Earlier this week, USD(A&S) William LaPlante chaired the inaugural plenary meeting of the Partnership for Indo-Pacific Industrial Resilience (PIPIR), a multi-lateral forum of allies and partners aimed at strengthening defense industrial resilience to promote continued regional security, economic security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. National Armaments Directors, and similarly positioned senior leaders, joined him from all PIPIR member nations in both the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic regions. The forum serves as a platform to accelerate defense industrial base cooperation by reducing barriers to production, creating new sustainment hubs, and addressing supply chain constraints. "From day one, Secretary Austin has driven success through teamwork," LaPlante said. "Today's security environment demands closer collaboration with our allies and partners. #PIPIR will help strengthen our collective ability to produce and sustain warfighting capability in the Indo-Pacific, and the National Armaments Directors are uniquely positioned to drive action in these areas."
