Imagine you wake up one morning in the not too distant future, hop on your phone, and read that China overnight launched a series of attacks on Taiwan. In addition, China attacked U.S. bases in Japan, Guam, and Hawaii with volleys of missile and cyber attacks. While the damage is still being assessed, one thing is clear -
We are now at war with China.
You throw on your uniform, kiss your spouse and kids, and head into the office early. You’re a program manager for one of DoD’s hundreds of weapon systems. You get a call from the Pentagon. DoD leaders determined your program is one of a priority set of capabilities deemed critical to combat China.
Your orders are to develop a plan to accelerate deliveries ASAP to INDOPACOM. Schedule is now your #1 priority. Expect Congress to appropriate hundreds of billions in additional funding to the DoD, which your program can tap.
Upon hanging up the phone, you assemble your leadership team in the conference room and relay the orders.
