Mobilizing the Defense Industrial Base in Great Power Conflict

Abstract

America requires three items to succeed in mobilizing. First, it needs organizers who understand each industry's unique situations and adequately communicate those industries' requirements to pivot and support mobilization. Second, Congress needs to pass legislation that enhances the carrots and provides a stick to avoid the delay of mobilization. Finally, America needs an exact requirement for production needs; misunderstanding the type and volume of goods created inefficiencies in both World War I and World War II.
