ODIA Defense Briefing - From Resources to Readiness - Connecting Navy Priorities to Oklahoma Capability w/ Rear Admiral Ben Reynolds, U.S. Navy

Description

As the U.S. Navy modernizes its force, strengthens readiness and expands the nation’s defense industrial capacity, the connection between what the warfighter needs and how those capabilities are resourced, built and sustained is increasingly critical. 

Join the Oklahoma Defense Industry Association for a special morning defense briefing with Rear Admiral Ben Reynolds, an Oklahoma native and senior Navy leader with extensive experience in resource planning, capability assessment and operational leadership. The conversation will explore evolving Navy priorities and where Oklahoma’s capabilities can contribute—from strategic deterrence and aviation sustainment to advanced manufacturing, autonomy, emerging technology and the broader defense industrial base. 

This briefing will give Oklahoma industry, military, academic and government partners a clearer view of the challenges the Navy is working to solve—and how our state can better align its people, infrastructure and capabilities with future mission needs.
