Chair (Mike Rogers) opened the hearing, praised service members and framed the hearing as an examination of the defense industrial base (DIB). He argued the DIB has atrophied since the Cold War, cited consolidation, workforce losses and supply-chain dependency on China, and said revitalizing the industrial base is the committee's top NDAA priority.
