Revisiting EMSO Strategy Implementation and Other Stuff

Author: Association of Old Crows February 19, 2025 Duration: 47:34

In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller welcomes back John Knowles, Editor-in-Chief AOC’s Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance (JED). Ken and John revisit EMSO reforms from recent defense budgets and discuss the level of progress (or in the case of EMSO, lack of progress). They also look to the FY 2026 defense budget that is on the horizon to discuss challenges and opportunities for funding EMSO priorities considering pressures to cut defense spending and bring efficiencies to the Department of Defense.
