About the Event
Join FPRI on Monday, March 10 at 11:00 AM ET for a virtual discussion on how the new administration and Congress can spearhead transformative reforms in Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition and Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) processes.
As the defense landscape rapidly evolves, this session will delve into innovative strategies for streamlining operations, increasing agility, and fostering a culture of innovation within the DoD. Key insights will highlight how policymakers and lawmakers can reshape acquisition practices to ensure that the US military is equipped to stay ahead of emerging threats and technological advances, ultimately strengthening national security.
Together, we will explore how these reforms can create a more adaptive and forward-thinking defense apparatus, capable of responding to future challenges with speed and precision.
