Vital Signs 2024: The Health and Readiness of the Defense Industrial Base : National Defense Industrial Association , April , 2024
From the introduction: “During the last 35 years, the U.S. lost its understanding of the direct connection between a strong defense industrial base and effective national deterrence. Six U.S. administrations worked tirelessly to deter peer conflict, but in many ways, the U.S. both forgot enduring truths regarding what national deterrence against peer competition requires and failed to successfully address the changing social, demographic, and financial trends impacting the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (U.S. DIB). Forewarned by tragedies of current conflict unfolding in multiple regions around the world, U.S. policymakers are more keenly conscious of the consequences of failed deterrence and the inexorable reality of what it would take for the U.S. military to prevail in and for the U.S. DIB to be responsive to multiple contingencies occurring simultaneously.”
