The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Industrial Policy) has responsibility to assess the performance of the industrial base relevant to defense which includes the traditional defense industrial base as well as many dual use and commercial firms that supply goods and services to the defense sector. As part of its industrial base oversight responsibilities, DoD is planning to assess in a preliminary way the impact on the U.S. industrial base of the increasing foreign ownership of U.S. defense-relevant firms. DoD will use the information collected to assess the extent to which the foreign-acquired sample of U.S. firms expanded U.S. facilities and/or off-shored them and whether they remained reliable suppliers to their defense agency customers.
