On this #EarthDay, we in the Department of Defense re-commit ourselves to advancing a more sustainable future for our country, our military, and our communities. And we know that, as we do so, we’re building a safer, more secure world. #EarthDay24
During #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild, the #DoD highlights the bravery and strength of our military children, youth, and teens. Meet Aleese Lipscomb, daughter of @usairforce Master Sgt. Nathan Lipscomb. Watch as she shares her artistic talents & discusses her life as #MilitaryChild.
Ensuring our military spouses can maintain meaningful careers is not just the right thing to do, it is a national security imperative. Allowing more spouses the ability to keep their federal jobs and telework strengthens economic security and quality of life for our Service…
Today is Purple Up! Day, a special day in April when we recognize the contributions of our nation’s 1.6 million military children. The @DeptofDefense is committed to ensuring military families, including kids, receive the support and tools that allow them to thrive.
Today, I met with Indian Foreign Secretary Kwatra to take stock of the historic major defense partnership between our countries. We’re continuing to expand our partnership in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
I am honored to celebrate this Month of the Military Child by honoring the @Op_Homefront 2024 Military Child of the Year Award recipients. We have the fiercest fighting force in the world because we have the finest military families in the world, including 1.6 million children.
Yesterday I spoke with senior military and national security civilian leaders from across the U.S. government. We touched on the PRC pacing challenge, CJADC2, and warfighter-centric innovation. Communicating internally about our priorities is imperative for senior leaders – it’s…
.@PermSecMOD David Williams & I spoke yesterday to reaffirm the special relationship between the U.S. and UK and discuss our common security interests. I look forward to hosting our UK counterparts for the U.S.-UK Defense Dialogue. defense.gov/News/Releases/…
The strategic value of information to decision-making is critical for our warfighters and industry partners—and that’s exactly why we stood up @DODCDAO. Today, I swore in Dr. Plumb as the new CDAO chief, whose expertise will undoubtedly enhance the CDAO’s innovative efforts.
Today, I met with Australian Minister of Defence Industry Pat Conroy to discuss how our two countries are working together more closely than ever to strengthen our defense industrial base cooperation. More: defense.gov/News/Releases/… @DefenceAust
The Fiscal Year 2025 budget request will continue to make America more secure, bolster our ability to defend our country, and pave the way toward a more resilient joint force and defense ecosystem built for the security challenges of the 21st century.
The responsibility, leadership, and skills developed while in civilian service to our nation can reap life-long benefits for you, your family, your community, and our nation. Learn more about breadth of opportunities available at: dodciviliancareers.com
Honored to administer the Oath of Enlistment to new Service members at the Baltimore Military Entrance Processing Station. Our military has the most advanced satellites, aircraft, ships and tanks, but our decisive advantage has always been our people. Welcome to the Joint Force!
The Biden-Harris Administration’s focus on American innovation, manufacturing, and production has been so important for national security. Because our military strength depends, in part, on our overall economic strength here at home.
I want to thank all of our workers across the defense industrial base. American ingenuity and hard work are why U.S. military equipment is the best in the world. You will remain one of our greatest enduring advantages, long into the future.
Together with industry, our task is to deliver combat-credible capabilities to the warfighter at speed and scale, so they can deter aggression, and win if called to fight.
A key trend in today’s defense industrial base is disruption: a new generation of defense-tech startups and scale-ups. And that’s welcomed, because competition is good for the taxpayer, and good for the warfighter, too.
We want to see more market competition within the defense industry. More small businesses and suppliers pioneering solutions that can make a difference for the warfighter. More companies that want to work with us, whether for the first time or after doing so for a long time.
This year’s @DeptofDefense budget advances generational military investments we put in motion in 2021. For the fourth year in a row, our budget furthers our goals to defend the nation, take care of our people, and succeed through teamwork.
