Strengthening National Defense: U.S. Invests $39.9 Million in Domestic Circuit Board Production
The U.S. Department of Defense has taken a significant step towards bolstering the nation's supply chain resilience by awarding Calumet Electronics Corporation a $39.9 million contract under the Defense Production Act Investment (DPAI) Program. This investment aims to enhance the production of High-Density Build-Up (HDBU) substrates, essential components in modern High-Density Interconnect Printed Circuit Boards (PrCBs). Dr. Laura Taylor-Kale, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, emphasized the Biden Administration's commitment to advancing the domestic PrCB and advanced packaging industrial base, vital for contemporary weapons systems and maintaining a competitive edge in warfare technology.Calumet Electronics Corporation, based in Michigan, will utilize this funding to expand its engineering, tooling, and manufacturing operations. This expansion is crucial for establishing domestic production capabilities for HDBU substrates and advanced packaging, key technologies for sixth-generation systems used in radar, electronic warfare, processing, and communications. This award is part of the broader efforts of the DPAI Program, which, in 2023 alone, has made 22 awards totaling $714 million. The program is managed by the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Program (MCEIP) in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Resilience. This initiative underscores a strategic move to reinforce the United States' technological and defense capabilities through domestic production enhancement.Source: https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3589418/dod-awards-399-million-to-strengthen-us-supply-chains-for-printed-circuit-boards/

I can still vividly remember reciting the Navy’s Leadership Principles by memory while my squad leader was inches from my face during freshmen orientation for the Navy ROTC program at the University of Washington. Here are the Navy’s 11 Leadership Principles (admittedly I can no longer recite them from memory):1. Know your people and look out for their welfare.2. Keep your people informed.3. Know yourself and seek self-improvement.4. Be technically and tactically proficient.5. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.6. Make sound and timely decisions.7. Set the example.8. Develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates.9. Ensure that the task is understood, supervised, and accomplished.10. Train your people as a team.11. Employ your unit in accordance with its capabilities.When I was an 18 year old midshipman, the principles were something that I had to learn for inspections. However, during my career, they have become guidelines for me when I have had the privilege to lead. I also judge some of my bosses by whether their actions follow the principles. Take a look at the principles and think of the managers that you work for during your career. If you find them violating the principles, inherently you have judged them as poor managers. Conversely, if you find them following the principles, I’m sure you’ve labeled them as good leaders.
