This is such a shame. After almost 3 years of marketing reshoring manufacturing, there seems to be no real investment in US manufacturing. Not sure what happened to all that investment, I assume most of it is stuck in committees and bureaucratic processes. If they only focused on getting those funds directly to the businesses that can benefit from them, instead of a top-down process that has not produced any tangible results. #madeinUSA #madeinamerica #infrastructurebill #inflationreductionact

“Pentagon and DoD are going into manufacturing? Why does the Pentagon feel the need to add tech manufacturing to their purview?” The Pentagon and DoD in Manufacturing "A Strategic and a Necessary Evolution" The Department of Defense (DoD) has recently undertaken significant initiatives to bolster its manufacturing capabilities. This shift is driven by a combination of strategic needs and the evolving global landscape. Key Initiatives 1. National Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS) - Launched in January 2024, this strategy aims to modernize the defense industrial base, making it more robust, resilient, and capable of rapid production to meet the needs of the US. 2. Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program - The DoD ManTech program focuses on identifying and closing manufacturing capability gaps. It aims to advance manufacturing technologies, strengthen joint planning, expand outreach, and develop the manufacturing workforce. 3. Additive Manufacturing Strategy - Released in 2021, this strategy promotes the use of additive manufacturing (3D printing) within the DoD. It provides a roadmap for integrating this technology to enhance supply chain agility, reduce lead times, and enable innovative solutions for sustainment challenges. 4. Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program (DBMIP) - Announced in 2024, this initiative focuses on strengthening domestic supply chains for biomanufacturing. Strategic Rationale 1. Supply Chain Resilience - developing and controlling key manufacturing technologies, the DoD can mitigate risks associated with global supply chain disruptions, which have become increasingly common due to geopolitical tensions and pandemics. 2. Technological Dominance - Maintaining technological superiority is crucial for national security. The DoD’s initiatives aim to foster innovation and keep pace with advancements in manufacturing. 3. Economic Security - The DoD recognizes that economic security and national security are intertwined. Strengthening the domestic industrial base not only supports military needs but also drives economic growth and job creation within the U.S. #Pentagon #DoD #Manufacturing #NationalSecurity #DefenseInnovation
