Watch Thursday: OLDCC at Brookings Event on Defense Spending in the States

April 25, 2022

The DOD Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation will be part of a Brookings webcast called “Defense spending in the states.”

The event will focus largely on the industrial base’s supply chain challenges and how DOD’s report on spending in each state can help “state and local leaders target support to workers and companies in the defense industrial base, so they can be responsive to our current and future national security needs,” according to the website.

OLDCC released its report on DOD spending in each state last month, as On Base reported.
