Acquisition & Sustainment Mission
Enable the Delivery and Sustainment of Secure, Resilient, and Preeminent Capabilities to the Warfighter and International Partners Quickly and Cost Effectively
Priorities
- Deliver high warfighting value from our developing and fielded weapons systems and provide Warfighters multiple ways to win the high-end fight
- Discovery, prototyping, and experimentation are necessary but not sufficient—we must also produce and field capabilities at scale
- Be mindful of blue and red mission threads and kill chains, and do all of this with our allies and partners
- Drive efficiencies and cost reductions to project and sustain forces globally, including by relying on and expanding partnerships
- Focus on enabling quick deployment to new, often denied areas over great distance
- Global footprint requires installations and infrastructure be resilient to adversary attacks, adverse weather and energy, and unstable supply
- Forces must continue operations by defending against modern biological and chemical threats
- Build and maintain a robust national security industrial base and supply chain
- Link our defense and organic industrial bases to the broader economic and innovation ecosystems in the United States, and those of allies and partners
- Improve and modernize production capabilities and depth for relevant American industry
- Partner with the private sector and state and local governments to boost domestic capability
- Invest in a first-class future workforce through talent management, education, training, and employment
