Accelerating Warfighting Capabilities: Putting the Industrial Base on a Wartime Footing

This episode of All About the Base, a video series analyzing critical industrial base topics, features the plenary panel from the 23rd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium & Innovation Summit on ongoing efforts to place the industrial base on a wartime footing. The panel brings together the Honorable Michael Cadenazzi, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy; Mr. James Ruocco, performing the duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition; Vice Admiral Dion English, Director of Logistics at the Joint Staff; and Mr. Michael Miller, Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. Together, their perspectives highlight both the progress made toward translating industrial ambition into operational reality and the coordination across government, industry, and allied partners that continued success will require.
