The Importance of the Combat Vehicle Defense Industrial Base
The defense industry relies on highly specialized workers and manufacturing facilities, often with expertise passed through generations. Rebuilding such infrastructure requires years of reinvestment.
Losing skilled talent to unrelated industries jeopardizes military readiness and our nation’s defense capabilities.
How We Strengthen the Industrial Base
Strategic Investments: Funding small and medium-sized defense businesses ensures job continuity and stability across the supply chain.
Supplier Collaboration: Strong connections between suppliers, primes, and the Department of Defense foster shared responsibility and risk mitigation.
Workforce Development: Training and retaining skilled workers is crucial for meeting immediate demands and building long-term resilience in the defense workforce.
