The Defense Business Board will meet Monday to discuss results from the panel's study examining how the Pentagon could provide better visibility into defense-related supply chain risks.
The Jan. 13 meeting is open to the public from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., according to a Federal Register notice posted today.
Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks commissioned the study in August 2024 -- citing the risks insufficient supply chain visibility.
“Illumination into defense-related supply chains,” Hicks said in the Terms of Reference letter, “allows the Department of Defense (DOD) to anticipate disruptions, reduce vulnerabilities, and strengthen resilience to supply shocks.”
The subcommittee will also brief the board on “best practices, findings and recommendations” for improved supply chain risk management, the notice said.
