, weapons systems, and matériel to replace depleted stockpiles. As timelines for a possible conflict in Asia shrink, the goal should be to support the production capacity required to enable the United States and its allies and partners to deter and, if deterrence fails, fight and win at least one major theater war—if not two. “Just in time” and lean manufacturing operations must be balanced with carrying added capacity. The U.S. Department of Defense, in coordination with Congress, should develop a plan now that involves taking steps to streamline and improve production, acquisitions, replenishment, Foreign Military Sales, ITAR, and other policies and procedures. A revitalization of the defense industrial base will not happen overnight for the United States or its allies and partners. It is time to prepare for the era of competition that now exists.
Book Synopsis The US Defense Industrial Base by : Barry D. Watts

Book excerpt: Eisenhower's warning about undue influence, rather than the need to maintain American military strength, tends to dominate contemporary discussions of the US defense industrial base. While the percentage of US gross domestic product going to national defense remains low compared to the 1950s and 1960s, there is a growing list of defense programs that have experienced problems with cost, schedule, and, in a few cases, weapon performance. In fairness, the federal government, including the Department of Defense and Congress, is at least as much to blame for many of these programmatic difficulties as US defense firms. Nevertheless, those critical of the defense industry tend to concentrate on these acquisition shortcomings. The main focus of this report is on a larger question. How prepared is the US defense industrial base to meet the needs of the US military Services in coming decades? The Cold War challenge of Soviet power has largely ebbed, but new challenges have emerged. There is the immediate threat of the violence stemming from Salafi- Takfiri and Khomeinist terrorist groups and their state sponsors, that have consumed so much American blood and treasure in Iraq; the longer-term challenge of authoritarian capitalist regimes epitomized by the rise of China and a resurgent Russia; and, not least, the worsening problem of proliferation, particularly of nuclear weapons. In the face of these more complex and varied challenges, it would surely be premature to begin dismantling the US defense industry. From a competitive perspective, therefore, the vital question about the defense industrial base is whether it will be as much a source of long-term advantage in the decades ahead as it has been since the 1950s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Organic Industrial Base (AOIB), a subset of the larger Defense industrial base, is composed of resource providers, acquisition and sustainment planners, and manufacturing and maintenance performers. While the dominate component of the overall Defense industrial base is commercial industry, the AOIB maintenance Depots, manufacturing Arsenals, and ammunition plants, are key components of the overall Defense industrial base. The critical role that the AOIB plays in support of our National Security Strategy has never been more apparent over the past decade as Army AOIB facilities successfully surged to sustain war fighting equipment deployed in support of the Iraq and Afghanistan contingency operations. The Army is poised to begin a drawdown from sustained combat operations, which requires that the Army address and manage risks in the AOIB as the Army transitions from a wartime to a peacetime environment. It is critical that the AOIB manage the transition from wartime production levels to peacetime requirements in such a manner that the OIB remains effective, efficient, and capable of meeting future Army contingency requirements. This entails the retention of the critical maintenance and manufacturing skills, and capabilities necessary to meet Army unique needs relating to enduring and future requirements. The Army Organic Industrial Base Strategic Plan (AOIBSP) provides the strategy and management framework needed to ensure the AOIB remains viable, effective, and efficient as the Army draws down from a decade of combat operations. The OIBSP provides a forward looking management framework capable of identifying critical risk areas within area functional groups across the FYDP and establishes a common framework to develop mitigating strategies. The AOIBSP ensures critical AOIB capabilities are sustained, balanced with private sector industrial base requirements, and available to surge to meet future wartime and other emergency operations.

This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing USA Institutes aim to protect national security and increase U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing. The domestic industrial base is critical to supporting and sustaining both military advantage and economic competitiveness. Through these institutes, the DoD is committed to domestically designing and manufacturing the most innovative defense systems. Intended as intensely collaborative applied research and development endeavors among government, industry, and academia, the institutes are envisioned to become lasting, self-sustaining national assets. A long-term strategy is needed to achieve this goal. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently convened a workshop to discuss the long-term sustainability of the Manufacturing USA Institutes. Participants explored different perspectives across multiple disciplines, discussed public-private partnership models, and considered international programs in advanced manufacturing to inform their recommendations regarding the future of the institutes. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
