Defense industrial base readiness

The defense industrial base (DIB) includes the people and organizations responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the systems that keep the nation secure—from advanced manufacturing and engineering to logistics, maintenance, and supply chain operations.

A joint session by CSIS and the National Institute for Industry and Career Advancement (NIICA) will take a close look at how workforce readiness and talent pipelines shape the country’s ability to meet the defense imperative.
