America’s ability to deter and defend from threats abroad depends on a domestic industrial base capable of meeting the demands of long-term competition. As global economic realignment accelerates, the United States is entering a new era of reindustrialization that will redefine the relationship between private capital, industry, and national strategy. Building a secure and resilient defense ecosystem requires more than innovation in technology—it demands sustained investment and modernized manufacturing. The road to rebuilding industrial strength is not without obstacles: capital constraints, supply chain challenges, workforce shortages, and production bottlenecks. Enduring national strength will depend on a commitment to invest in resilience, restore capacity, and renew confidence in the nation’s industrial future.
