The Joint Staff Director of Logistics (J-4) sponsored an Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) project to identify policy options to strengthen the nation's industrial base. To answer the tasking, a two phased approach was taken. First, the recommendations of the past five years of the ICAF Defense Industry Study (DIS) Program were examined.
