Abstract

The article discusses the current crisis facing the United States defense-industrial base, highlighting its inadequacies in addressing threats from Russia and China. A report from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy for the United States indicates significant shortfalls in manufacturing, supply chains, and workforce capabilities. The article outlines historical parallels to the mobilization efforts during World War II, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach involving both large defense contractors and innovative smaller companies. It proposes six steps to revitalize the defense-industrial base, including regulatory reforms, leveraging advanced technologies, and fostering partnerships with universities and venture capitalists to enhance production and innovation in defense-related sectors.
