Crisis of Repetition in US National Security Policy

There is a recognized crisis of repetition in US national security policy, specifically concerning the defense industrial base, critical mineral supply chain, infrastructure weaknesses, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The gap between problem recognition and actual problem resolution across administrations hinders the ability to deter war, as ensuring the ability to produce necessary military resources is crucial. Previous failures in deterring conflicts emphasize the necessity of convincing adversaries of the US's capability to procure resources for conflict.
