Reagan National Defense Forum 2021 - Discussion with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III

Defense Lloyd J. Austin III discusses changes in the military to keep up with China and its growth in new technology and military might. As a first rule we should think about working together toward a greater goal to ensure that our way of life and essential values of democracy are a beacon for peoples and nations around the world. He believes, sincere selflessness helps empower people to rise to new challenges and often sets the exceptional and the average apart (Duty, Honor, Country). 

Competitive Position

There is a lot in this speech so I want you to listen to the whole thing yourself. As a general platform the use of innovative hubs/clusters can lead to diverse innovation as a national cultural phenomenon. Free minds, free spirits, and entrepreneurial spirit is what can set this country apart as an economic powerhouse and in terms of capacity a military powerhouse. 

Having the will also means we need the way. That often comes from rethinking our developmental approaches and often moving into the very minute understandings of how new ideas are created, rewarded, and fostered. Innovation is a process that when put within a theoretical model can sometimes be built in other locations and places. As we move into more VR world with the virtual and physical divide integrating with AI and wearable technology one must think to the very small transactional structures that make it possible.

The platform of sub transactions to understand innovation is important. It helps to see how clusters can be built and developed in a way that leads to new industries and faster transactional shares that help to speed up new ideas from inception to scalable large scale resources for the military and for civilian based products that can be sold. It is possible to rejuvenate the economy and the military in one major innovative push that uses bottom up small business partnering with major corporate and military stakeholders.
