  1. Industrial Base Challenge Transition from peacetime to war • PEACETIME • Low item demands • Production rates in line with demand • Industrial Base Capacity tends to right size with historic demands • WARTIME • Demands rise rapidly • Demands must be meet on very short timelines • Demands rise simultaneously in all commodity areas • Supply and Industrial base capacities pushed to limits • Prioritization of demands required when capacities exceeded KEY READINESS CONCERN • What if another Major Combat Operations Happens soon? • Industrial base may not be able to timely support. • War Reserve limited due to recent operations. • Options to enhance or improve supply posture reduced by actions already taken.

  2. Tech Insert Demand Production War Reserve 9-11 C2A1 Canister • Before 9-11 • Average monthly demand: 24K • Monthly production rate: 35K • After 9-11 • Major surge in demands • Large increase in monthly production • Increased production due to technology improvement in canister packaging • Reduction in War Reserve levels

  3. SOLUTIONS • Make CB War Reserve Stocks a joint program • Increase war reserve stocks • Enhance CB surveillance and shelf life testing programs • Improve field asset visibility • MICAS • Expand industrial base • Increased funding to build more robust base • Capitalize on technology enhancements • e.g., modernized packaging for C2A1 canister
