Defense acquisition logistics challenges have been talked about and studied and debated on many occasions (some of them on this radio station). But most of the time the voices are the same ones that you’ve heard hash through these issues before.

Organized by the fellows themselves, the symposium provided a greater awareness of the valuable policy work our defense leaders are producing at think tanks and research institutions across the nation.”
