Applying The Updated Warfighting Acquisition Principles To Power Projection Platforms

Secretary Hegseth’s streamlined Acquisition Strategy can and should be applied to the planning of the Garrisons, Bases, Camps, and Stations. The bureaucratic roadblocks impeding agile weapon development are indistinguishable from those hindering rapidly evolving missions and the transformation of Safe Havens into future-flexible Power Projection Platforms. Replacing limiting, prescriptive guidance with “risk-based decision-making”, asset management and commercial technologies will help leaders ensure that constrained resources are prioritized in support of operational requirements, resilience, and readiness.
