Industry Speaks: Perspective from the Fourth Component

摘要

The NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting would not be complete without perspective from the fourth component—industry. Leading this portion of the program, Mr. Tom Crowley, Jr., CEO of Crowley Maritime Corp., provided the industry keynote address. He highlighted challenges commercial companies are facing as they support DOD and Homeland Security missions. These challenges included contested environments around the globe, rising world powers, safety concerns during activation, the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes and other natural disasters, labor shortages, technology deployment and the connection between varying systems, and cyber threats to those systems and throughout our network.
