Defense Procurement Reform: A Heavy Read, but Not Academic
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2026 shows at least one thing: If you live long enough, you might see significant reform in the Defense Department.
Frankly, with all of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s activities since his confirmation, I wondered whether he knew that millions of words of recommendations – and sound ones at that – already existed on how acquisition might improve. He may, but those who have spent years on these matters believe it will be Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg who will push the reforms through.
