The Pentagon has made it a priority since the outset of Pete Hegseth's tenure as US Secretary of Defense to drive a transformation in the speed, capacity, and lethality of the American defense industry. This was emphasized by Parnell in a statement. Hegseth's deputy, Feinberg, is actively working to reform an outdated procurement system. "Working directly with industry leaders to accelerate production is not a new approach," Parnell noted.
