WASHINGTON — Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao has appointed Mr. Andrew Magliochetti as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for the Defense Industrial Base.
The role oversees Navy efforts to strengthen the health and resilience of the service’s supplier network, working with shipyards, weapons manufacturers and critical sub-tier vendors to improve production capacity, workforce development and supply-chain security.
The appointment underscores a wider Defense Department push to shore up the industrial base amid rising global demand and ongoing supply-chain pressures, with a focus on increasing output of key systems, addressing fragile supplier tiers and reducing bottlenecks that affect sustainment and new construction programs.
Additional details on Magliochetti’s priorities and timeline are expected from the Navy.
