This week on All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with Bret Boyd, co-founder and CEO of Sustainment, to talk shop on reshoring U.S. manufacturing, rethinking the defense industrial base, and why clipboards and PDFs are still running the depots. Bret’s got the receipts—combat deployments with the 75th Ranger Regiment, 15+ years in tech, and now building one of the largest networks of non-traditional U.S. manufacturers.

What’s happening on the Second Front:

  • How small manufacturers hold the key to reindustrialization
  • The real bottlenecks behind readiness: not weapons, but parts
  • Why defense acquisition needs fewer PDFs and more CRMs
  • The case for a U.S. “manufacturing ready reserve”
