ODIA Defense Briefing - Built to Sustain - Preparing Oklahoma for the Future of Defense Readiness w/ Mr. Jeff Carter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Product Support (Acquisition)

October 27, 2026 3:00 PM - 6:30 PM (CDT)

Description

As the Department of War works to strengthen military readiness, the ability to sustain, repair, modernize and support critical systems throughout their life cycle is becoming increasingly important to national security. 

Join us for a special Defense Briefing with Jeff Carter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Product Support (Acquisition), for a conversation about the future of defense sustainment and what it means for Oklahoma. Carter will share insight into emerging priorities across industrial capacity, supply-chain resilience, advanced manufacturing, workforce, public-private partnerships and life-cycle product support—and how industry, academia, military installations and state partners can better prepare for the capabilities the Department will need in the years ahead. 

For Oklahoma, the opportunity goes beyond responding to the next contract. It is about understanding where future requirements are headed and building the people, infrastructure, partnerships and capabilities needed to help keep the warfighter ready. The question for Oklahoma is not simply what opportunities are coming—but whether we are preparing now to meet them.
