Abstract:

This industrial base planning conference is designed to address past shortcomings of command post exercises and studies constrained by narrow parameters. It directly involves industry in assessing responsiveness and minimizes governments role and assumptions. The conference also addresses current OSD thrust of rapid expansion of production of critical end items in a national security emergency short of mobilization. Its purpose is to develop recommendations for potential actions by government and industry to provide a capability to rapidly increase production off critical end items in a national security emergency short of mobilization. Defense contractors simulated maximum production acceleration of selected items for national security emergency which would transition to mobilizaation later, government established a steering group and a response cell.
