Reminder

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

JOIN THE FIGHT.

@VP Vance is calling on ALL public officeholders — members of Congress, local and statewide officials — to seek out, prosecute, eliminate, fraud at every level.

It's essential that Americans trust their government to protect their taxpayer dollars.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The War Department is waging war against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Proud to stand alongside @POTUS, @VP, and @WHFraudTF.

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

Deputy Under Secretary of War - (Comptroller) Michael Powers appreciated the opportunity to engage with San Diego's financial management community last week on advancing @DeptOfWar audit readiness, showcasing innovation, and strengthening collaboration across government and industry.

"Our goal of a clean audit opinion by FY28 is the Department's Audit North Star. We are building the reliable data and disciplined processes our leaders need to make better resource decisions, understand readiness, and manage risk. Reaching that goal will take shared accountability and close partnership across the financial management, operational, and technology enterprises, and we are well on the right track."
— Hon. Powers

.@SeanParnellASW "THIS DEPARTMENT IS IN LOCKSTEP.

EVERY BRANCH. EVERY AGENCY. EVERY LEADER IS UNIFIED BEHIND ONE SINGULAR OBJECTIVE:

PUTTING BETTER CAPABILITIES IN THE HANDS OF OUR TROOPS FASTER."

[DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse]

.@SECWAR spoke about the generational $1.5 trillion investment request.

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

The future of warfare is already here...autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, resilient space capabilities, and mass production matter.
@OwenWest91 is right.
The President’s $1.5 trillion defense budget would rebuild capacity, accelerate innovation, and ensure our military is prepared before, not after, the next crisis.

Under Secretary of War Jules Hurst @DoWCFO - checking out what @9Mothers, @PerseusDefense, @usulhq & @RowndAI are up to, and where we're all going.

[Rob Thelen @rgthelen]

Two words kept coming up yesterday at @ycombinator's The Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250:

Super Intelligence. The transition from AI to SI is real.

Loved chatting with Under Secretary of War Jules Hurst @DoWCFO about the future of defense tech and how @RowndAI can help solve real problems for the warfighter and deliver economical, autonomous systems at scale.

A Wednesday well spent in Washington, D.C.

[Jules Hurst @JulesHurstIII]

We love the startups, innovators, and patriots working to improve our industrial base! @ycombinator @garrytan

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

Under Secretary of War Jules Hurst appreciated the opportunity to join @ycombinator's Startup Industrial Base: Building for the next 250.

He highlighted how greater budget transparency and timely execution data can help the @DeptofWar, Congress, and industry better align resources with priorities, thus moving proven capabilities to the warfighter faster.

He also advised innovators to solve real problems, understand the acquisition path, and demonstrate to the Department they can deliver at scale.

"Having the users like your products is incredibly necessary," Hon. Hurst said. "But it's the program offices and the [portfolio acquisition executives, or] PAEs who really have the power to make you successful. You have to provide the solution to them.

"Again, they’ve made their budget. They made it a year and a half ago. They've made a plan to execute that budget. So anything you're bringing in is, at times, disruptive to them if they have an established program. So you've got to figure out how you can fit in.”

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

If you have experience in financial contracting, budgeting, systems integration, or data analytics, this is your call. Be a part of something bigger than yourself.

Applications are open now.

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

Through FAST, the @DeptofWar is establishing a disciplined mechanism to challenge the way we do business, identify where taxpayer dollars are not producing sufficient value, and act on those findings.

Under @SecWar’s leadership, we will work tirelessly to reduce unnecessary overhead, improve accountability, and put resources where they matter most—building the force we need to deter our enemies and win our Nation's wars.

— Under Secretary of War Jules Hurst III
