The coming months will witness significant transitions within the U.S. military, driven by the election of a new president and administration. This change is expected to introduce new defense priorities amid escalating global conflicts.
Despite these transitions, several ongoing initiatives at the Pentagon are anticipated to continue regardless of the administration in power. A primary focus will remain on enhancing the acquisition process and adapting to budget uncertainties.
The Defense Department is committed to modernizing its procurement methods, which involve acquiring increasingly complex technologies and tools. This modernization effort aims to support both warfighters on the battlefield and military leaders in strategic decision-making roles.
On November 13, 2023, Defense One will host the “State of Defense Business” event, bringing together defense officials, lawmakers, and industry leaders to address these pressing challenges.
