The House’s new Pentagon bill cuts funding for a second Virginia-class submarine, approving only one for fiscal 2025. This decision, aligning with the Navy's request, comes amid production delays and industrial base constraints. Despite a push from bipartisan lawmakers like Rep. Joe Courtney, the focus now shifts to rebuilding the industrial base to ensure future submarine production. While the bill includes $3.6B for one sub and $3.7B for advance procurement, concerns linger about the supply chain’s stability. 🌊 Stay tuned as the debate heats up! https://lnkd.in/e4_aCKQh #DefenseSpending #Submarines #MilitaryNews #Congress #Navy Patricia Giesler Kevin Uhrich Tara Hill Thavey Córdoba

Interesting thoughts from U.S. Rep. Morgan Luttrell as he argues for the establishment of a new, dedicated military branch focused solely on cybersecurity. He points out the increasing complexity and activity within the cyber domain, emphasizing that current efforts are fragmented across existing military branches, which hinders effective cyber defense. Luttrell highlights the reduction in funding for cyber operations and the insufficient staffing of cyber teams. Drawing parallels to the creation of the Air Force and Space Force, he asserts that a unified cyber force is necessary to adequately organize, train, and equip personnel to meet modern cyber threats.
