While it’s impossible to say exactly what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will say when he addresses defense industry bigwigs on Friday, at this point we’ve got a pretty good idea — especially now that Breaking Defense got its hands on a draft memo laying out a major acquisition shakeup.
Though it was filmed before that particular development, this week’s episode of The Break Out features Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Deputy Editor Lee Ferran offering a preview of what Hegseth is likely to say and what it means for defense firms big and small alike.
Then, Senior Networks and Information Warfare Reporter Mark Pomerleau joins Aaron to explore the growing concern over the lack of confirmed leadership at US Cyber Command more than half a year after the firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh.
