Join the Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Clements Center for National Security as we host Caitlin Lee, Ph.D., the director of Acquisition Technology and Policy at RAND Corporation, as she gives a lecture on “The Central Role of the US Industrial Base in US National Security Decision Making.”

Deterring the next great power conflict isn’t just about military might. It’s about who can build, mobilize, and sustain faster. As the rivalry between the United States and China intensifies, the US industrial base is emerging as a game-changing instrument of national power, fueling an intense industrial base mobilization contest between the two great powers. Lee, a leading expert in defense policy, will reveal how new technologies and shifting geopolitics are transforming the way America prepares for and deters global threats. Drawing on lessons from Ukraine and other recent conflicts, this talk will show why the ability to scale up production and innovation is now the ultimate US advantage. Join us for a discussion that will shed new light on how mobilization capacity is shaping US force design—and what it means for US deterrence and the ability to prevail in twenty-first century conflict. Whether you’re a student, a curious member of the public, or a defense industry insider, don’t miss this chance to rethink the foundations of American security.

No registration required. Seating is first come, first served. Lunch will be served. For more information, reach out to Ali Prince at ali.prince@austin.utexas.edu
