Empty Bins in a Wartime Environment #CenterForStrategicAndInternationalStudies #CounterTerrorism #CSIS #CSISdc #NationalSecurity #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

The U.S. defense industrial base is not adequately prepared for the international security environment that now exists. In a major regional conflict—such as a war with China in the Taiwan Strait—the U.S. use of munitions would likely exceed the current stockpiles of the U.S. Department of Defense. According to the results of a series of CSIS war games, the United States would likely run out of some munitions—such as long-range, precision-guided munitions—in less than one week in a Taiwan Strait conflict. The war in Ukraine has also exposed serious deficiencies in the U.S. defense industrial base and serves as a stark reminder that a protracted conflict is likely to be an industrial war that requires a defense industry able to manufacture enough munitions, weapons systems, and matériel to replace depleted stockpiles. As timelines for a possible conflict in Asia shrink, the goal should be to support the production capacity required to enable the United States and its allies and partners to deter and, if deterrence fails, fight and win at least one major theater war—if not two. “Just in time” and lean manufacturing operations must be balanced with carrying added capacity. The U.S. Department of Defense, in coordination with Congress, should develop a plan now that involves taking steps to streamline and improve production, acquisitions, replenishment, Foreign Military Sales, ITAR, and other policies and procedures. A revitalization of the defense industrial base will not happen overnight for the United States or its allies and partners. It is time to prepare for the era of competition that now exists.To read the full report, visit https://www.csis.org/analysis/empty-bins-wartime-environment-challenge-us-defense-industrial-base———————————————A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.

Artic Security after a Year of War #CenterForStrategicAndInternationalStudies #CounterTerrorism #CSIS #CSISdc #NationalSecurity #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

The impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine has been felt in the Arctic. The region’s primary diplomatic venue is paused, and military tensions are increasing. When Sweden and Finland join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), every Arctic country save Russia will be a member of the alliance. While the war has not diminished Russia’s core interests in the region, there are early indications that the conflict and the U.S.-led sanctions and export control regime may be impacting Moscow’s current and future Arctic capabilities, especially with respect to the formidable Northern Fleet. At the same time, Russia’s use of hybrid tactics in the region seems to be increasing in frequency and severity. The CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program (EREP) is releasing a report entitled The Russian Arctic Threat: Consequences of the Ukraine War that outlines the key security developments in the Arctic since the full-scale Russian invasion of February 2022, as well as their implications for the United States and NATO. This event will launch the report and detail its findings. Please join Max Bergmann, the director of EREP and the Lillan and Robert D. Stuart Jr. Center, as he sits down with report co-authors Colin Wall, Associate Fellow, CSIS EREP, and Njord Wegge, Professor, Norwegian Defence University College/Norwegian Military Academy. This report is made possible by the generous support of the Lillan and Robert D. Stuart Jr. Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies. This report is made possible by generous support from the Norwegian Ministry of Defense. ———————————————A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
