So without answering to the particulars, because as you flagged, I think that these are things we very rationally and deliberately leave decision-making space for the president and the secretary of war on.

I can say kind of unequivocally, if you look at what we're doing with our defense industrial base, we are hyper-focused on building resiliency for things like chips.

If you compare and contrast, and these are all publicly available information, the number of drones we're capable of manufacturing today versus the number of drones China's capable of manufacturing today, we are much less than.

I'd say in six or 12 months, that number is going to be totally different.

I think a lot of the ways that we make the situation you described less relevant to us as a nation, we would still be acutely aware of it, and the president would make his decision, and we would follow through.

But it would be less impactful to us when we return manufacturing excellence to our nation.

And so one of the things we, the Army, are doing

that we'll probably in the next six weeks at the same conference I was talking about we're doing is we're looking at all of the assets we have on our depots and our arsenals and our bases.

And we have lots of land.

We have land that is already protected.

We have land that is ready to have manufacturing facilities put on it.

So as an example of a thing we are considering,

We're going to invite a lot of private equity investors and larger companies to come to this event and look at what we have to offer them and look at our needs.

And there may be instances where for like data centers, as an example, if you build your data center on our Army Depot or Arsenal or base,

You use 90 percent of it to sell.

You give us 10 percent of it.

And we, the Army, can use that.

And it's kind of this net positive.

We are also looking at chips, and we're looking at brushless motors for drones.

And we are looking at all of the things that we as a nation would need to continue to fight and win wars.
