The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessdefense.gov\/docs\/ndis\/2023-NDIS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">plan was mostly a list of two dozen recommendations<\/a> \u2014 from increasing stockpiles to training more skilled workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A detailed plan on how to implement it would come in March, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/01\/11\/pentagons-first-industrial-strategy-calls-for-generational-change\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pentagon officials said. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It hasn\u2019t. And earlier this month, Laura Taylor-Kale, the Defense Department\u2019s head of industrial base policy, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulmcleary\/status\/1778171290920100017\" target=\"_blank\">said it would arrive in the summer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That delay is a problem for members of Congress who want to include the plan in their annual defense policy bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would prefer to have the implementation plan for [the National Defense Industrial Strategy] now,\u201d said Rob Wittman, R-Va, the vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, speaking at an event hosted by George Mason University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taylor-Kale was scheduled to speak alongside Wittman but canceled shortly before it began due to a separate commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House bill will come to the floor in the second week of June, Wittman said, which will be before lawmakers get the plan. That means the only chance the strategy makes it into legislation this year is if the Senate\u2019s bill \u2014 arriving later \u2014 includes some of the recommended steps and then they make it into the version that both chambers eventually pass, a process known as conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, Wittman said, that leaves members of Congress guessing how best to put the plan into action, and risking an approach different from the one the Pentagon wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would prefer to have had this upfront to inform our process with NDAA,\u201d he said. \u201cApparently &#8230; that\u2019s not going to happen. I think that\u2019s a lost period of time that we need to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The strategy released in January but a plan to actually put it into action
