🚨🇺🇸 Secretary of Defense Hegseth has ordered a pause of both all new Army contract awards and solicitations!
"The pause could last as little as 10 days but could potentially continue for months," per 2 sources and an email seen by Bloomberg Gov.
A months long contracting freeze would be an unmitigated disaster, causing serious injury to the US Army.

As of two hours ago the US Army was still posting new solicitations on the US Government's contracting portal. I don't know precisely when the Secretary's directive was issued and whether it would take effect immediately.

@WinstonSyme4 @NotWoofers: You can't audit all the Army's contracts in 10 days and anything longer than that will cost the Department more money than could be conceivably be saved by uncovering "waste, fraud and abuse". This is obvious to anyone who knows anything about government. This was always the biggest risk of a guy like Hegseth. Not qualified to lead 3 million people and a $850 billion budget.

🇺🇸 This is a very good EO. Ultimately though, it is meaningless until the White House OMB authorizes the Missile Defense Agency to submit a budget request that adequately funds all these requirements. Then its incumbent on the President to push certain intransigent members of Congress to appropriate what is being requested. All the key Committee Chairs will be on board with this, but it's a narrow majority and most Democrats still have a pathological hatred of missile defense. https://twitter.com/John_A_Ridge/status/1884092146275484136#m

@ekat_kittycat: There's no reason why there can't be tangible deliverables though. Just fully funding NGI & GPI and then some would go a long way.
