to meet U.S. military requirements. The Defense Industrial Base partnership
consists of Department of Defense components, more than 100,000 Defense
Industrial Base companies and their subcontractors who perform under contract
to the Department of Defense, companies providing incidental materials and
services to the Department of Defense, and government-owned/contractor-operated

services such as power, communications, transportation, or utilities that the
Department of Defense uses to meet military operational requirements. These
commercial infrastructure assets are addressed by other Sector-Specific
