I will continue to press the Department of Defense for a briefing and a written report to Congress within 90 days on the impacts of Army aviation procurement reductions and steps to preserve the Army aviation industrial base.

The members formally request a briefing and a written report to Congress within 90 days addressing: The Department’s evaluation of the impacts of planned Army aviation procurement reductions on the defense industrial base, including supplier viability, warm production lines, and surge production capacity; Steps being considered to mitigate potential losses in critical production and sustainment capabilities; How the Department is assessing whether minimum sustaining production rates may be necessary to preserve strategic industrial capacity while modernization proceeds; and How these decisions align with broader National Defense Strategy priorities related to industrial resilience and mobilization readiness, including any actions the Department may consider necessary to mitigate identified industrial-base risks.

DeLauro led a bipartisan request for a DOD briefing and report within 90 days on protecting the Army aviation industrial base amid procurement reductions.

The Army announced plans to release a request for information on a potential commercial production line to maintain and upgrade some 2,300 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and variants.

This is the latest concrete sign I found related to the industrial-base issue, but it does not show the promised DoD briefing or written report to Congress was delivered. Status remains unresolved.
