We assess Secretary of Defense Hegseth’s meeting with defense contractors on Friday at which he called for streamlined procurement and quicker delivery of weapons on a “wartime footing” and speak with Jennifer Kavanagh, a senior fellow & director of military analysis at Defense Priorities where her research focuses on U.S. military strategy, force structure and defense budgeting, the defense industrial base, and U.S. military deployments and interventions. Previously, she was a senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and she has an article at Responsible Statecraft we will discuss, “Hegseth dropped big Venezuela easter egg into Quantico speech.”
