And that council, that meeting took place within a month.

That's unheard of bureaucratic speed.

I can tell you.

That doesn't make me feel better.

Not a very high bar.

No.

The commitment to modernizing our defense industrial base couldn't be stronger.

I heard it loud and clear during my confirmation process.

The State Department role here is to make sure that our regulatory approach doesn't constrain our allies and partners.

that the demand signal from every part of the government, from this committee, from my leadership, was to move faster and to provide more capability.

I think our recent America First arms transfer strategy is a –

a really good iteration on that, that for our partners and allies around the world, it might not always require our most exquisite platform, might not require an F-35, might not require a Patriot system, but there are other systems that are certainly good enough, that complement existing US posture in the region, and that can send a demand signal to industry

to, uh, stand up other capabilities.

So again, the state department piece of this is to, uh, open up the aperture, take on a little more risk and move faster.

Um, that really is dwarfed by the reforms they're making in the war department and under secretary Duffy and his team, uh, are making, um, drastic reforms.

Uh, we work very closely with them.

I'm on a call with them, uh,

weekly driving change, driving integration.

So it is a priority for us.

And again, I think it's not going to happen overnight and it's not going to be easy or painless.
