The world is becoming more crowded and spaces are being contested like never before. Great-power competition with Russia and China, and the risks and uncertainties that come with it, will increasingly define the character of the Joint Force for years to come.
The most recent Nuclear Posture Reviews have profoundly reset the military’s strategic objective from combating terrorism to managing inter-state strategic competition as the primary concern in US national security. Yet, the global need for Special Operations still demands responsive industry support.
Competition is coming from unexpected places in the DoD marketplace as well. Movement towards COTS systems, government owned interfaces and designs, and the use of middle tier acquisitions represent changes that make it difficult to not only protect your business base, but also to know how to compete for new business. When the demands of new opportunities arise, it’s only natural to seek surge support, particularly when your staff is already stretched in meeting customer demands.
“For the first time in 25 years, the U.S. is facing a return to great power competition. Russia and China both have advanced their military capabilities to act as global powers… Others are now pursuing advanced technology, including military technologies that were once the exclusive province of great powers—this trend will only continue” - Adm. John Richardson, former CNO
