## Resource

In episode 103 of The Defense Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how the Pentagon is shifting from owning its logistics fleet to buying transportation as a service. They examine the Joint Logistics Enterprise (LOGEN) concept, using the examples of Amazon's commercial delivery network and the Defense Logistics Agency's pilot to contract cargo capacity on a subscription model. Lucas explains that this 'Uber for military logistics' could reduce fixed costs and increase flexibility, drawing parallels to how commercial supply chains operate. Luna questions the risks of relying on private carriers in contested zones, and Lucas discusses the balance between efficiency and resiliency. The hosts also touch on how recent stock moves in defense primes like Lockheed Martin and Boeing reflect investor uncertainty about the Pentagon's shifting procurement priorities. The episode includes a natural, listener-supported donation segment and closes with a look at the upcoming earnings reports and inflation data amid heightened geopolitical tensions. #Pentagon #DefenseLogistics #SubscriptionModel #MilitarySupplyChain #LOGEN #DefenseDepartment #TransportationAsAService #Amazon #FedEx #SupplyChainInnovation #Logistics #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefenseTech #Procurement #PentagonReform Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
