SteerBridge Founder Rob Schroder, and F-35 Subject Matter Expert Michal Dehner, recently published an article discussing current arms delays facing the American Military.
Schroder and Dehner share that "The war in Ukraine has exposed a deep vulnerability: from missiles to tanks, the West at present cannot produce needed weapons at speed and scale. This has meant a desperate struggle for Ukraine, but it also portends a potential crisis for the U.S. in the seas and air should an unanticipated prolonged conflict occur in the future such as is the possible case with Taiwan."SteerBridge Public Affairs

SteerBridge Founder Rob Schroder, and SteerBridge F-35 Subject Matter Expert Michael Dehner, recently shared their insights on the future of the U.S. F-35 Program.
The SteerBridge leaders highlight a concern that "Despite rapidly devolving security situations in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific, the Defense Department’s FY23 budget calls for reduced purchases of the F-35, the most capable aircraft ever to exist. With the program’s international partners set to take a greater share of new aircraft coming online, the Joint Program Office (JPO) – the entity which oversees every aspect of the F-35, including foreign partners and military sales – could become an enabler for the Biden Administration's new concept of "integrated deterrence.”SteerBridge Leadership Shares Insight on AI Utilization to Enhance Military Recruiting

SteerBridge Managing Director of Growth, Raul Lianez, and Director of Sustainment, Bill Gray, recently published an article addressing the ongoing recruiting struggles that the American military faces.
American military recruiting is in dire straits. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently determined the Defense Department confronts its most challenging recruitment environment in 50 years, reporting the department "does not have sufficient plans, goals, and strategies to guide its recruitment and retention efforts."
Recruiters for the armed services face a daunting task, especially amid a hot job market and polarized cultural landscape. Existing AI tools have the potential to streamline and focus their efforts, pre-identifying those most qualified and most likely to want to serve. They can do this through readily available public data while also respecting individual privacy. It is time to use these tools.
